Looking Back & Taking Stock: Leadership

How you lead your clients, your teams, your family, and your community are all important benchmarks for our Inner Circle leaders. You see, we aren’t just a group of people looking for leads and referrals. We are compassionate, energized, and focused leaders who want to give as much as we get and live our best lives. 

People First 

As business owners you know: It’s hard to continue to grow while paying fair wages, acquiring the best people, and offering clients competitive pricing. 

  • The Inner Circle is dedicated to educating our leaders on topics like pay transparency, culture-building, and empowering rising stars to lead. Members have created a movement supporting nonprofit leaders in our Inner Circle Initiative. 

  • The Inner Circle offers its leaders a platform to lead and share their knowledge. Our monthly Leadership Lunches help all attendees – both members and guests – by sharing information and insights that give all leaders a holistic view of the business landscape within which they are working, whether it’s from the standpoint of an entrepreneur, a high-level leader in a large organization, or a solopreneur who has designed their life the way they want. 

  • The Inner Circle gathers members around member-driven squads that focus on a particular industry or target clientele, and work to help all members get new business through referrals and team-based opportunities. 

  • Our Platinum and Diamond Level members attend a monthly Mastermind Meeting to share transformational relationships, troubleshoot business issues, and get advisory board-level feedback. These are top leaders in their industries, CEOs and consultants who are the best in their field. 

Picturing Progress

Outside of the Inner Circle, our member companies are now poised to go out to other communities and speak, sponsor, and lead with confidence and clarity because they've built up their brand. 

We prioritize recognizing and celebrating our leaders because it’s hard out there! Twice-yearly awards, including The Integrity Award, Most Deals Done, Most Connected, and Rookie of the Year are voted on by membership and granted to stand-out leaders. These awards mean something to our members who work hard to show one another their leadership excellence. 

We encourage our members to talk about their wins, their challenges, and their needs in our meetups, as well as in 1:1 connections. Perfection over progress is one of the main guides for our leaders who know that it’s not a straight road to their goals. The Inner Circle supports authors, speakers, tech startups and more, giving all our leaders exposure to different perspectives. 

Best Practices In Leadership 

Showing up is key! Being a better human and showing kindness daily is key. Nurturing relationships is essential to long-term success. Our leaders iron out wrinkles when working with each other, solving problems together and allowing their humanity to be part of the collective community.

Our leaders want to meet you! Come check out an event, and see why they’re so special. It’s the most inclusive exclusive community online!
