27 Feb Metamind 2014
February 27 – March 2, 2014 and May 15-18, 2014
The MetaMind is a mastermind and network for those of us who teach teachers, coach coaches, train entrepreneurs – and for technologists who build software tools for gurus and entrepreneurs.
The main format of the MetaMind will be intimate breakout and small-group mastermind discussions on key growth, product, marketing, training, scaling, culture and lifestyle topics. We will also have several high-impact 5-20 minute technology demos and “innovation shares.”
Each part of the MetaMind will be organized to connect you to new innovations, collaboration partners, insights to improve your lifestyle, methods to build your business… and leveraged ways to impact the world.
::: Diversity Is Key To Collaborative Innovation :::
The MetaMind is an exercise in building collaborative tribe. In this case, a very high level tribe – to work together on the common mission of adapting to and mastering the coming next-level knowledge-work economy and environment.
One of the keys to building an “adaptive group mind” is diversity.
The insights that have given me the biggest leg-up in my life and career have not typically come from the business and marketing gurus. They’ve come from the evolutionary psychologists… the artists… the software architects… the designers… the spiritual adepts… the relationship and intimacy experts… the esoteric philosophers … the musical virtuosos… they’ve come from unexpected “left field” domains.
You probably saw Steve Jobs’ talk to the Stanford graduating class, where he discussed “dropping in” on a calligraphy class in college… which eventually led to the inspiration to design beautiful type on the Macintosh computer. This is the sort of generative cross-pollination that leads to real sparks of creative innovation.
The MetaMind is a place where you will meet new Meta Gurus and collaboration partners. Of course, there will be business, marketing and information experts that you already know attending. But one of the key objectives of this program is that most of the people you meet will be new, and they will be immediately valuable to you – in useful ways that will surprise all of us.
In addition to many of the most successful information, coaching, marketing and technology gurus from dozens of vertical markets, I’m also inviting scientists, psychologists, designers, business growth gurus, philosophers, artists, spiritual teachers… and many others… who all operate at a meta level in their worlds.
I’m serious about this idea that “diversity is key to innovation” – and the MetaMind is all about the kind of creative diversity that leads to insight, breakthrough and transformation for each and all of us.
::: The Diffusion Of Innovation :::
For the MetaMind, I’m optimizing first for high value exchange – for the sharing of and “diffusion of innovations” through the group.
The small group discussions will be designed to put you into contact with, and have meaningful discussions with, as many others as possible (we’re designing a piece of technology to optimize the groups and to minimize redundancy in groups).
::: An Inspiring Environment :::
For the MetaMind, we’re at one of the nicest hotels in Miami, with a diverse set of meeting environments that are perfect for this group’s collaborative work. Since we’re doing many different types of group meetings, this space allows us the flexibility we need and the inspiring environment to have our biggest breakthroughs together.
All of your meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) are covered in the price – for the entire event (you’re responsible for your own travel and hotel). Please contact Ashley once you register, and she’ll get you the link to register for the event hotel with our special group rate.
::: Dates :::
The MetaMind is happening Friday-Sunday, February 28th – March 2nd, 2014. We will also have a social meet-and-greet on Thursday evening, February 27th for a few hours (this is optional, but definitely come and register early, meet everyone, and start networking on Thursday evening).
By the way: Keep in mind that this is a great time of year to be heading down to Miami, and a perfect excuse to get out of town… hang out somewhere glamorous and fun… and have your business pay the tab (disclaimer: I am not an accountant, and this isn’t financial advice, but I believe you can write this one off!).
