Mastermind Group: Interim Management

Working Free Mastermind Groups

Overview

Working Free Mastermind Groups are peer-to-peer mentoring groups used to help Members solve their business problems with Input and advice from other members. They offer a combination of brainstorming, education, peer accountability and support in a group setting to sharpen your business and personal skills. The Mastermind Group helps you and your Mastermind Group members achieve success. Members challenge each other to set strong goals accomplish them.

Mastermind Group Leaders start and run groups. They help the group to dive deeply into discussions, and work with members to create success — as each member defines it. Through a mastermind group process, first Members create a goal, then design a plan to achieve it. The group helps Members with creative ideas and wise decisions-making. Then, as Members begin to implement their plans, they bring both success stories and problems to the group. Success stories are applauded, and problem are solved through peer brainstorming and collective, creative thinking. The group requires commitment, confidentiality, willingness to both give and receive advice and ideas, and support each other with total honesty, respect and compassion. Mastermind group members act as catalysts for growth, devil’s advocates and supportive colleagues. This is the essence and value of mastermind groups. Each meeting has a Mastermind Group agenda so that conversations stay on course. The group expert is tasked with making sure that conversations are deep and balanced, and that all mastermind group meeting agenda items are covered in the time allotted. Group Members commit to absolute confidentiality relating to Group discussions and other Members.

Members will have access to online resources provided by the Group Leader, will have dedicated time to share their ideas and issues with other group members and will get feedback from other group members and guidance from the Group Leader.  Members share their contact details with other members in the Group and may interact with others outside formal Group Meetings.
