Learning Circles: Beyond Group Coaching

Peer-to-peer leadership growth that scales with your company. Available in remote, in-person, or hybrid formats to meet your organization's unique needs.

A Learning Culture That Scales

Customized Sessions

4-8 sessions focused on topics aligned with your organization's needs, co-designed with your people, and facilitated by certified group coaches.

Flexible Format

Choose remote, in-person, or hybrid delivery with 8-12 participants per circle. We work with teams worldwide and match the best time zones for you.

Integrated Peer Coaching

Participants grow through peer coaching on real work challenges using "real play" (not role play) for hands-on learning that creates lasting impact.

Our approach helps leaders practice core skills like listening, asking questions, and curiosity that can be applied immediately in day-to-day work, creating an efficient process with lasting organizational impact.

Customized to Your Leadership Needs

Our Learning Circles are designed to meet your organization where it is:

  • Pre-designed topics available for technical leaders transitioning into people leadership

  • Relevant for all levels — from CEOs to first-time managers

  • Focus on core leadership skills: communication, effective conversations, conflict management, feedback, and delegation

  • Built as a scalable system, so leadership skills grow with your company

We create customized programs that address your specific leadership challenges while building a sustainable culture of continuous learning.

🔹 Our Learning Circles create a structured environment where leaders can develop through collaborative learning. This model ensures skills are practiced, refined, and immediately applicable to real workplace challenges.

🔹 The process is designed to be efficient and impactful, creating lasting change in how leaders approach their roles and responsibilities while building a network of peer support that extends beyond the program.

The Value of Learning Circles

Learning Circles also provide a safe space for real practice, create accountability and challenge through peer relationships, and build connections that stick well beyond the program.

Learning in Action

Research shows peer learning boosts knowledge retention by 70%. In circles, leaders work on real challenges—not theory.

See Yourself in a Group

One-on-one coaching helps you reflect on your personal goals—but circles show how you actually show up with others. And that’s where leadership plays out most of the day.

Fresh Perspectives

When different backgrounds come together, they spark insights you can’t reach alone—driving the breakthroughs that solve complex problems

Why Collaborative Learning Works?

  • In Learning Circles, leaders work on real business challenges, celebrate wins, and immediately apply new skills by engaging with peers.

  • In today's world, anyone can access endless tools, courses, or content. What leaders rarely get is space to process what they're learning—together.

As Charles Jennings reminds us, with his 70-20-10 model. Most learning doesn’t happen in a classroom. It happens in the flow of work.
