Mastermind
An intervision and support group for in-house sustainability, ESG and impact managers.
Sustainability managers are the (silent) driving force behind transforming companies from the inside out.
If you ask us, it’s the most important role there is.
With a shared vision of turning companies into a ‘force for good,’ we want to help sustainability and impact professionals accelerate and provide the support they need. And who better understands what you’re dealing with than your peers?
That’s why we created the Purpose Club mastermind: an intimate group of like-minded individuals who not only understand your challenges but also offer new perspectives. So you can learn from each other how to work smarter, not harder, and achieve your goals—both professional and personally. And in turn, create even more impact.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” - African Proverb

Why a Mastermind is so powerful
Collective Problem Solving
The sustainability challenges you face are probably complex and often require creative, multidisciplinary approaches. A mastermind group allows you to tap into diverse perspectives, experiences, and expertise from peers, leading to more innovative and effective solutions.
Accountability & Motivation
Regular check-ins and peer support create a strong sense of accountability, encouraging you to stay committed to your goals. This structure fosters motivation, helping you make consistent progress and overcome roadblocks.
Leadership Growth & Confidence
By sharing experiences and receiving feedback, you'll gain insights into your leadership style, strengthen your decision-making abilities, and build the confidence needed to drive impactful sustainability initiatives within your organization
What they say
Before joining the mastermind, I was concerned about my work-life balance and was seeking my next career step. The connection with Lieke and curiosity about the other participants ultimately led me to join. The mastermind has helped me to focus better on my personal needs (I for example now work-out three to four times a week). Additionally, I took an important step in my career. What sets this mastermind apart is its emphasis on exchanging insights and learning from each other. Lieke’s guidance and the intervision sessions created exactly the space I needed to move forward. Lieke, thank you so much for your dedication and support!
The Mastermind helped me view my challenges from a fresh perspective, and it was reassuring to see that others in similar positions face the same questions. What sets the Purpose Club Mastermind apart is the way we engage with each other's cases; everyone brings something valuable, so you leave with insights that really matter. Thank you for the thoughtful structure and the opportunity to be a part of this!
The mastermind brought me a new sense of openness and the realization that the challenges I face are quite common. The helpful tips also provided a path to make positive changes. What sets the Purpose Club mastermind apart is the small group and the personal attention, which allows you to truly connect with others. Thank you for such a wonderful and insightful experience with a great group!
I was primarily curious about how other sustainability professionals tackle challenges and whether I could gain inspiration from their approaches. The structure of the mastermind appealed to me; it was refreshing to step out of my daily routine and learn from various sectors and perspectives within a small group. The mastermind prompted me to reflect on my role and how best to use my strengths. It was inspiring to see everyone in this field share a strong ideological drive. The mastermind challenged me to re-evaluate my purpose, my place in the field, and whether I still feel the same passion to make a difference. It was a valuable experience!
The Purpose Club Mastermind gave me the confidence and momentum to focus on the work I find meaningful. It was an enriching experience, and I truly benefited from the extra push to make my dreams more concrete and actionable. What makes this Mastermind unique is its peer-to-peer approach, with just the right amount of diversity for meaningful connections without being too homogenous. The opportunity to connect, learn, and grow alongside others with real-life experience has been invaluable.
