I had the privilege of attending a two-day Executive Mastermind series on Transformational Leadership with Dr. Mike Smith and Rich Baron. It was an incredible opportunity to be at the table engaged in deep thought and active (and very vulnerable) dialogue with other amazing and accomplished professionals.
It meant getting really clear, amplifying critical thinking, and harnessing potential. Self mastery, aligning goals, and being able to use all of that for the greater good of leading others after putting on my own oxygen mask. We broke through all kinds of psychological barriers together! 🔥
One of my biggest takeaways was a reaffirmation that culture really is key and it starts with getting really clear with yourself. Be part of creating a great one!

I had the opportunity to spend two days with Mike and Rich in the Spring TRANSFORM Leadership Workshop. I went into it not really knowing what to expect. My thought was that it was going to be something around some certain techniques - some leadership jiu jitsu skills and techniques that I could take away and pull out when necessary. I wasn't ready to go deep. I wasn't ready to examine my personal life and career in deep and thought-provoking ways. I wasn't expecting to have to "work" in those two days.

The two days were filled with personal discovery. We all got in the muck together and shared our vulnerabilities. This openness led to drafting our personal core purpose statements; and that led to talking through high value targets and how to apply them in our lives both as a people and as professionals. It was an extraordinary time. I left after each day completely exhausted by the work we put in and achieved.

This course would be worthwhile to individuals - whether they are individual contributors or designated leaders. It also would be incredibly valuable for leadership teams to participate in together. I can see how the course could unify a leadership team and inspire them to be the best they can be as well as to "Protect the Patch". I highly recommend this course, Dr. Mike Smith and Rich Baron. Excellent work, and even better people. Thank you.

I recently attended a Mastermind seminar led by Rich Baron and Dr. Mike Smith, and it was a truly transformative experience for me. Not only did it significantly impact my personal life, but it also provided a valuable opportunity to enhance my leadership skills. Rich and Dr. Mike are true experts in their field, and I am grateful for the chance to learn from them. With the insights gained from the Mastermind seminar, I am now developing and refining my Core Purpose Statement, which will enrich both my personal and professional life. Thank you, Mastermind!

Doc and Rich's mastermind was an incredible experience. When I first arrived, I anticipated discussions on leadership strategies and productivity. While these topics were covered, I was reminded of an essential truth: leadership begins on a personal level. This is the core message that Doc and Rich impart so effectively: we can only improve others once we have aligned our personal lives. Throughout the course, we engaged in reflection and journaling to uncover our inner direction. While it's always inspiring to have a big "aha" moment from a speaker, the most profound answers often lie within ourselves. Doc and Rich excel at facilitating the discovery of these meaningful answers deep within. I am deeply grateful for their example of leadership and the incredible insights I gained towards becoming a better leader.

I attended the April session of Mastermind with a couple of my colleagues. We were fortunate to get some up close and personal training from Rich Baron and Dr. Mike. This Mastermind opened my eyes to be better both personally and professionally! I would highly recommend working with these two, they know what they are talking about!

Dr. Mike Smith is without question one of the world's top executive coaches and speakers. Dr. Mike, or Doc as we know and love him, has a massive heart, incredible passion to make a real difference in his clients' lives, and he combines these amazing attributes with deep authenticity, high intellect, and a dynamic and engaging personality. The result? A great coach, teacher, leader, and person!
