About Me – SmallGroup Mindset
I'm Carol Manny, and I started SmallGroup Mindset because I believe small groups have the power to transform communities, workplaces, faith settings, and lives—but only when they’re built with intention.

In graduate school, I focused my studies on Small Group Development and Facilitation and earned certification in that field. For over 15 years, I led and nurtured small groups in a church setting, learning firsthand what helps groups not just form—but stay connected, purposeful, and thriving. Today, I continue to create my own small groups and also help others start, reshape, or strengthen theirs.

I work directly with individuals, teams, and organizations to offer everything from simple tools and timelines to personalized consulting. Whether you're launching a new group or trying to bring fresh life to one that’s stuck, I can help you think through what’s needed—from group structure and norms to participant engagement and sustainability.

Small groups don’t just happen—they’re shaped by people who care enough to build them well. I’d love to help you do that.
