VIDA, one of the top-rated coworking spaces in Portland, Oregon, offers highly-curated Masterminds sessions for its members.  

Exclusively for VIDA Members

Welcome to VIDA Masterminds – your quarterly opportunity to accelerate your professional goals alongside fellow VIDA community members in a supportive, structured environment.

What Makes VIDA Masterminds Special

VIDA Masterminds launched during the pandemic when our members and their businesses needed all the support they could get, and have evolved with the business landscape. Now in our seventh session, we’ve discovered that the most magical and successful groups happen when all members share the same commitment and engagement level.

“Two or more people, actively engaged in the pursuit of a definite purpose with a positive mental attitude, constitute an unbeatable force.” ~Napoleon Hill

The VIDA Masterminds Experience

Quarterly Cohorts of 8-10 VIDA Members Each 12-week session brings together a carefully curated group of committed VIDA members, all working toward identified professional goals.

Expert Facilitation Led by VIDA Founder & CEO Melanie Marconi, a longtime entrepreneur who launched her first business at age 23 and has guided her fourth business through and beyond a global pandemic. Melanie brings real-world experience and has seen it all.

The OKR Framework with a Feminine Touch We utilize the OKR (Objectives and Key Results) methodology developed by Andy Grove and popularized by John Doerr, but with Melanie’s signature feminine and non-tech approach that makes goal-setting accessible and actionable.

Safe Space for Growth Built on respect, collaboration, and our VIDA Values, these sessions tap into the collective wisdom, ideas, and experiences of the group while maintaining a supportive, judgment-free environment.
