Common Questions

What are Relevant Circles?

Relevant Circles are closed groups of 12 - 14 people who collaborate in a structured Thinking Partnership to develop their future-focused thinking and capabilities through expert-facilitated sessions held twice a month for six consecutive months.

why a thinking partnership?

Collective intelligence flourishes in a Thinking Partnership, enabling you to develop new approaches, challenge your thinking patterns, and collaboratively make sense of events and situations in ways individual development falls short.

Who can APPLY? 

You're an ideal Member of a Circle if you're a leader, decision-maker, or entrepreneur who recognises that the time is right to be intentional about adapting and developing your thinking, and values collaborative learning with leaders across the sectors.

how many people in a CIRCLE?

Each Circle is created for a minimum of 12 people (maximum 14). Once the Circle is complete, sessions begin (no late joiners). A start date is set for the Circle and will be delayed by one calendar month until the circle is complete.

WHAT'S THE FORMAT?

Live Sessions are led and facilitated by Louise Mowbray over Zoom:
  • 1 x 120-Minute Topic Session per month for six consecutive months
  • 1 x 60-Minute drop-in Discussion Session per month (two weeks after the Topic Session) for six consecutive months

where is my circle hosted?

You will be invited to join your Circle in a private group, hosted by Louise, on Substack where you'll find appropriate content from each session, community chat, the ability to post notes and insights, and easy engagement with one another.

What's the etiquette?

As a Member of a Circle, you'll commit to attending two sessions a month, actively contributing your experiences and insights, maintaining complete confidentiality, and engaging respectfully with the diverse perspectives shared within your Circle.

are circles confidential?

Yes. A Relevant Circle is subject to Mowbray by Design's Virtual Events Ts & Cs, and its Members agree to abide by the Chatham House Rule:

"When a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed."

The future is the here and now.

How will you shape it?

Relevant Circles are designed to help you to create space for discernment and feel invigorated about leading the future, today. 

The future is the here and now. We have much more agency over what's to come than we might realise. With every choice and decision we make today, we are playing our part in fashioning the world we will live in tomorrow.

The question worth contemplating is: Are we actively pulling ourselves towards a world we want to live in or sitting on the sidelines as passive critics or accidental tourists?

If this is resonating for you, join Louise and your fellow Members in a Circle, learn, contribute, collaborate, and play an active part in shaping our world of work and our futures.
