GBI trust this organizations content I trust this organizations content . But truthfully I am just beginning process of putting the teaching into practice. So until I receive feedback from my customers. I can not state more. Initially ,I just didn’t know where to start and how to put my ideas into reality.

GBJoining mentorship I was thinking of joining mentorship and my john maxwell friend in colo sprgs suggested it. I waited for my funds to transfer as it is the last of my savings and then i went bback in to the conference. When i got back the push for this was almost a pressure...it honestly was a turn off. Left me wondering if this investment was going to be all it talked about. I certainly hope so.

GBHas the JMT lost sight of its mission Has the JMT lost sight of its mission? Sadly, it seems as the mission is more about building checkbooks than serving others. It is heartbreaking. I really believed that this was different and yet greed seems to have outweighed service. It has become more about pay to play. We are taught to "avoid the shiny object" syndrome however at each turn we are being asked to spend more to get more. We are taught "we are enough" yet in order to be enough we are to buy another class or program or position. Access to certain "privileges" is purchased and then the bar is raised so more money is required to obtain the same access. The leadership team is changing without sufficient explanation. We build a relationship with someone and then they are gone. Is this also a money thing? Are other "leaders" being brought in at half the price? Finally, the leadership does not reflect the demographics of the group. Women are over represented in support roles and not in leadership positions even though the demographics of the group are likely to be a 50/50 split male to female. A classic patriarchal organization. Another disappointing fact about the JMT. On the bright side, I have met some of the most amazing people in my life. Highly motivated to change the world. For me, the greatest value has been the people I've met and the impact they are having. John C. Maxwell is one of the most amazing men I know. An outstanding leader, story teller and speaker. Is this the legacy he wants to leave?

JMPersonally I would have preferred some… Personally I would have preferred some further in depth teachings as we are now JMT certified - I think we only touched tip of the iceberg as it pertains to becoming an actual coach , and the conference was Was mainly a sales pitch for mentorship. While the conference may have had great content, I do not believe that the manner in which this was done would qualify any first time attendee to be certified as a coach.
