Erin Brenner and Katherine Kirk have each been in a small group of like-minded professionals for several years. Erin’s group started as a social group and quickly became a mastermind group, while Kath’s started out as an accountability group and is now shifting toward a mastermind group as its members’ experience has grown. These small groups offer editors a safe, supportive space where they can hash out ideas, bounce tricky problems off each other, gather resources, and borrow each other’s brilliance. Join us for a casual chat about how to set up your own group for success.
