Do more with less
The Circles System makes it easy to connect in small groups for transformative, real-time, social learning. This allows you to provide all the essential leadership, team and cultural development programs a company needs for a fraction of the usual cost. You can customize, and invent your own. All programs boost trust, engagement, cross-functionality, idea flow and even wellness. We are experts in small group dynamics, and can deliver first as a managed service, so there is almost zero work for your team.
Humans are at our best in small groups.

The Circles System
How does it work? Circle Spaces, Programs and Leaders enable these transformative experiences to scale: Ask for details
CircleSpace
CircleSpace is a unique, browser-based, virtual video platform that fosters human connection. It works by getting people out of their day-to-day setings and applying research-based best practices to manage conversational energy, timing and flow. It is built for highly secure, confidential, conversations and usually requires no I.T. review – it is just like going to a web page or using an external video conference service. A dashboard helps you manage your programs and analyze results.
Circle Leaders
We have professionals on-demand, but some of your people will quickly rise to become badged circle leaders. As they gain confidence with the basics of small group dynamics, they’ll take this with them to other spaces. This infuses your organization with facilitative leadership. It also allows you to add more programs and reach more people for less.
CircleSpace Programs
The program kit means that your leaders show up and guide the group through a transformative experience, with little pre or post-work. The structure unlocks their connection and wisdom. In addition to the small sparks of information included in the program, they begin to share relevant resources, curating the internet for each other.
Pricing: Service Makes It Easy, Technology Makes It Scale
When we first work with an organization, we usually start with a Managed Program. This ensures the right foot. Either our professionals facilitate, or we train your people out of the gate. We typically start with a designed program or at least a templates, although some organizations opt to build customized programs right away.. For first managed programs, our pricing is straightforward.

A Small Group Strategy: our theory of change
Distributed work, hierarchy, anxiety, and polarization have eroded trust at work. Technology has made it too easy to form large, dehumanizing, companies or online communities. The impact is disengagement, quitting, stymied idea flow, avoiding important discussions, diminished sense of team, even loneliness and health issues.
CircleSpaces™ easily adds social learning to leadership, team, or cultural development programs. Some program participants then earn Circle Leader™ Badges, enabling you to quickly drop the cost to a low software licensing fee. Once you see and feel how small groups improve programs, you can add CircleSpaces to more programs, build more Circle Leaders, and eventually take over administration from us. The infusion of positive small group dynamics will transform your culture.
