What are Coaching Circles?

The purpose is to bring together the collective wisdom of leaders within the organizations to resolve sticky issues. Circles use action learning, which is a continuous cycle of acting, reflecting, learning and planning. This scientifically proven methodology transforms both individuals and organizations through a continuous process of learning.
