Circle and Square Club
Our Methodology
We first start with understanding where the opportunity lies within your business: people, product, or profit?
People First
Organizational life is, at its core, about the people. Regardless of industry, scale, or stage, the first focus for any business or leader is people: your employees, your customers, and your investors. Without the people, the best product in the world exists in a vacuum. We root all our work, as a business and as individual leaders, in people.
Product Next
When you have amazing people, they will build you an amazing product. Empower your people to build a comprehensive and cohesive solution which will appeal to your customers and drive value for the organization and its investors. A world class team who brings excellence to the market establishes the core base of your success as an organization and as a leader.
Profit Follows
Unlocking the first two pillars of people and product lets you leverage your success and relationships to drive awareness, improve operational realities, and tackle scale and growth across verticals and horizontals. As profit grows, reinvest in your team and your product in an iterative cycle to ensure continuous learning, growth, and returns.
We then launch into our Circle and Square approach which guides our solution-driven process through a 1-3-1 approach to problem-solving and innovation.
In the 1-3-1 approach, we distill down to 1 clearly defined goal, opportunity, or challenge. We then collaboratively identify 3 viable solutions or approaches. Finally, we will narrow that down to 1 clear actionable plan for execution giving you a roadmap to success.
Together, we will take your big idea and turn it into actionable goals with clear plans for execution while remaining adaptable, responsive, and agile to changing conditions.
The Circle is a coaching-inspired collaborative space, exploring possibilities, and innovating without the pressure of immediate decisions. It takes brainstorming, innovation, and problem-solving to the next level with turbocharged power and clarity.
The Square is where we begin to design actual intervention. This space is designed to develop targeted strategies, make data-driven decisions, and craft actionable plans to address the specific business or leadership challenge.
Circle Meetings: Embracing Possibility and Innovation
In the realm of Circle Meetings, we invite business leaders to tap into the power of appreciative inquiry and action learning practices. These one-on-one sessions serve as a space for brainstorming, innovation, and problem-solving, where possibilities are explored without the pressure of immediate decision-making.
During Circle Meetings, an expert coach facilitates open discussion, while exploring different perspectives, insights, and ideas. Appreciative inquiry allows us to focus on the positive elements of your business or leadership opportunity and identify its unique strengths.

We encourage continuous learning and improvement.
