August Mastermind Meeting Tomorrow!

Yes, I know it's September

Hello everyone!

Thank you for all your patience, understanding, and compassion with my postponing the August meeting to this week due to Covid. I would love to report that I am over it, but our unexpected, unwanted guest has decided to stick around despite our best efforts to evict it.

Still, I’m better than I was last week and this week’s meeting is happening!

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, this meeting will follow a different format than what we’ve done in the past.

We’ll begin the meeting as we always do, with an open forum for participants to share what’s working, general questions, wins, and requests.

Then, we’ll divide into breakout rooms. The number of breakout rooms will depend on the number of participants, but the goal is to create a small group for which to get ideas or feedback about something, anything, that you would like to process through with a group.

Many of you offered brilliant suggestions for how to make this work and I’m so grateful! Here’s what I’d like to try for this meeting:

1. Come to the meeting with something you would like feedback about or questions you have about anything Substack or food writing related.

2. What are you struggling with right now? What do you need some perspective about? What ideas are you looking for? Where do you need some encouragement or inspiration?

3. When it’s your turn to speak in your small group, share whatever you like with the group and ask for their help/ input/ feedback/ encouragement.

Then, we’ll all come back to the main meeting space and have the opportunity to share any insights or ideas that came up in our small group with the larger group.

The breakout rooms is an experiment, and we’ll see what we think of them and if it’s something we want to do again. Deal?
