Strolling around the blogosphere I stumbled upon (once again) Phil Gerbyshak's amazing blog Make It Great! (If you have a chance please pop on over and check it out!) Phil's great post, Surround Yourself with GREAT People! reminded me of the term "mastermind group". It also reminded me of how important it is to surround yourself with people you admire and learn from. (Thank you, Phil!)

This in turn made me think of some amazing coaches which I am fortunate to consider a part of my mastermind group. The following individuals are not only great friends, but excellent coaches who have supported me in becoming a better coach myself.

Kammie K
Cassi C
Pamela R
Amy R

I am tremendously grateful to each and every one of them...for they are the bright lights that truly make coaching an amazing profession.

Now it's your turn...

Think about the people that surround you. Are they positive influences or negative ones? Do they support you in moving forward or hold you back?

My wish for you is to be surrounded by the most amazing, successful, loving people possible. You deserve nothing less and if that is not the case at this time, please ponder this question, what are you willing to do in order to surround yourself with AWESOME people?

That could look like removing the negative nellies to make room for more positive folks. It could involve joining a cool networking group, joining a gym, getting involved in a community activity. I encourage you to think about the people you admire most and invite them to be a member of your mastermind group! Remember, you have more to gain than you do to lose.

Until next time, please be well...

Pam
