how does is work?
Each month, a tight-knit, carefully curated group of peers use their collective experience to solve problems together.
This is not a chat, it’s a focused, productive and expertly facilitated consideration of a needle-moving challenge in your business.
Each Mastermind will have a maximum of 8 attendees, meeting in-person for half a day per month
Each member will have a turn in the “HotSeat” every month, leveraging the collective experience of the group to tackle a specific challenge they are facing
Mike asks probing coaching questions to get clear on the real issue (which isn’t always as it first seems) and provides expert facilitation to gather options from the group, whilst ensuring that each discussion remains focused and insightful. He then rounds the HotSeat off by focusing on the next steps that you are commiting to
Members make a commitment to the group – to show up, fully participate and share their knowledge and experience
Initially, we are offering free trial sessions so that you can decide whether the Mastermind is right for you.
The Mastermind will then open to book for January-December 2024. Everyone will join at the same time and commit to 12 months with the group. This will enable members to deepen their relationships and trust, and increase the power of their hive-mind.
