Hawthorne Group

Welcome to the MD2MD information page for Hawthorne group members

MD2MD In-person Meeting

Welcome to the group.

This group meets online eight times a year on Friday from 1:30pm to 3:00pm.

We encourage you to download the group meeting dates (links towards the end of this page) to your work calendar and make a point of attending the group meetings as an opportunity to work on, not in, your business for 90 mins but also to be there to support your group colleagues who may need your input on one of their challenges.

MD2MD encourages engagement between members with each other and with speakers outside meetings, if you need to be connected to someone please simply ask your group manager to connect you.  We will always connect by email, leaving you to share phone numbers as you choose.

Don’t forget, your membership entitles your senior leadership team to have unlimited access to our online events such as workshops, webinars, special interest groups and trending topics.

Between meetings:
MD2MD aims to be a helpful source of information and contacts for members so if you need to know something or someone or need some service and think we might be able to point you in the right direction, please ask.

MD2MD also endeavours to be there when you need us.  So if you have anything on your mind that you’d like to run past someone independent and detached, yet supportive and experienced, please ask your group manager and if they can’t help you themselves, they will endeavour to connect you with someone who can.

There is no additional fee for the quick, high-value, remote support MD2MD provides for members. It is part of the service.

If you need more in-depth support, our founder Bob is available for business speaking, coaching, mentoring, non exec roles and board facilitation.

Connect with Bob on LinkedIn to keep up-to-date with his thoughts, tips and tools for all things business leadership. Click here to book a no-fee, 30-minute coaching call with Bob.
