Mindful Leadership Circle
What is it?
A Mindful Leadership Circle gathers leaders together to:
- foster a better culture in the leadership team.
- slow down, be mindful and listen deeply.
- access the wisdom and experience of peers.
- create a sense of collective, a true connection and positive energy amongst leaders.
-
improve the overall team performance
- offer new perspective to look at an important leadership challenge or question.
- develop new innovative ways for responding to the challenge or questions.
- hear the reflections of others and gently share your own
It filled a gap for me as a team leader because it is so necessary to have peers ask the right questions to help me make decisions. It gave me clarity.
It is a great initiative to enhance our listening skills and enable a new thought process to emerge that is more creative.

It helps me be more present and listening more deeply. It is a time where I'm not distracting with my laptop, emails or calls.
I enjoy the quality of the conversations held in the circle and how we all face the same challenges somehow.
Frequently asked question
Here are a few answers to our most common questions
How is it different from another meeting?
Usually a meeting starts with one leader following a set agenda or making a presentation.
In contrast, Mindful Leadership Circle starts with a connection to each leader inner-wisdom (which is often a blind spot in leadership). It can be achieve via a guided meditation or an intention setting.
How any people can attend a circle?
It is a minimum of three to four leaders and a maximum of ten leaders.
How is it held?
It is held via Zoom only for the moment.
What are we doing during a circle?
As mentioned above, it can start with a meditation and/or an intention setting. Then any leader that feel like sharing a current challenge or question can speak and the other leaders will listen deeply. It is about connecting each leader inner wisdom as well as the collective wisdom.
How long is it for?
A minimum of 70 minutes is required
How can I book one for my team or my company?
