Mastermind Group
The mastermind group concept was one of my favorites of the class. I thoroughly enjoyed everyone on my team and felt like we had really great chemistry when it came to brainstorming ways we could improve as a group. In addition, our sessions proved to be some of the best ways to pitch ideas and gain insightful feedback that has allowed me to improve my ideas and gain a stronger understanding of those course concepts that were more ambiguous or vague. As a MMG we did several cool things. First, we were inspired from the roots of the C4 to brainstorm and create our weekly routine breakers. Although this wasn't a MMG C4 project, it included aspects of it such as the "More Statement". We also recorded our HBDI and DISC profiles on a shared document to understand our styles and how they played out with the other styles and preferences in our MMG. This document has been one of the most helpful as I've been able to really understand the strong suits of each member. Laura: A robust organizer with an impressive (an appreciated) knack for getting tasks done. In order to be successful she needs to be organized and scheduled and that translated over to our MMG in an awesome way with her emails and Google doc organization. She keeps an open mind and I marvel at her organization and management skills. Turner: An avid risk taker who has the smallest VOJ I've ever witnessed in a human being to date. He's great in team environments and strives for excellence. Turner's been working on being less controlling and I think he's done a good job because I never saw an over-bearing side to him. David: A logical, balanced person who uses his natural leading tendencies to work very well with teams. Although ambiguity can be a struggle, this class and having a resource like the MMG has helped him a lot. Strengthening his empathetic skills is a focal point for improvement moving forward.
