French term or phrase: un lieu démultiplicateur de points de vue
Contexte:

Alors? Et s'il existait un moyen d'aller plus vite (et bien), collectivement? Et s'il existait un chemin qui évite les embûches parce que d'autres qui sont déjà passés par là partagent le fruit de leur expérience, et leur soutien. Et s'il existait un lieu démultiplicateur de points de vue, un super catalyseur d'apprentissages, un formidable accélerateur de résultats? Certes, ce serait un moyen à contre-courant du héros qui réussit seul, mais un moyen à la fois moderne et ancestral, de franchir les étapes grâce à l'intelligence collective mise au service d'une quête.

Merci Beaucoup,

Barbara
