About Mastermind Sessions

About Mastermind Sessions

We’re bringing the very best agency minds together to solve your hurdles to achieving video success. Before each session, we’ll send you a survey on the challenges you want us to cover — then your coaches will be on-hand to drive the discussion and drill into the detail. You’ll hear from peers who have been there and done it, gain clarity and insight into what works (and what doesn’t), and come away feeling confident about your next actions and road to agency growth.

These sessions will feature:

  • Hot Seats: A challenge that a group member is experiencing is presented to the group. Through a series of questions around the challenge the group will establish potential solutions to help the member in the Hot Seat.
  • Gold Seats: One person shares a process or system that has accelerated the agency’s video progress.
  • Roundtables: Focusing on broader subjects, such as platforms, systems, barriers or enablers for the group.
