Mastermind Influence Club
(MIC) 2010
Over the last seven years, I've been blessed to help my corporate clients influence massive change and evolution through their organisations. Some of my results for clients include:
Opening up hitherto 'impossible' markets & territories
Turning around mission-critical but failing business units within FTSE 100 companies
Helping senior leaders find the 'edge' to inspire people, shareholders and clients
Being officially recognised at a national level for their influencing excellence
Purely in financial terms, this has resulted in over €30million in additional bottom-line returns.
And that's great! But I realised that what really brought me deep satisfaction was hearing the many stories that would come back to me through email and telephone from the individuals, rather than the organisations. Stories of people's personal lives being transformed as a result of working either with me or those I've worked with. New businesses set up, momentous decisions made, dream jobs secured, promotions offered, control in relationships reestablished and 'joie de vivre' regained. (And hearing from people I chatted with on flights throughout the world, who emailed me back six months later to say, "Thanks! What a difference your advice made!") To cite but a few examples.
Close friends would often hear me talk about this as the 'salt' that made my work taste that little bit more mouth-watering, bringing out the deeper flavours of the dish. And as much as I love my organisational work (and I do genuinely love it), it began to dawn on me that why I do it is for the individuals that make up those groups.
I can't avoid it - I'm a sucker for the individual success story where the really important boulders in life transform; goals and purpose; family, health; relationships; finances; confidence & self-esteem; community; spirituality and so on.
I began to realise that individuals within organisations were being sufficiently affected by the experiences of us working together, that they would carry the learning, skills, strategies and thinking over into their personal life, often to dramatic effect, pass it on to families and friends and use it within their communities to drive positive change.
After many requests and suggestions for me to work with partners, children, bosses (!) and community groups about using influence to drive positive change, I'm finally ready.
And I've designed what I believe with certainty to be a one of a kind, world-class experience only for people focussed on becoming masters of influencing their world and the worlds of others.
The form is a private influence club. Limited to a maximum of 20 people. A carefully selected group of high-calibre individuals (by invitation only) that's small enough to build close bonds and connections yet big enough to offer diversity, challenge, opportunities and connections for club members.
Your private club will officially last 6 months. Unofficially, who knows? It's hard to say how permanent the connections you'll make will be over the course of your lifetime.
During these fascinating 6 months, you will receive a masterful blend of different learning media;
Face-to-face group training
Group training telephone calls
Personalised email / telephone coaching
DVDs of each training event
A comprehensive, full colour reference manual,
packed full of models, strategies, research and techniques you could spend a lifetime and a lifetime's fortune to acquire.
Your training will be fast-paced, intensive and high-challenge, including predetermined influence field-tasks at each stage of learning. The club is not for the half-hearted or uncommitted.
Before the club starts, I'll personally help you get clear on your primary goal and two smaller ancillary goals by telephone. We'll determine how you're going to track and measure your progress and decide what multiple you want to increase (or decrease) your chosen measure by; at least 200% (to 500+% for the more daring amongst you).
Put simply:
"What IS it you want? I and the club get you THAT."
As part of your club membership, you'll be assigned a Strategic Partner (SP) from within the group: someone matched to you who will cheer you on, challenge you and coach you towards your outcomes throughout the six months. This mean you'll also be an 'SP' to someone else in your private club. This is a position of honour, caring & responsibility. Because to be an extraordinary influencer, you must take an extraordinary interest in others, of course.
Certain learning, experiential in nature, can only be done face-to-face in a group setting. Beware DVDs, audio products and e-books that claim otherwise. Life can't be learned from just a CD, it an experience. Influence is the same. With this in mind, you will attend 5 intensive days of breakthrough training. This will be one day every month.
In each 1-day intensive structured training, you will learn directly with me, a nationally award-winning influence trainer. In each of our training events you will absorb the specific mindset, skills and strategies of world-leading influencers in a structured, yet flexible, open and playful environment.
The content you'll master will be mainly from four diverse yet complementary fields:
Social (and general) Psychology
NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)
Neuroscientific research
Life (i.e. 'what works' - no current validation)
Why such a diverse? I loathe dogma and passionately encourage interdisciplinary learning and research. It's a 'thrival' of the fittest world and no single field has a strong enough claim to the truth.
At the end of the 6 months, not only will you be a model of influence for others but you will have a unique and official accreditation to your name: the 'NLP iPrac' (Influence Practitioner) officially recognised by the Society of Neuro Linguistic Programming. As the designer and originator of the qualification, I am the only person worldwide who can accredit you as an NLP iPrac with the SNLP, the worldwide governing body in NLP.
In addition, you will receive a DVD of each workshop to use as a reference or 'deepener', which means even if something calamitous were to happen and you missed the workshop, you'd have access to the material anyway.
In between workshops, our medium of training will be group intensive training telephone calls. (Imagine half a day's training tightly packed into an hour). Each structured call will last one hour. We'll focus on one powerful new theme per call, with an influence field-task at the end for you to experiment with in the weeks that follow. You will receive an audio recording of each call shortly after the event to revisit as necessary.
Some tasks will be simple. Some more outrageous. All will embed your learning, skills and strategies, neurophysiologically.
In between calls and workshops, life goes on for you! You'll do what you normally do, only better. You'll notice things that, previously, were invisible to you. You'll observe moments of opportunity to move people and things in your chosen direction. You'll experiment, make fabulous mistakes and hone your skills while you notice people very quickly start to respond favourably to you in a new, more visceral and 'pumped-up' way.
You may also be amongst those in the group who 'go large'. Start a new business venture or life adventure, perhaps. And once a week you'll check in with your 'SP' to share, cheer, challenge and learn what's happening with the two of you as a result of your transformational learning. Simple. And once a week you'll have the opportunity to email me with any questions, challenges, concerns or dares that life brings. I guarantee you a succinct, helpful reply within 24-hours of receiving your email.
Furthermore, at the 3-month mark, you and I will check in personally again by telephone to review your goals, measures and progress. This will be an important time to celebrate, recalibrate if needed and readjust where necessary for the next stage of the journey.
At the end of six months, you'll be on your way to influence mastery (a place to travel towards, which, hopefully we will never reach, since that would signify an end to our learning).
In honour of this, two things will happen. First, we will use the last group training call to share thoughts on our 6-month journey together: what were the biggest successes for you? What have been your transformational insights along the way? What will you do next?
Second, you will be presented with a final task. A top secret whole-group project which will utilise all of your collective savvy absorbed along the way, along with a celebratory club party that raises money for the charity Peace One Day - "a non-profit organisation committed to raising awareness of Peace Day, 21st September, an annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence" and an amazing model of influencing people, corporations, governments and media.
At the graduation party, you may choose to network with executives from well-known global brands, receive your graduation certificate, eat, drink, be merry while generating a considerable amount of money & support for a worthwhile cause.
After these six months, your life may never be the same again. Or it may be identical. The choice will, by that point, firmly be yours to make.
Because at the heart of being a master influencer lies the freedom to make of life what you will, when you want, with what you have...
Most importantly, all of this carries an ironclad lifetime guarantee of satisfaction. If, at any point during the 6-months or the course of your natural life, you feel that you've not obtained genuine value for money from the experience, you will receive a 100% refund plus keep all materials and learning as a gesture of goodwill to you. It's no risk, seismic reward.
To ensure you don't waste your valuable time, and to make certain that I create the right kinds of energy, synergy and personality mix in the club, I invite you to fill out a short application form prior to both of us decide that huge value will be added all ways within this club. This way, we can both make sure that it'll be worthwhile following up by phone, reading schedules and talking turkey. Because it's a significant investment of everyone's time, energy and finances. My thanks in advance for completing it with as much specificity and humour as you can! (Why? You write one; I read many!) And now it's over to you.
To your being impeccable in influence,
