Strong leaders never stop learning.
Aplomb Circle for Experienced Leaders at Hula is launching and now open for registrations.
Brought to you by Aplomb Consulting, this monthly circle hosted at Hula and supported by Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility (VBSR) offers a safe, structured space for values-driven CEOs and executive leaders to connect, share challenges, and learn from one another. Through expert facilitation, peer guidance, and collective wisdom, participants will explore confident leadership, change management and building supportive community. The program recognizes that CEOs and executives know that it can be lonely at the top and offers the support, camaraderie and guidance to stay confident and effective. Leaders of all backgrounds and stages/size of business (and nonprofits) are welcome.
PROGRAM SCHEDULE
This program is for 6 months, with monthly meetings. Recognizing the demands on experienced executives, the sessions will 2 hours in length. All of the sessions are set for Fridays at Hula.
DETAILS
Self-Assessment: Once you are accepted into Aplomb Circle, you will fill out an introspection form to help you envision your goals for yourself and your organization, as well as what you hope to gain from Aplomb Circle. This information will be collected confidentially to help Aplomb Consulting customize the syllabus for your particular cohort.
Six-Month Learning Cycle: This leadership class runs in six-month learning cycles. Participants may join at any time and are asked to commit to a full six months to get the most from the experience. At the end of each six-month cycle, participants can choose to renew and continue their leadership journey.
Sessions will be a combination of many different activities, include full and small group discussion. In these six sessions, you will be guided in analysis of different leadership models, skill building, contemplating real-life challenges, including role-playing, peer advice-giving, and connections with peer leaders and community building. Before each session, you will be assigned 15-to-30 minutes of readings or videos to expand your knowledge and awareness and add depth to our conversations.
Quality improvement: Members of The Aplomb Circle will be polled for how they feel about the sessions so far. These confidential surveys will be aggregated and themes and quantifiable ratings will be shared with members of The Aplomb Circle, as well as partnering organizations including Hula and VBSR. This added accountability will be used to improve sessions.
LOGISTICS
Cost to participate is $1,250, with preferred pricing of $1,000 for Hula or VBSR Members. You will be invoiced separately in a lump sum payment. Once payment is received your seat will be confirmed for Aplomb Circle.
