With Claudia we follow the Master Mind methodology in John Maxwell's courses. This methodology ensures that participants have already documented, read and even reflected on the topic prior to each session. In the group session, questions for greater group reflection are asked and everyone's experiences and opinions are heard. From these discussions, the emergence of a higher group knowledge can be seen in most cases, and stronger bonds of trust and friendship are created, which are very important in the process.
Napoleon Hill had already mentioned this term "Master Mind" before John Maxwell and this name most likely comes from there. John Maxwell quotes Napoleon Hill in several of his books. In short, the way Napoleon Hill uses this term is much deeper without needing to oppose what John Maxwell does with it.
We have all probably experienced the Master Mind, although it is incredibly difficult to explain. Napoleon Hill identifies the Master Mind with that energy or source of knowledge that we sometimes have the opportunity to access individually or as a group. In some cases, the Master Mind reveals itself to us because it simply wants to, giving us arguments for deep reflections or ideas of creativity for problem solving or simply surprising us with sparks of innovative ideas.
The crux of the matter is accessing the Master Mind when we want to and not necessarily when it wants to reveal something to us. That is, having the ability to cross that threshold at will and come into contact with that energy or network of higher knowledge that illuminates us. In the end, we want to be connected to the Master Mind as much as possible, to that feeling of perfection and far superior to ourselves.
As educators, Claudia and I experience when a group crosses this threshold and has access to the Master Mind, it can be in person or by digital means, the medium is not a limit for this experience. This type of energy does not need physical proximity to touch us. The feeling is special, the participants become deeper and more refined in their contributions and the facilitator, guide or coach has little to do to achieve this because the group itself has already accessed this right. It is a force far superior to any of its participants.
The previous step to reach the Master Mind and control its access is the prior preparation of the person involved or all those involved for the event; the task must be done. This special energy is not controlled by laziness or by doing just what is necessary. You have to want to go further. Thus, with your own drive and the energy of the Master Mind, momentum is achieved; in the midst of that energy, you or the group will become unstoppable.
I believe that John Maxwell seeks for all Master Mind participants to cross this threshold, however, he cannot control the way in which each one of them prepares for each session. Lucky are those who prepared and succeeded, they realized that the reward was worth 2 or 3 times the effort, it was quite an investment. I can only wish that you are connected to the Master Mind as many times as possible individually or as a group, for as long as possible, it is an experience that you always want to repeat.
