MultipleMind Groups
A monthly group programme that combines masterclass and mastermind, so a small circle of founders can work on one another’s challenges and make the method second nature.
ONE GREAT IDEA IS WONDERFUL. THE HABIT IS TRANSFORMATIONAL.
Most people who learn the method use it brilliantly once, and then life takes over. The workbook goes in a drawer. The next challenge arrives and they meet it the old way, alone, hoping something turns up.
A group changes that. It gives you a rhythm, a deadline, and a room full of people who will not let you settle for your first answer. It turns the method from something you did once into something you do.
And it means you are never stuck on your own again.
THE COMPANY THAT GREAT THINKERS KEPT
This is not a new idea. It is one of the oldest.
Thomas Edison spent his summers on the road with Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone and the naturalist John Burroughs. They called themselves the Vagabonds. Four remarkable minds from four different worlds, an inventor, a manufacturer, an industrialist and a writer about the natural world, deliberately spending time in one another’s company, talking, arguing and thinking aloud.
They were not networking. They were doing something far more valuable. They were exposing their thinking to minds unlike their own, which is precisely where breakthroughs come from.
The Inklings did the same in an Oxford pub, where Tolkien and C.S. Lewis read their unfinished work to one another. Franklin’s Junto did it in Philadelphia. Every serious creative tradition, in the end, arrives at the same conclusion: thinking is better with the right people in the room.
MultipleMind Groups are that idea, brought up to date and built around the method.
This is not a lecture. It is a journey.
HOW IT WORKS
By end of the day, you wA small, deliberately mixed circle. We bring together founders from genuinely different fields, because that is what creates the Medici Effect, the collisions between unlike worlds where the best ideas hide.
When your challenge comes round, each member takes a turn in the chair with their own Burning Question, and the group goes to work on it with the full method behind them.
Part mastermind, part masterclass. Each session deepens one part of the method or introduces a new technique, and then you apply it live to a real challenge in the room. You are not sitting through a class. You are learning by doing, on work that matters.ill have:
WHAT YOU GET FROM IT
- Momentum. A standing monthly appointment with your own thinking, so the important challenges stop being the ones you never get to.
- Perspectives you cannot buy. Founders from other industries seeing your problem with fresh eyes, and spotting what you have stopped noticing.
- Genuine fluency in the method. Six months of applied practice, so the five stages become instinct rather than something you look up.
- A circle you keep. The relationships formed in these rooms tend to outlast the cohort itself.
- Your own challenges moved forward. Not theory. Real progress on real work, month after month.
LED BY EXPERIENCE
Groups are facilitated by Cilla Hall and Steve Roche, who is the co-author of The Power of Masterminding, first published in 2005, and a mastermind practitioner for over two decades.
That matters more than it might sound. A group of clever people in a room can easily become a pleasant chat that changes nothing. What makes the difference is the facilitation – keeping the discipline, protecting the honesty, making sure every member gets real value, and steering the group through the method rather than around it.
WHO IT IS FOR
Founders and business owners who want a regular, structured space to think, and other sharp minds to think alongside.
Anyone who has learned the method and wants to embed it properly rather than let it fade.
People who work alone, or who are the only one in their organisation with nobody to think with at their level.
You do not need to have attended the Brilliant Ideas Day first, though many members have.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions about The Brilliant Ideas Day
No. Many members have, and it does give you a head start, but the group teaches the method as it goes.
Every member commits to confidentiality, and we compose groups carefully so you are not sitting opposite a direct competitor. If your work is especially sensitive, the Brilliant Ideas Intensive may suit you better, since it is entirely private.
Many groups choose to continue, and members often stay together well beyond the first cohort. There is no obligation either way.
Life happens. You will get notes and a catch-up, though the real value comes from being in the room, so we ask members to protect the dates.
Work gets done. Every session is built around a real challenge belonging to a real member, with the method applied to it properly. People leave with ideas and next steps, not just good conversation.
We understand the concern, and confidentiality is a cornerstone of the day. Every participant commits to respecting what is shared. If your work is particularly sensitive, we are happy to provide a formal non-disclosure agreement. Just ask.
