**Polka Dot Powerhouse Members Only**

Have Struggles in your business or personal life? Need help achieving your big goal or thinking through an idea?

During our Mastermind, every attendee will have an equal amount of time to present a challenge she is facing in her business, and then she receives advice, support, introductions, and insights from the other attendees. The Polka Dot Mastermind meets monthly for 2 hours from 6PM – 8PM; during the 3rd Quarter, we will meet on the  2nd Monday of the month at Dot - Dr. Shelly O'Connor's Office - ABLE Wellness.  Mastermind sessions will be facilitated by a member of the Leadership Squad with a regular agenda.

*5 Guidelines for the Mastermind*

1) All intellectual property is free for the taking. Million dollar ideas are a dime a dozen, it's the action that brings that idea to fruition.

2) No drama! Personal squabbles with other members must be left at the door to ensure a productive and professional experience for all.

3) No storytelling, keep everything directly relevant to the challenge at hand. Attendees are invited to connect on a deeper level and share stories outside of the mastermind event.

4) No selling - we're here to help one another's businesses grow, not to pitch our own services.

5) Confidentiality - please understand that the challenges presented may be sensitive or private, and always ask permission of one another if you would like to share something from our event with someone who wasn't in attendance.

*Mastermind Format*

- 60-second introductions
- The announcement of time allotted per person
- Presentation of challenges:

Step 1) One Dot at a time presents her challenge/request to the group. (the Presenter)

Step 2) The rest of the members of the group have time to ask any CLARIFYING questions needed to better understand the challenge/request.

Step 3) The remainder and bulk of the allotted time are for the group to offer feedback, advice, etc. The Presenter may call on the other members individually, or open it up to a general discussion as per her preference.
