1. What are Coaching Circles?

Coaching Circles® are a trusting environment for a small group of peers to coach each other in exploring the challenges and complexities of their roles and in designing effective and authentic ways to achieve what matters most to them.

Coaching circles combine the power of action learning and integral development to support leaders in creatively tackling the challenges they face while practicing the coaching skills they need on the job. This powerful technology enables individuals and teams to boost their performance and develop their capabilities in a truly supportive environment. Specifically, coaching circles deliver the following results:

• They improve the long-term performance and leadership capabilities of individuals and teams.
• They generate powerful breakthroughs for those who face complex leadership and management challenges.
• They reveal and challenge the socio-cultural norms and practices of the organization or community.
• They create a safe and stimulating environment in which to learn and grow.
• They support the development and use of critical coaching skills.
• They create dynamic partnerships that extend well beyond the life of circles.

2. How do Coaching Circle Work?

Coaching circles operate under the premise that adults learn better and flourish more under certain conditions, including when:

• They use their experience as a basis for action, reflection, and learning.
• They anchor their learning in what really matters to them and their organization.
• They find their own solutions rather than being told what to do.
