Hey, I'm Jon Winters!

I help people and teams live and lead with purpose — on purpose.

Your home for EYC events, programs, and registration, all in one place.

I'm excited and grateful for the opportunity to bring EYC's personal growth and leadership development events and programs to you and our community — from the Leadership Game to our Masterminds and beyond.

As a Leadership & Culture Architect and Executive Program Leader for the Maxwell Leadership Team, my purpose and intentions for these events and programs are to:

Help every participant connect, fully present and engaged

Empower you to feel seen, heard, and valued, not just informed

Influence real, lasting change, starting with you

Together, impact your team, your organization, and our community

The EYC Declaration

"Everyone deserves to be seen, heard and understood, valued, and to have a purpose — to be part of something bigger than themselves.”

— Jon Winters

Mastermind Groups

Real growth doesn't happen alone — it happens in the room (or on the Zoom call) with people who are willing to be honest about where they are and courageous about where they're headed.

Empower You Coachsulting's Mastermind Groups are small, virtual, book-based learning communities built around proven leadership and personal growth content — primarily from John Maxwell and the Maxwell Leadership library. Each group typically runs for 8 weeks, meets weekly on Zoom, and is capped at 8 participants, so every voice is heard and every person is known.

This isn't a lecture series. Each week centers on a chapter (or multiple chapters) of the group's chosen book, paired with a participant workbook that turns the content into real reflection and application — not just information, but change you can point to. You'll process the material alongside people on the same journey, talk honestly about what's actually going on in your life and leadership, and leave each session with something concrete to carry into your week.

What to expect:

8 weekly sessions (typically) - live via Zoom
Small group — capped at 8 participants — for real connection and accountability
A chosen book plus a participant workbook (book purchased separately)
Facilitated discussion, not a lecture — your story matters as much as the author's

Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or just ready to stop coasting, a Mastermind Group gives you eight weeks of structure, support, and people in your corner. Browse our current and upcoming groups below and reserve your spot — space is limited to keep every group intimate.

Upcoming January 2027 Mastermind Groups

"How to Work With Complicated People" Mastermind Group

In this virtual 8-week Mastermind Group, we'll use How to Work With Complicated People by Ryan Leak to help you navigate the relationships that challenge you most, at work, at home, and everywhere in between, with more empathy, clarity, and skill. You'll be challenged to see the people who frustrate you through a different lens, and to build practical tools for working through conflict instead of around it. The power of the mastermind is felt through the connection, sharing, and support of the group.

Cost: $129 (includes participant workbook; book purchase required separately)
Facilitated by Jon Winters, Maxwell Leadership Team

You'll be challenged to become more aware and intentional in developing and implementing your growth plan for the year ahead. The power of the mastermind is felt through the connection, sharing, and support of the group.
