In this episode of the Healthcare Leadership Excellence Podcast, I’m joined once again by Shandy Welch. Today, we dive into a topic that shapes much of our work: mastermind groups.

We discuss how mastermind groups provide leaders with a space to connect, brainstorm, and support each other in a small, judgment-free setting. These groups bring together individuals from different industries, but their challenges often resonate with everyone. The diversity of perspectives is what makes them so powerful.

Shandy and I share a story from a recent cohort, where a CEO gained crucial insight from participants who weren’t at his executive level. This shows that leadership is about collaboration, not just titles, and how different viewpoints can help solve complex problems.

We also reflect on the origins of mastermind groups in Napoleon Hill’s The Law of Success. As Shandy notes, “We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with,” and these groups help us engage with high-level thinkers who elevate our growth.

Mastermind groups are more than passive learning—they challenge you to think differently. Participants often take the lead, sharing their expertise and offering new angles on familiar problems. This kind of dynamic interaction drives personal and professional growth.
