WHY INVESTING IN YOUR EXECUTIVES MAKES SENSE
Investing In professional development for your executive leadership helps retain and grow the talent in your company. These are the leaders of your brand, and they make a tangible impact on your company success.
HOW OUR EVENTS ARE DIFFERENT
Bring Your Challenges, Leave With Action Steps AND Community
The Hello Mastermind in-person events are designed to help Franchise Executives DISCONNECT with day-to-day tasks and RECONNECT to big-picture planning, solving challenges, and nurturing executive community.
The Mastermind Structure
Our structure is a combination of networking, roundtable discussions, and bringing challenges to solve and workshop with your peers. We choose a theme for each event that focuses our conversations for the roundtables and workshops.
Locations & Experiences
We choose locations & activities that allow for disconnection from daily tasks, and reconnection to the bigger issues and action steps that need to be made in your role.
Collaboration & Community
We spend a lot of the Masterminds doing deep work and workshops, but a lot of the action steps and value you leave with is from the conversations during dinners, activities, and organic connection with your peers.
Event Pricing & Access
All-Access members have registration, meals, and activities included in their annual cost. For non-members, there are a limited number of tickets available for purchase separately. Hotel and travel are not included.
β€œThe quality of your life is a direct reflection of the expectations of your peer group. Choose your peers wisely.” - Tony Robbins
