Reboot Circles are carefully curated peer learning groups that cultivate growth from the inside out. Led by a experienced Reboot coach, you and 5 of your peers come together to support each other’s personal and professional development.
1. Feel more in control and less stressed – Our struggles always seem bigger and more overwhelming when we’re isolated from others who can help. You’ll feel better and more in control with a go-to group of peers you can trust to help you problem solve and be there when the going gets tough. You don’t have to do this alone.
2. Lead smarter with a growth mindset – Leading effectively in a modern organization requires being able to adapt to anything. Business school and reading the best blogs can’t build resilience–resilience comes as you apply a learning mindset to the highs and lows of life experience. Learning together with a group maximizes your growth by tapping into the diverse experiences and perspectives of other leaders. As you update and revise your mental models, you’ll gain more influence and impact as a leader. You don’t have to be held back by your blind spots.
3. Become the best version of you – Being a better leader starts with being a better human. As a busy leader making time to step back, be introspective, and work on your own personal and professional growth is hard. It’s the first thing to get papered over when your calendar fills up. Your Circle is protected time in your schedule to work on you. We’ll hold you accountable to doing the life-giving (but difficult) work of introspection, and you’ll get clarity on what it means to live in alignment with your deepest values. We call this inside-out leadership development . You don’t have to experience work and life as a passive observer.
4. Join the Family – Reboot brings together a team of coaches with wide-ranging experience and expertise. You’ll have access to their wisdom through exclusive Reboot content.

Reboot Circles create a container of safety, inquiry and accountability from which the authentic, resilient leader within you can emerge. Group sessions involve a mix of coaching exercises, guided journaling, facilitated group exploration and time to process pressing issues and concerns. The facilitator holds the space and provides loving provocation, allowing for powerful insights and discoveries to emerge in the interactions. Groups meet virtually (video conference), twice a month, for 1.5 hours each meeting. Membership is $500 a month with a six-month time commitment ($3,000 for 12 professionally facilitated sessions). Groups are launched quarterly, and membership is offered to the first six qualified and curated members.

What happens if I don’t have the time to make it every meeting?
Because your full commitment is necessary for the peer group to have the highest value for all ofthe participants, we ask that you make attendance a priority.

Do virtual meetings work?
Yes. Meeting virtually ensures flexibility and ease of attendance for the bi-monthly meetings,allowing us to prioritize consistency, quality facilitation, and careful group creation. That said,we realize that in-person meetings can be incredibly powerful, and we will be offering in-personpeer coaching group options soon.
