Personal Mastermind: What we’re reading

Reading Time: 2 minutes

I’ve been participating in and running Personal Mastermind book clubs since early 2021, and they have been such wonderful experiences.

Not only are they a great way to learn about and read excellent books, they’re also a great forum for discussion and building relationships with fantastic people.

The Personal Mastermind format

Each Personal Mastermind group is made up of people from a range of industries and locations. We typically cap each group at around 10 people, so that everyone gets a chance to speak up and share their thoughts.

Each year, we tackle five books in-depth, spending two months on each book. We dig into each book chapter by chapter, and meet weekly to discuss what we’ve read, what we’re thinking, what we’re learning, and what we’re working on in response to what we’ve read.

Our sessions are always fun, thought-provoking, and inspiring. And everyone who joins a Personal Mastermind group comments on how much richer their reading experience is when they have a chance to chew over the ideas, principles, and concepts with others. Each member brings their unique perspective and contribution, seeing things that others haven’t, and offering their experiences and insights to broaden and deepen our discussions.

Books we're reading next

In 2023, we’re focusing on books written by women, which help us shift our mindsets towards change, possibility, and savouring all the good things in life, even as we live through the inevitable ups and downs.

I’m always on the lookout for excellent books to add to our Personal Mastermind curriculum. If you know of (or perhaps have written!) a fantastic book that will help us on our personal and professional development journeys, send me an email. Or drop me a message over on LinkedIn.
