Testimonials from marketing leaders
How does Mastermind work?
-
Each participant will have the opportunity to be in what we affectionately call, the ‘hotseat’ (no, it's not really hot, and there are no fiery red ants after you).
-
When you're in the hot seat you are the sole focus of the group's attention. You get instant feedback, hear new perspectives, get better and more numerous ideas and solutions than you could conceive on your own - massively reducing your learning curve. Everyone will have a turn in the hotseat (but not everyone at the same meeting time).
-
Mastermind groups work because members want to be part of something bigger than themselves. The group energy is a key component to the mastermind group, and you have to be connected and give fully of yourself.
-
Everything that is shared is held in confidence within the group.
-

What's in it for you?
-
The attention and focus of all members when you're in the hotseat. All eyes are on you during your hotseat. Every member's contribution has you and your success at its core.
-
Solutions, ideas, support, feedback. After each hotseat you'll have ideas that you can use immediately to achieve your results.
-
Accountability. Each meeting you’ll report your progress on actions you committed to at the last meeting. Members and Lyanne (your facilitator), will hold you accountable to your commitments.
-
Support between meetings from other members. Members are a phone call or instant message away.
-
Personal and professional growth. The learning you get during mastermind group meetings comes from each member sharing insights from their experiences. You will learn from their successes and mistakes, and since you're in a group of your peers, you frequently learn as much from others hot seats as you do your own.
-
Build your network. You'll have people you may have never otherwise met that you can continue to connect with for years to come.

What people say about
working with Lyanne
Lyanne is the type of Mastermind facilitator you look forward to – making sure there’s appropriate forethought and discussion so the result is meaningful, actionable insights and ideas. And she can add depth because she’s been through it all herself – branding, segmentation, strategy, automation, data, measurement, et. al. We met at the Financial Brand Forum in 2019 and as someone who was new to banking, I made a point to follow and engage her. She’s worth following!
