Real Conversations. Real Progress. Real Results. A new kind of business mastermind — where learning from each other is only the beginning.
Join a select group of small business owners and managers for a focused mastermind session facilitated by three seasoned professionals:
Marina Plantz, Peter Lauria, and JD Woods, a trio of coaches and transformation leaders with deep experience in leadership, project delivery, and operational excellence.
💡Mastermind AND... The “AND” is where the magic happens.
You’ll spend a day with other small-business leaders from your local chamber or Rotary network tackling the real issues that slow growth, stress teams, or stall innovation. Then, over the next six weeks, your facilitators, Marina, Pete, and JD, help your cohort move from ideas to implementation.
You’ll get structured guidance, accountability check-ins, and project support to turn insights into outcomes.
“Small tweaks, big turns.”
Companies that apply Lean principles see an average 20–30% improvement in productivity within the first year.
Up to 70% of wasted effort in small businesses comes from unclear processes — not bad people.
Every hour saved by process clarity is an hour you can spend growing instead of firefighting.
🧩 Why It Works
- Collective Intelligence. You’re surrounded by people who’ve faced the same challenges — and found creative ways through them.
- Fractional Expertise. Gain access to the combined insight of a certified life coach, a project management professional, and a lean-six-sigma transformation leader — expertise that would normally cost thousands per week.
- Sustained Momentum. The six-week support period bridges the gap between inspiration and execution, ensuring that ideas don’t fade when the meeting ends.
- Shared Cost, Amplified Value. By participating as a group, you gain high-caliber consulting at a fraction of the cost — while building relationships that strengthen your business community.
“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”
39% of projects fail because of poor planning — not lack of effort.
Teams that use formal project frameworks are 2.5x more likely to hit deadlines and budgets.
PMI data shows that for every $1 billion invested, $109 million is wasted due to poor project performance.

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
Companies that prioritize employee engagement outperform competitors by 21% in profitability.
70% of change efforts fail because people don’t feel involved or supported — not because the plan was wrong.
A well-coached team is three times more likely to maintain improvements after the project ends.
