How Does a Mastermind Work?
BB Mastermind is a 6-month-long, invitation-only leadership laboratory. Select participants join an exclusive group of successful executives whose sole aim is to lift their leadership game and help their peers do the same. It is a forum for fearless experimentation and an incubator of fresh approaches and ideas!
Members engage in powerful strategic conversations with their colleagues. They have access to a private, online Mastermind community dedicated to the exchange of tested leadership wisdom, cutting-edge neuro-science research, and instant problem-solving.
