the ground rules
Thank you for showing up for yourself. To ensure BrainTrust members get maximum return on her investment, here are the Ground Rules.
Be present.
Show up. It’s that simple. Vault™ meetings are required. To make that easier, your Vault™ will work to find a time, date and place that works for everyone. When scheduling conflicts arise, you’ll work together to make the necessary adjustments. It’s your responsibility to communicate those conflicts as soon as possible to ensure a timely resolution. Being present is critical to the success of your Vault™. This is your investment in yourself and your business. Protect it.
Confidentiality
Keep it to yourself. Everything discussed in your Vault™ must be held in the strictest of confidence. You may not share what you heard or discussed with anyone, not even your spouse. This rule applies to monthly meetings and any other Vault™ activities. Your Vault™ must be a safe place to share your personal and professional challenges and joys.
Punctuality
Be on time. You have agreed to the time and date of your Vault™ meeting, so plan your day accordingly, anticipating traffic and weather, and coordinating childcare so you are ALWAYS on time. Better yet, get there 15 minutes early!
Respect
Follow the Golden Rule. While you may not have known the women in your Vault™ before joining BrainTrust, you can be assured that when we placed you together, we considered how you would complement one another. Treat each member as you would like to be treated. Minimize all distractions and prepare to listen fully and share openly. Be open-minded and accepting of one another’s differences. One of the greatest benefits of having a Vault™ is the diversity of other members’ experiences. Listen intently and learn.
Vault Member
The Vault™ experience may be for you if your business is on track to generate from $100,000 to $999,999 annually OR if you are currently pre-revenue but actively involved in raising start-up capital.
Vault™ members are placed in a curated group of up to seven (7) peers. By committing to dedicated monthly meetings, members exercise discipline and learn to quickly process issues and opportunities, identify blind spots and pitfalls, develop strategy, and celebrate successes. You’ll meet with your Vault™ for four (4 ) hours a month in a safe, confidential environment. You’ll learn from the diverse experiences and perspectives of your peers to help you scale more quickly.
