This was interesting, thanks! I haven’t heard of Mastermind Groups before but in general, I’m excited about trialling more peer-support interventions. This is the approach I took with UChicago EA’s career planning program,* which was in turn inspired by microsolidarity practices. I think these interventions provide a useful alternative to the more individual-focused approaches such as 1:1s, 80k career advising, and one-off events.
*It’s worth nothing that this one iteration did update me towards , “selection is important,” which seems similar to what Steve Thompson is saying—not because I didn’t think attendees got value out of it, but because I felt I wasn’t creating as much impact as I hoped.
