EVER FEEL LIKE YOU ARE SPINNING YOUR WHEELS TRYING TO SOLVE AN ISSUE?
-:-
HOW VALUABLE WOULD IT BE FOR YOU TO HAVE A SOUNDING BOARD?
TC Dojo Masterminds
The TC Dojo Mastermind sessions are unique learning opportunities where members talk about real time issues they are solving and share ideas for possible solutions.
Like a virtual Birds of a Feather round table, the Mastermind group is a facilitated conversation among a small group of peers that focuses around the issues and challenges associated with technological challenges that affect documentation groups.
Like the hallway conversations between sessions at a conference, the mastermind group members come together to wrap their arms around topic and understand how to make it work in their unique situations.
Mastermind groups are Members-Only to encourage long-lasting, confidential relationships between group members. Members understand each other’s businesses and goals while still providing unique insight based on their own experience.
Everyone in the Mastermind Group works together to develop solutions. This collaborative approach provides an unmatched innovative method for solving problems.
Where members solve real-time problems and share ideas for possible solutions.
Success is no accident
Creative solutions come from making connections, seeing patterns.
Don't Go It Alone
Ever feel like you are spinning your wheels trying to solve an issue? How valuable would it be for you to have a sounding board?
Save Time and Effort
How much time, effort, and money is it costing you to keep struggling to learn how to implement, architect, and transform your content and your team by yourself?
Learn from experience
Chances are if you are facing something, someone has gone before you or they are in the same place.
Meet Virtually
With travel budgets down, you still need a place where you can network with peers and collaborate on best practices.
How it works
Our Mastermind groups have a limited membership so members can build long-lasting, trusted relationships. The roster doesn’t change from month to month. As a result, members can talk frankly about their challenges and get practical advice.
Discussions are moderated, so there is only one conversation and everyone gets to hear everyone else’s comments, insights, and needs. No one’s pitching, everyone is actively trying to help.
Each group has a dedicated forum to facilitate collaboration. Productive conversations can take place because group members have a chance to really get to know each other. Members understand each other’s businesses and goals while still providing unique insight based on their own experience.
Real recognizes real. Everyone works together to develop solutions. The collaborative approach of the Mastermind Group provides an unmatched innovative method for solving problems.
TC Dojo Mastermind groups meet once a month for an hour.
Learn from the mistakes of others…you can’t live long enough to make them all yourselves.
