Leadership Circle connects diverse leaders of the Chicago business and civic communities by providing participants with exclusive access to the intellectual capital of their peers.

Executives build deep relationships with their peers in an intimate and confidential setting. They share successes, challenges and build an important set of peer advisors that provide support as they navigate their leadership journey.

What Is Leadership Circle?

The Leadership Circle is a peer-to-peer development experience where participants are carefully selected and grouped with leaders from various industries and functions.

The program targets executives who are looking to build a group of peers who share experiences and insights as participants move through the career lifecycle.

Typically, groups consist of 10-12 participants with one or two co-facilitators. Co-facilitators are members who help to guide group engagement creating and maintaining momentum throughout the program.

Why Leadership Circle?

  • Leaders are expected to succeed at high levels but often lack time to build a strong peer network. Leadership Circle offers a monthly space for personal and professional reflection.
  • Most programs focus on work experiences but rarely address personal challenges and their impact on leadership.
  • Leadership Circle creates a trusted environment where leaders can share challenges, gain insights, and receive feedback from peers, fostering personal growth and professional excellence

Go beyond your circle and spark a conversation

Leadership Circle is a renewable program that offers participants the chance to remain engaged with a peer group across a long period of time. Over time, groups have the opportunity to celebrate successes and work through areas of opportunity together.
