We all face challenges in our work. Whether you are a leader in an organization, an independent consultant, or acting in any other role, it can often be useful to get an outside perspective when faced with a pressing or ongoing challenge.

At CBODN, we know that our members each possess a unique and diverse set of personal and professional experiences. In CBODN’s Peer Consulting Group (formerly known as the "Mastermind Series"), we invite you to join our members and tap into the collective wisdom, curiosity, and experiences that our community of practitioners offers. By attending, you will trade ideas and learnings across a variety of organizational disciplines and career situations.

• For highly seasoned consultants and professionals, consider this a rich opportunity to pass on your hard-earned wisdom to other professionals who may be walking a similar path.

• For new consultants and professionals, consider this as a safe avenue to develop your consulting muscles by bringing thoughtful curiosity and fresh perspectives.

• For anyone with a challenge or obstacle in their work (that is all of us!), consider this a valuable resource to become “un-stuck” in your thinking or to find a new idea or direction forward.

The Peer Consulting sessions take place each month with a new group of participants each session. During Peer Consulting events, we will use a modification of the Wise Crowds Liberating Structure to form small groups, identify a "client" to present a current challenge, and invite the other members in the group (or "crowd") to ask questions and offer suggestions while bringing inquiry, experience, and unique experiences. 

For anyone interested in attending, you are fully welcome! Even if you do not have a pressing challenge you are ready to discuss, we encourage you to participate in supporting other members and contributing to the valuable discussions and learning.
