🟢 Pro Tip: Want better meetings? Start with wins.

Way back in my early days of doing marketing with international friends through ESL (English Second Language), one of them asked:

“Have you ever heard of Mastermind Meetings?”

She broke it down for me—how the group takes turns tackling challenges, how the "Hot Seat" works, and most importantly:

“You always start with Win Reports.”

What’s a Win Report?

Exactly that. After solving a problem, you share the win with the group.

At the time, I didn’t realize how powerful this would be. But now? It’s a staple.

Here’s how it works—and why it’s a game-changer.

🔁 Mastermind Meeting Format

1. 1. Start with Win Reports (5–10 mins)

   Small or big, every win gets airtime.

   
   

   “Fixed a recurring bug.”

   “Finally hit inbox zero.”

   “Thanks to last week’s tips, I got unstuck.”

   
   

2. Then, The Hot Seat (15 mins)

   One person shares a challenge. The group listens, offers insights, and helps carve a path forward.

   
   

3. Wrap it up with Reflection (5 mins)

   Capture takeaways and commit to next steps.
