A mastermind group is a curated, peer-to-peer advisory programme designed to help members solve their problems with input and advice from the group.

This model stands in direct contrast to one-to-many formats like online courses or group coaching programmes, where the primary flow of information is from a single expert to an audience. In a mastermind, the facilitator guides the process, but the members themselves provide the bulk of the value to one another through shared experience and mutual support.
