    Leadership Circles

    A Leadership Practice for the Times We Are In.

    Circles are a leadership practice ground to cultivate different ways of leading rooted in presence, inner knowing, and relationship, rather than performance or hustle.

    You don’t need a title to attend. All genders and expressions welcome.

    The Practice Ground

    A place for leaders to land, find their footing, and practice the deeper work leadership requires.

    The Practice Ground is a six-session one-to-one leadership journey for people carrying responsibility in complex systems. It creates space to pause, reflect honestly on what leadership is asking of you, and reconnect with how you want to meet this moment.

    ~Circle participant

  • "A beautiful day, with such great people. It was truly a refreshing change of pace. [There were] inspiring conversations with room to move around and participate in my own unique ways."

    ~ Circle Participant

  • "Cristin created a space where a group of strangers came together with trust, vulnerability and authenticity. Every detail was considered before, during and after our time together and that attention allowed me to experience an intense and profound period of growth that I will build upon with intention and gratitude...thank you for holding a gentle, kind, wise, thoughtful space for us to connect."

    ~ Maryann Kerr

  • "Genuine trust was established among the group fairly immediately and the discussions and connections that followed were open, honest and authentic. I learned a lot about myself, about group dynamics in leadership, and about the value of slowing down and making meaningful, lasting connections."

    ~ Circle Participant

  • "The day was magical. If I had to choose the individuals that attended the circle, I don’t believe I could have picked such a courageous, brave, intelligent and caring group!"
