Our client Joe Reardon from the Columbia MO office and Coach Joe brainstormed on the several months ago. Joe Reardon will be our 2nd chair in the group. You want a seat because you have reach a level of success that few attain at Stifel. As a leader, you need a peer group and a confidential place to brainstorm, strategize, and troubleshoot.
Here are the primary reasons to join:
- Peer Accountability: Sharing your goals with a group creates a "public compromise" that significantly increases your likelihood of taking action. Members check in on your progress, ensuring you don't let priorities slip amidst daily tasks.
- Collective Wisdom & Brainstorming: You gain access to a "think tank" of diverse perspectives. This helps you solve problems faster by tapping into others' trial-and-error, saving you time and money.
- Exponential Networking: Joining a group instantly expands your professional network. You gain not only the connections of the members themselves but often access to their entire networks as well.
- Safe Space for "Verbally Processing": Leadership can be isolating. Masterminds provide a confidential environment to process ideas, discuss fears like imposter syndrome, and receive honest, unbiased feedback.
- Thinking Bigger: Being surrounded by high achievers pushes you out of your comfort zone and inspires you to set "stretch goals" that you might have considered unachievable on your own.
- New Resources & Skills: Members often share specific tools, software, or best practices—such as marketing strategies or lead generation tactics—that aren't typically found in conventional training.
