Testimonials
Making decisions together can be challenging—whether you're in a small school or a large company. The main difficulty comes from trying to bring together different needs, opinions, and interests. Organizations that want to grow and mature choose to include everyone's voice and power rather than increase control. This approach builds trust and creates stronger teams. One method that has helped us do this is the Circle method. It allows people to put aside job titles and focus on shared goals. By doing this, we reduce the influence of ego, pressure to be fast at any cost, or top-down urgency. If we can run meetings where both a six-year-old and a senior expert feel heard and respected—so can you. It's all about creating a space where everyone feels safe to speak and contribute.
