Mastermind Group Starting on March 22

Here’s an opportunity to join an elite group of like-minded peers, who will support and foster your growth personally and professionally. The bonus of such a group is that you’re forming close relationships while serving each other in a way that only a close group can do.

If you’re not familiar with Mastermind, this model of support was created by Napoleon, author of Think and Grow Rich. As a result of this system, many who have followed the Mastermind principles have enjoyed success beyond what they could have accomplished on their own.

A Mastermind offers a combination of peer brainstorming, education, accountability and support in a group setting so that you can sharpen your business and personal skills. In other words, you have support to help you navigate through the sometimes murky water of personal and professional growth.

This Mastermind will be virtual, meeting weekly via a teleconference line, so there is no need to leave your home.

Limited to six people, there is no cost for members of East Bay Coaches.
