In MasterMinds: What Do We Even Talk About?" — The Only Agenda You'll Ever Need

It's the question nobody wants to admit they're asking.

You've found your person. ....you've agreed to meet weekly.

And then it hits you:

What are we actually supposed to do for 90 minutes...?

This is the question that stops more masterminds before they start than almost anything else. People assume there's some secret format ....a professional agenda, ....a facilitator's guide, a curriculum they don't have.

There isn't. And that's the good news.

Here's the only structure you need for your first meeting, and honestly, for every meeting after that:

Start with wins. Each person shares one thing that moved forward since the last time you met.

It doesn't have to be big.

It just has to be real.

This anchors you in progress and sets the tone.

Then the real work: one challenge each. Each person puts one genuine problem on the table ....not a polished case study, the actual thing keeping them up at night.

The other person doesn't rush to fix it. They ask questions first. Good questions. The kind that help the person in the hot seat think more clearly than they could alone.

Close with a commitment.

Each person names one specific thing they will do before you meet again.

Not a goal.

Not an intention.

One action, with a deadline.

That's it. Wins, challenge, commitment.

You can run it in 60 minutes when you're two people.

It scales perfectly to five or six.

The magic isn't in the agenda.

It's in the repetition.

When you show up to the same structure week after week, something shifts.

You stop performing and start thinking out loud.
