AND ALSO…..

GYDA Masterminds work when deep relationships are formed, and members feel trusted and comfortable opening up and sharing, as well as confident enough to advise and challenge others. GYDA Masterminds, therefore, operate on a 12-month rolling basis (but we’re pretty confident you’ll stay longer).
