Last weekend I spent two days with my “mastermind group.” This is a group of peers that meets four times a year to share our ideas, resources, and to spur one another on in growing our businesses. I left our meetings with so much appreciation for our friendships and the depth of experience that I am privileged to tap into through this group. Our combined businesses cover the U.S. and our leadership experiences exceed 150 years (that’s a lot of mistakes to learn from along the way!) Our group is made up an electrical engineer turned organizational growth specialist, a consulting psychologist, a serial entrepreneur, a brilliant theoretical strategist, and me (still trying to figure out what I am!)
In a prior time, we may have viewed each other as competitors. Instead, now we recognize that we can learn a lot from each other and that those we serve can only be benefited by our relationships. One of the most enjoyable parts of each meeting is browsing through one another’s libraries (we rotate at our various businesses across the country). I always walk away remembering afresh the quote of Charlie “Tremendous” Jones – “You are the same person today you will be five years from now except for two things—the people you meet and the books you read.”
