Testimonials:
“The feedback and various viewpoints with fresh perspectives were most valuable. The program was very well structured and organized and I think we became a team with great spirit.” (Circle member from a multinational banking and financial services company)
“It’s really been helpful to have this group. All of us have a tremendous amount to share. The more we talk, it gets richer and more valuable, even though our professional worlds are very different.” (Circle member from multinational technology company)
“The Communication Strategy Circle is a safe place to discuss business challenges with leaders like yourself. It’s confidential, cordial and collaborative. I get new ideas and motivation from every meeting.” (Circle member from global financial advisory firm)
“It was hard to realize there was an end point for the group. It got better and better as sessions went on. It was a great opportunity for me to take 75 minutes and really focus on someone else, which was refreshing. It helped sharpen my listening skills and focus on feedback that would be of most value to the group.” (Circle member from one of the largest universities in the U.S.)
The Communication Strategy Circle on Communitelligence is a private space where members can network and join group discussions with other members, access recordings of past meetings and learn from a leadership resource archive. Members also get three free courses and can attend webinars at a discount.

Features | Strategy Circle | Conference | ||
Set together by expert co-leaders and all members | Set by organizers, usually months in advance | |||
You’re focusing and dealing with multiple real-time, real- world issues that you and your peers care enough about to bring to the Circle. You truly have your finger on the pulse on what’s going on | You’re hearing some best practices and case studies that may or may not be relevant to you and your organization | |||
Each member presents an issue they’re dealing with and gets ideas and suggestions from the group; also ability to ask each other questions | Except for hallway conversations, there is little or no chance to get individual questions answered | |||
Lean in – you’re actively engaged and listening to give and receive ideas and enjoy the conversation | Lean back – you’re listening and perhaps, taking notes, but not expected to contribute | |||
Listening, strategic thinking and consulting, collaboration, future-casting and advising | Listening | |||
By the end of your Circle, you and your Circle peers are co-collaborators and ready to be BFFs (Best Friends Forever) | By the end of the conference you’ve met a handful of peers whom you probably won’t ever talk to again | |||
Attend six 75-minute web conferences from your office or any mobile device over three months | 2-4 days out of office, with work both interrupting and stacking up while you’re away | |||
$695 for six sessions over a 3-month period. | $2-8,000 for registration and travel | |||
Energizing time for thinking and having insights; at end of each session, can return to work refreshed | Energy draining, because you’re alternating between feeling like you’re drinking from a fire hose from so much content, or you’re being subjected to Chinese water torture from the slow pace of irrelevant material | |||
The most individual help, learning, skills development and networking for the least time and cost commitment | Only best if you just want a good excuse to get out of the office and travel |
We started the Circle because we know your pain.
You and your Circle peers set the agenda.
