It was always going to be fun creating our vision boards, but when music, wine and a whole lot of laughter was added to the mix it turned positively therapeutic! 

Judith led us through the process by first inviting us to reflect on or goals and getting very specific about our priorities. The discussions were insightful in themselves and helped clarify things already. 

The next step is to trust our intuition when going through the images an without overthinking Strat to gather what resonates the most. 

It was mostly laughter from there!

Here are a few impressions from the session:
"I’m laughing all over again looking at the pictures. Thank you so much for holding this session for us, it was wonderful."

"Judith - yesterday was great! Thank you very much for the organisation. I had a lovely time with all of you and feel inspired! I come out of this with all the fun vibes and I look forward to seeing it come to life!"

"Thank you so much for this fun evening and what a pleasure it has been...

I wrote a post for LI, all on my own 😂, then ran it through Chat GPT with the question:

“Does this add value to the LI community?”

Convinced I was going to get a

“Yes, good job Mandy.”
Pat on the back.

Obviously that didn’t happen.

Here is what it told me instead

Your post has a reflective and personal tone, but its value to the LinkedIn (LI) community depends on its alignment with professional insights, leadership lessons, or business takeaways. Here’s an evaluation: 

### **Strengths:** 

✅ **Authenticity**

✅ **Emotional Intelligence**

✅ **Conflict Resolution**

### **Areas for Improvement:** 

🔹 **Lack of clear professional tie-in**

🔹 **Clarity & Structure** – The message meanders a bit.

🔹 **Less Defensive Tone** – While your response is measured, some phrases can still come across as defensive.

### **Does It Add Value to LinkedIn?** 

**Partially.**

Great! I meander and I’m defensive 🙊

I suppose Chat GPT has just become my psycologist ...

🚀 What a Night! It was a Full Bär at our SpeedNetworking event 🎉

The room was buzzing with energy as entrepreneurs and professionals came together for an evening of meaningful connections. It was the first time we implemented a SpeedNetworking concept and it was a hit! Laughter, insights, and unexpected discoveries filled the air! Our ears were ringing slightly from the noise levels, but the vibe was energising. 

Phones at the ready for a quick QR code scan to stay connected in the LinkedIn world and then the bell was ringing for people to move on to a new partner!

I loved this comment "Thanks again for organising Great opportunity to meet & greet and network like crazy 🤪"

People left inspired by the stories they heard, pleased and the unexpected common ground that was found very quickly and, and excited about the new connections made. Collaborations sparked, ideas flowed, and networks were expanded!

Triana is a passionate Art Historian and Literature lover looking to create human connections above all.

She is a part of the "OMM" online MasterMind  and has been a member since January 2025. 

One of the things that draws Triana to her field is how artwork can awaken emotions and become objects closely linked to a family or art institutions history. There is an element of identity carried from the artist to the owner making them intricately connected.

As Art Advisor she provides consulting services on cataloging strategies for collectors and software companies in art. Her areas of focus include collection management, acquisitions, art handling, and conservation, ensuring collections are aligned with current standardised practices.

"I definitely believe that not only knowledge and skills are necessary for success, but the most important is following one's intuition."

💙 Throwback to Where It All Began

Back in September 2023, we launched the B-inspired Community! 

💡 6 mastermind members in our very first group called "The Originals"
☕ No fixed space (just cafés and homes)

I was sure there was a way to break business isolation and go beyond the surface networking to build real connections that allow us to stay motivated and keep moving forward.

We all knew the feeling—meeting people, having a nice chat… but never truly going deeper. We wanted more:

✅ Open and supportive conversations
✅ Diverse thinking and collective intelligence 
✅ Accountability

Our first discussion was to create our community guidelines. It became clear that we were going for a culture of trust, kindness, honestly and collaboration. And what an amazing journey it’s been! 💫

Since then we've come so far and seeing what this community has turned into 18 months down the line, I still feel it is aligned and on track when I think back to that first meeting and the culture we wanted ...

Imagine having a clear, personalised strategy to leverage your existing your network, without feeling awkward, pushy, or overwhelmed.
That’s exactly what you’ll get in a Leverage My Network session, included in all Mastermind memberships.

🚀 The "Master the art of deal-making" workshop with Eric Fingerhut was highly insightful!

So many different scenarios were covered – salary negotiations, business deals, awkward chats with management and team members, negotiating with your children and spouses… you name it!

We walked away with new tools and fresh insights on how to lean into our next negotiations.

Here are a few of the things we learnt:

✅ Prepare for uncomfortable negotiations by carefully evaluating the perspective of your conversation partner as well as your own. 

🤝 Do a power analysis: Who has the power in what format? Level up the playing ground and be aware of what you are bringing to the table not just what you need!

🎯 Clarify your own goals and the best, realistic and worst case scenarios possible

💡 What's your "BATNA" (Best Alternative to a negotiated agreement) -> if this does not work, then what? Find the creative trade-offs, and boost your confidence going into it. 

Everyone walked away with fresh insig...
