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.

What are your obstacles telling you?

Reading Time: < 1 minute You’ve heard all of the cliches about how “obstacles are the way”. Or that they are “the frightening things we see when we take our eyes off the goal”. Nice platitudes, but not all that

My mantra when life gets hard

Reading Time: 2 minutes The old saying “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” gets trotted out all too often when someone is going through a hard time. I don’t think it’s particularly useful. It’s trite and can come
