How do the Mastermind rounds work?

A mastermind group is designed to provide a space for its members to exchange ideas, experiences, and perspectives. Typically, mastermind groups meet regularly over a course of weeks or months. However, our mini-mastermind event is uniquely structured to focus on the exchange of feedback within a single, dynamic hour.

During this hour, you will have the opportunity to both receive feedback on a topic of your choosing from your group members, and to offer your own feedback to help them workshop their questions. This reciprocal approach ensures that every participant gains valuable insights and contributes meaningfully to the group’s discussions.

Structure and Timing

Grouping: You will be part of a small group of 4 people. This ensures quality interactions and personalized feedback.

Spotlight Session: Each member will have 15 minutes dedicated to them. This is your opportunity to seek advice, brainstorm solutions, receive encouragement, or anything else you need to move forward.

The spotlight session begins with the person in the spotlight sharing their specific ask or challenge. Please allow them to present uninterrupted for 4-5 minutes. Afterward, the group may collectively discuss the ask, helping them brainstorm solutions and offer advice.

Guidelines for Participating in Spotlight Sessions

  1. Focus on the Goal: The primary goal of each session is to workshop the specific question or challenge presented by the person in the spotlight. Keep all discussions relevant and aimed at addressing their needs.

  2. Ask Concisely: If you have questions during the discussion, make them concise and clarifying, focusing directly on the topic at hand. Avoid open-ended questions that might divert the conversation.

  3. Step Back / Step Forward: If you are someone who easily speaks up in groups, please be mindful of sharing your thoughts succinctly. Avoid lengthy personal anecdotes and aim to keep your contributions concise, not exceeding 2 minutes at a time. If you tend to be quieter, challenge yourself to participate and share your insights. Every perspective is valuable and can significantly impact the person in the spotlight.

    Remember: The success of each session depends on respectful and focused collaboration. Let's help each other grow by adhering to these guidelines.
