The Selection Process:

Here are the three criteria that we use to make our selection:
Criteria One:
Our Gurus must be well-known in their field, credentialed, and have a proven track record of impact with other companies or persons with whom they have worked.
Criteria Two:
Our Gurus have to “hold” the audience, deliver useful information, and
provide a compelling learning experience for our members.
Criteria Three:
Our Gurus have to support The Guru Nation’s mission to provide high-quality, professional development and career advancement learning and access for all motivated professionals.
