Starts Saturday, August 15, 2026 | 10:00 AM ET | Live & Virtual via Zoom
A 5-week live mastermind based on the book by John C. Maxwell where your biggest setbacks become your highest ROI yet. Facilitated by Dr. Diana Kenoly, Maxwell Leadership Executive Partner.
The Problem & The Promise
Failure Isn't Your Enemy. Wasted Failure Is.
Every leader fails. The difference between those who plateau and those who rise is what they do next.
Most professionals bury their failures — they hide them, rationalize them, or replay them on a loop. But high-impact leaders do something different: they mine their failures for the lessons, the leverage, and the growth that nothing else can teach.
That's the return on failure — and in five weeks, you'll learn exactly how to earn it.
Inside this mastermind, we'll walk through John C. Maxwell's proven framework together — live, in a small cohort, with real conversation and real application to the setbacks you're facing right now.
What You'll Master
- Reframe failure as your most underused leadership asset
- Apply Maxwell's framework to bounce forward not back
- Build an inner identity that setbacks can't shake
- Lead, decide and rise with a repeatable playbook
The 5-Week Journey
Your 5-Week Transformation Arc
Each week is a 60-minute live session on Zoom, blending Maxwell's teaching with guided mastermind discussion and application.
Week 1: The Mindset Shift
Confront how you currently see failure — and replace the loop of shame and avoidance with the mindset of a learner.
Week 2: Owning the Loss
Take honest inventory of a real setback. Separate the facts from the story, and take ownership without taking on condemnation.
Week 3: The Return Framework
Work Maxwell's framework step by step to extract the lessons, insights, and leverage hidden inside your failure.
Week 4: Rebuilding Identity
Anchor an inner identity that doesn't rise and fall with outcomes — so the next setback refines you instead of defining you.
Week 5: The Rise Playbook
Turn everything into a personal, repeatable playbook for how you'll lead, decide, and rise every time you fail forward.
