Leadership Circles
Guidance on accessing our Leadership Circle sessions
Our Leadership Circles are exclusively for our Alumni and provide a supportive, confidential space for you to seek guidance on current leadership challenges.
Each session is facilitated by one of our highly experienced leadership coaches, with attendance limited to a maximum of six leaders. There is no pre-planned agenda for these sessions. Instead, your coach will facilitate a discussion to support the group to reflect on the challenges you each bring to the circle and to identify practical ideas and strategies to address them.
Alumni Network members can book a maximum of three sessions over an academic year. There is no limit for Alumni Network+ members.
Sessions are available on a first come, first served basis. If your previous coach is facilitating Leadership Circle sessions, we encourage you to re-connect, but you are equally welcome to book in with another member of our coach team.
