Welcome to Mastering You, a group coaching mastermind for 6-10 experienced creators, leaders, entrepreneurs or solopreneurs who are committed to their ongoing professional and personal growth and to finding rich abundance in their lives.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Over 4 months starting in January, we’ll explore principles and practices that are foundational for operating at your highest level, both inside and outside of work. Based on years coaching hundreds of individuals committed to meaningful change, we’ve designed this group to dig into the ideas and approaches that have made the biggest impact in our clients’ quests for self-awareness, connection, meaning and joy.

The mastermind provides an opportunity to deepen your understanding of essential concepts and practices – vulnerability, responsibility, agreements, identity, balance, boundaries, and many more – that are both fascinating in their theory and highly applicable to day-to-day living and leading. Through a combination of teaching, coaching and breakouts, you will gain a refined sense of what mastery looks like in your work and life. Best of all, you will experience this learning and growth with the support of others on similar journeys of expansion, but coming from different mindsets and realms. 

We’ll meet under the guidance of two exceptional coaches (in our humble opinions) with years of experience supporting leaders, founders and entrepreneurs. Coach David Alport is a seasoned leader and entrepreneur who works with clients at the precipice of change in their work or life. He is an expert in supporting clients who are bringing powerful visions to life. Coach Kelby Kupersmid is a leadership development specialist and Professional Certified Coach who supports mission-driven leaders to get out of their own way and create greater success, fulfillment, and impact. He is a masterful leader of group experiences.

With David and Kelby’s support, you’ll be energized and inspired to live each day aligning your best “being” in support of your best “doing.” This is the true Master’s Game.

// The Program //

Structure

A 6-month engagement consisting of thirteen 90-minute group sessions, plus between-session exercises with others in your cohort. Sessions are moderated by coaches David Alport and Kelby Kupersmid and consist of a combination of leader talks and inspiration, laser coaching, breakout sessions for dyad/triad connection, and all-group Q&A/discussion. Each participant receives two private coaching sessions as well, prior to and after the 4-month mastermind.

Your Learning Journey

We kick off Mastering You with a deep-dive half day, focused on building group connection and trust. As a peer-coaching group, you will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to support each other in expanding perspectives, creating awareness, and generating insights. 

Next we’ll dive into the heart of Mastering You, spending each week exploring the core concepts that support achieving the things that matter most in your life and work. You’ll get clearer on what it is that you are trying to foster in life. You’ll get clearer on how you are getting in your own way (see “Breakthrough Opportunities, below). And you’ll learn skills and practices to push through your upper limits and make your full possibility real.

THE PRACTICES & PRINCIPLES WE’LL EXPLORE…

Mastering You is oriented around three overarching areas of Being and Doing.

Interpersonal/Leadership Practices
The joys and challenges of work and life are manifest in the ways we engage with others. We’ll dig into essential practices to support being at your best in all engagements.

• Vulnerability: The interpersonal practice essential for unlocking meaning, connection and joy

• 100% Responsibility: The necessary commitment that leads to true personal empowerment

• Agreements vs. Expectations: A useful distinction that underlies all thriving relationships

• Setting Boundaries: The lines that support healthy connection

• The Power of Story: The practice of embodying what is ahead, in the here and now
  

Self-Perception/Awareness
Even the most self-aware people have blind spots into who they are and how they are perceived. We’ll explore concepts to support you seeing who you really are and how you can operate in alignment with your best self.

• Light vs. Shadow Sides: The understanding of how our “shadow” selves can help us thrive

• Identity Traps: The recognition of how long-standing identities may no longer be serving us

• Your Essence: The qualities that define your most natural, authentic self, and how to come from that place.

• Zone of Genius: How to operate in the sweet spot of what you’re great at and what you love most

• Upper Limits: The ways we hold ourselves back can be slayed, if we know how to see them coming

• Vision/Motivation/Balance: The clarity and foundation for moving forward aligned with what matters most

Mindset Principles
Nothing is fixed and everything is filtered through our particular mindset. We’ll explore the importance of being flexible with the way you see things and being open and curious about how you can shift your mindset.

• Setting Intentions: The foundational practice for making every engagement the best it can be

• Gratitude: The simplest of practices for managing everything else.

• Scarcity/Abundance: The place where you’re coming from, and how to choose on the right outlook.

• Living Your Future State Now: The practice of embodying what is ahead, in the here and now.

• Slowing Down/Observing: The practice of speeding up by slowing down

• Power of the Reframe: The essential ability to see the one thing in more than one way

// outcomes: what to expect //

As with everything in life, the more effort you put in the more likely you are to see the results you seek. We promise that your committed participation in Mastering You will lead you to …

• Deeper understanding of who you are at your core: Your essence, your gifts, your shadows, and your purpose. 

• Clarity on what matters most: Only you can define what matters, but doing so requires asking hard questions and making choices of what to keep and what to release.

• Understanding how you’re limiting yourself: Everyone has upper limits … those self-imposed, often false beliefs that hold us back. We’ll help you see yours more clearly, the first step to breaking through.

• Powerful tools to build meaningful relationships: The know-how and courage to deepen connection with others in support of thriving relationships — both personal and professional.

• Network of peers: A cohort of similarly growth-minded leaders and doers who have come to understand you and are there to support your journey forward.

• Pride in yourself: The satisfaction that comes from showing up, meeting your commitment to yourself, playing full-out and placing achievement of your abundance front and center, knowing that this will allow you to be your best self whenever and wherever you show up.

// eligibility: IS this group right for yoU? //

Mastering You is for experienced and ambitious leaders and business owners who are looking to take their work and lives to the next level by exploring and playing with concepts and practices that are essential for great human relationships, healthy self-understanding and deeply meaningful and abundant lives.  Your title, industry or role is less important than the way you show up and your attitude towards growth and expansion.

The qualities we are seeking for group members:

• Rich Lived Experience: We define “midlife” as that time when you have a lot of living and working behind you, and more ahead.  Age is not the issue … experience is.  In order to learn from and play with others in this group, you will be bringing your rich experiences to bear, and your willingness to imagine an even more abundant future. 

• Commitment to playing full out: While learning and growing takes effort, we are committed to making this group a playful experience, anchored in the joy of discovering more of who you are. As long as you’re open to play and playing in full, this group is for you. 

• Openness to rethinking what you know: As we move along in life, our accumulated knowledge and experience serve us well. But they can also limit our ways of seeing and thinking. This group is for people who are excited to bring their earned wisdom … but equally excited to challenge what they know, think and feel in the quest for expansion. 

• Excitement about both giving and getting: Your decision to be in a mastermind should absolutely be anchored in your own goals and dreams. But the success of the group comes from a shared willingness to give and receive. If you’re committed to giving your brilliance, we promise you’ll get even more back!
