Operations & Project Manager

We come together as a company, from Barcelona, Brooklyn, Saratoga Springs, Lake Oswego, Auckland, Buenos Aires, and more, to help other companies and communities create Circles. Circles are small groups of people pursuing a common purpose, striving to be open with each other, and pushing each other to act. Facilitated dialogue propels them, deepening over time.

Circles aren’t a novel idea. We’ve studied and worked with hundreds of practitioners of all kinds of Circles, and our goal is to amplify their efforts, and spur on the movement – of Circles, not rows, already including intervision groups, Young Presidents’ Organization, the Aspen Institute, restorative justice practices, lean in, men’s groups and many more. We’re continually improving our system, platform and services, as we learn from our partners, participants, and from each other.
