Business Mastermind

“No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind [the master mind].”
— Napoleon Hill

In its second year, the USCR Business Mastermind offers a combination of education brainstorming, peer accountability, and support in a group setting that sharpens your spiritual business skills.

Rev. Dr. Ahriana Platten provides a monthly course, followed by a Q and A to discuss what was learned and how it might be applied.

The Business Mastermind is a great way to improve your business acumen, learn new ways to look at the spiritual importance of a community’s business activities, and to get to know others in the region and across the Unity movement.

Testimonials

“As a board president, I found it (the business mastermind) very valuable. It’s given me a new perspective on the annual cycle in a Unity church and a new appreciation for the role of the senior minister, and the full dimensions of that role. The business mastermind has caused me to think about things that I need to pay attention to and wouldn’t have noticed without this course.”

—Bill Shaw, Board President, Unity of Fort Worth

“I’ve been tuning into the region’s business mastermind for the last year, and it’s been very, very helpful. Every time I tune in, I get ideas I can actually use in the church. I appreciate the support and I’ve really enjoyed the energy of working with others who are facing similar challenges in ministry.”

—Rev. Robert Test, Minister, Unity Spiritual Center Pflugerville

FAQs

Can I earn CEU credits by attending this support call?

Yes! Unity Worldwide Ministries (UWM) will accept any hour attending our support calls as CEU credits. The recording and reporting of such hours to UWM remain the responsibility of each individual. Ethics and Inclusivity CEUs are earned as the topics are specifically offered. For any questions, please contact UWM directly.

What’s the difference between the two meetings a month?

The first meeting addresses a specific topic of interest to introduce common business practices and what works well in ministry. The intent is to inspire the immediate practical application to get some personal experience.

Then, the second meeting, is an opportunity to engage in a Q&A, which allows participants to reflect on their experience and get some valuable feedback from the host.

For whom are these meetings intended?

Primarily, these meetings are designed to address the business challenges in ministry for ministry leaders, such as the leading minister, the board president, treasurer, administrative manager, etc.

You can ask yourself the question who in your ministry could benefit from learning more about the business aspects of ministry?

Are these meetings confidential?

Yes and no. The first meeting, focusing on presenting a particular topic will be recorded for later use while the second meeting (Q&A) will not be recorded to ensure a safe space to discuss real-world challenges and opportunities.

I can’t meet at the time and day the meetings are held. Are there any recordings I can watch?

Yes, the first meeting will be recorded. However, it is not clear yet how we are going to make the recording available. We will update this FAQ once we made a final decision on the videos’ distributions.

Are there any other calls or meetings that provide ministry support?

Yes, USCR offers several calls and meetings to provide specific support in various areas. Check out our calendar to learn more about those regular events.
