EThOs Mastermind: Leadership Blind Spots – What You Didn’t See Coming (Session 1)


8-Week Leadership Course

Session 1: Wednesdays, Noon–1:00 PM | Begins September 10

Who It's For:

Entrepreneurs. Business owners. Nonprofit directors. Civic and community leaders. Pastors and ministry leaders.
If you lead, influence, or carry responsibility—you’re invited.

About the Mastermind:

Most leaders never plan to burn out, grow cynical, lose passion, or feel empty.
But it happens—all the time.

In this 8-week mastermind, we’ll dive into Carey Nieuwhof’s eye-opening book, Didn’t See It Coming, to uncover the seven core challenges that sabotage our leadership and soul. You’ll walk away with the insight and tools to:

  • Spot the warning signs of leadership drift before they crash your impact

  • Strengthen your inner life so you can lead with clarity, courage, and integrity

  • Stay spiritually and emotionally healthy in fast-paced, pressure-filled roles

  • Reignite your purpose and resilience in leadership

What You’ll Learn:

Each week, we’ll unpack one of the following topics together:

  1. Cynicism – Why we grow jaded and how to reclaim hope

  2. Compromise – How small decisions shape or sabotage our integrity

  3. Disconnection – What loneliness is doing to your leadership

  4. Irrelevance – Staying sharp in a rapidly changing world

  5. Pride – The subtle trap that kills trust and isolates leaders

  6. Burnout – How to heal or prevent exhaustion before it takes you out

  7. Emptiness – Finding fulfillment beyond achievement

  8. Living Intentionally – Strategies for sustainable growth and soul-level success

Why Join?

You can’t lead others well if you don’t lead yourself first.
This mastermind isn’t just another book study—it’s a high-trust space for growth, reflection, and breakthrough. Each session includes:

  • Engaging group discussions

  • Real-world application to your life and leadership

  • Practical tools for immediate use

  • A supportive community of peers pursuing purpose over performance

What You’ll Gain:

  • A deeper awareness of your blind spots and how to overcome them

  • Strengthened spiritual and emotional health

  • Renewed motivation and long-term resilience
