What is a Mastermind? 🧠

Masterminds are structured, 1-hour session on a bi-weekly basis with someone at a peer level in the company (manager-manager, IC-IC).

Masterminds are designed to establish a deep connection with a peer outside your immediate area for long-term support, accountability, and continuity.

After you've been at Buffer for around 90 days, you'll receive a mastermind partner and begin to meet with them every other week or so.

Benefits:

• Peer support
• Deeper connections within the company beyond your lead and immediate team
• A place to share challenges and achievements
• Opportunity to pause and reflect
• Cross-team pairings allow for more perspective and knowledge sharing across the company.
• Provides stability in times of change

Masterminds are not coaching or mentoring sessions.

How do Masterminds work?

Mastermind pairs are selected by the People-Ops team with advice from managers and leads. Once you're paired, please make plans to meet roughly every other week for one hour.
