What is the Circl Programme?

For the last 4 years at Circl we’ve been running Inclusive Co-Coaching Leadership Programmes, matching professionals from progressive companies like Google, McKinsey, Innocent, Meta and eBay, with underrepresented 18-24 yr olds for an inclusive coaching skills accreditation. On the programme both the professionals and young people actually get to know each other and build authentic trust through powerful conversations and both achieve a management level accreditation in leadership coaching skills. 

The Circl Open Programme

Is this for you?

Do you want to go beyond surface level DE&I initiatives? Are you up for gaining a management level coaching skills accreditation, while improving your inclusive leadership skills, and also empowering an underrepresented 18 - 24 year old to do the same? 

Do you have a personal learning budget that you want to spend on something that will not only give you invaluable skills and experience to be a more inclusive leader, but could also change a young person's life?

If yes, then this is for you :)

What are the key benefits?

How long is the programme, how do I take part & what is the cost?
