It’s time for Mastermind!

ICF Austin Mastermind is a signature program offered only to members of ICF Austin. It is an opportunity to build community with other coaches in our chapter while also gaining amazing feedback, encouragement and support in your coaching business.

What is Masterminding? 

Napoleon Hill coined the concept of the Mastermind Alliance in his classic book Think and Grow Rich.  He believed that a group of like-minded, achievement-oriented individuals could dramatically leverage each other’s success.

He says he learned about the Mastermind Principle from Andrew Carnegie, the richest self-made man at the time.  Carnegie said that both his wealth and success were due entirely to the Master Mind Process.  In essence, he is talking about the collective consciousness or the concept that “the sum of the whole is greater than its parts” or “two heads are better than one.”  So how about 4, 5 or 6 heads?

Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone were all members of a Mastermind Group.  This group of leaders knew they couldn’t create in a vacuum and they relied on each other for feedback, ideas and accountability.  They called themselves the Wayfarers.  They also controlled much of the industry in our country for many years.
