designed to meet you where you are
Circles offers multi-week programs of small-group sessions that are steered by a trained facilitator.
These sessions cover a range of topics—from connection and self-awareness to motivation, control, dealing with regrets, and finding the meeting point of passion and purpose.
But Circle is more than just talk—it’s a structured journey that shows students that they’re not alone, that their struggles are normal, and that success looks different for everyone.
The ultimate outcome? A more complete integration of students’ identities, values, and goals as each pursues a unique path to success.
facilitators
Our Train the Facilitator curriculum includes eight units covering The Fundamentals of Group Work, A Primer to Positive Psychology, and Determining Your Unique Facilitation Style to prepare you to run Circle at your home institution.
modules
We create distinctive and highly impactful modules to address the unique contexts and challenges of your organization. See a sample below.
topics
Every Circle starts with connection and self-awareness. After that, the topics—all from the Positive Psychology and Career Development playbook—are sequenced to complete each module.
Module 1
Affinity Groups
From authenticity and imposter syndrome to burnout and identity, this Circle provides students with an enhanced sense of belonging not only to their peer group, but also to their institution.
Module 2
Career Pathway Clarification
Students discover their reason why and learn how to prioritize their time to effectively align with their purpose.
Module 3
Navigating Transitions
Your students will leave this program with the ability to reframe their most challenging transitions into valuable lessons. Change becomes a thing to embrace rather than to fear.
Module 4
Coping with Stress & Pressure
Through the strength of an intimate peer group, students realize that they cope best by connecting meaningfully with others.
Module 5
Decision Making
Decision making is effortless for some, agonizing for others. In this module, we seek to understand why this is and learn how our orientation to the world influences the way we approach choices, big and small.
Module 6
Leadership
Leadership cannot be taught; it must be experienced. In this module, we use the lever of psychological safety to explore what authentic leadership really feels like.
