How is a Mastermind group better than one-to-one coaching?

Well, I’d say

Mastermind groups and one-to-one coaching are great together.

They are slightly different. If you have a big issue, a big problem, that’s absolutely personal and you definitely need to work very closely with someone, then one-to-one coaching is absolutely fantastic for that.

Within my Mastermind programs, I do a mix of one-to-one coaching to get people clear on their goals and to run through those bigger issues.

But where Masterminds far outstrip coaching is accountability.

To have a group of people that week-after-week, sometimes year-after-year, are there for you and see you achieving. They can re-orientate you if you wander away from your big goals or your whys, or you get caught up with stuff. They’ll lift you up and support you when things are tough. And we all have tough times, particularly if we’re together for a year or so.

And bear in mind, if you’re in coaching or in psychiatry, for years on end, you’d be like Woody Allen, lying on a sofa getting nowhere. Masterminds aren’t like that. It’s goal led. Each time I run a group, even if people are with me for years, we reset the parameters. We look at what the goals are, why people are there, and what we’re achieving. And the group is doing the work alongside you.

My groups are incredibly carefully curated and all Masterminds should be like that. You might want to check that yours is. But that careful curation means that you have people that are not only doing similar things, but they are also moving at a similar speed to you. And that means they understand. You can look across at someone and think, this is hard. This is tough.

And some of the very best coaching I’ve ever seen is within Mastermind groups.

And one of the places it also shows up is a client will be giving another Masterminder a fantastic, beautifully modulated piece of coaching. They’ll stop in the middle – and I see this so often – they’ll be giving this lovely piece of coaching they’ll stop and go ‘Oh, maybe I should do that in my business!’

Because we can see what other people need and where they need help in a way that we can’t see in ourselves.

You can’t read the label inside the jar. And that’s where a Mastermind really makes the difference.

And if you have questions about your own business come along to one of my regular Q&A sessions. There’s a box below, just drop your email in there. And it would be lovely to see you.
