CBODN Mastermind Session
We all face challenges in our work. Whether you are a leader in an organization, an independent consultant, or acting in any other role, it can often be useful to get an outside perspective when faced with a pressing or ongoing challenge.
At CBODN, we know that our members each possess a unique and diverse set of personal and professional experiences. In CBODN’s Mastermind Series, we invite you to join our members and tap into the collective wisdom, curiosity, and experiences that our community of practitioners offers. By attending, you will trade ideas and learnings across a variety of organizational disciplines and career situations.
-
For highly seasoned consultants and professionals, consider this a rich opportunity to pass on your hard-earned wisdom to other professionals who may be walking a similar path.
-
For new consultants and professionals, consider this as a safe avenue to develop your consulting muscles by bringing thoughtful curiosity and fresh perspectives.
-
For anyone with a challenge or obstacle in their work (that is all of us!), consider this a valuable resource to become “un-stuck” in your thinking or to find a new idea or direction forward.
The Mastermind series takes place each month with a new group of participants each session. During Mastermind events, we will use a modification of the Wise Crowds Liberating Structure to form small groups for the opportunity to present your challenge for the other members in the group to ask questions and offer suggestions, OR to participate as a member of the crowd by participating in the format and bringing inquiry, experience, and your unique experiences.
For anyone interested in attending, you are fully welcome! Even if you do not have a pressing challenge you are ready to discuss, we encourage you to participate in supporting other members and contributing to the valuable discussions and learning.

Important Registration Note, PLEASE READ:
Mastermind Sessions find the most success when working in small groups. To facilitate this, we will limit the number of attendees to a maximum of 10 participants. Anybody who signs up after the first ten spots will be added to a waitlist for the event.
If you sign-up and then find that you are unable to attend, please let us know by emailing admin@cbodn.org and cc’ dkading030@outlook.com. It’s no problem! Life happens. But we will provide your seat to the next member of our community on the waitlist and ensure a fruitful session for attendees.
Attended Before?
We have been facilitating Mastermind Sessions at CBODN for the past two years, with dozens of participants acting as “clients” and getting support with their challenges. While we love supporting members through their challenging moments, we’d also love to hear about what happened next in the story! Did you make progress? What role (if any) did the Mastermind experience play in supporting you with your next move?
If you have participated as a client in a past session and are willing to share, please consider using the collection form https://forms.gle/BUPp2fKrJjF5UHMK9.
