Discovery Circles
A supportive space in which everyone can change for Purposeful Cultures
Discovery Circles is intended to provide a space within which every team member makes the attitudinal changes required to support the organisational aspiration of a sustainable and purposeful culture. It's a small group program inspired by a 'book club,' where organisational leaders or team leaders facilitate discussions around the book Purposeful Cultures.
Each Discovery Circle group has a facilitator, supported by the Purposeful Cultures Facilitation Guide, and a video or two for each chapter of the book. This focuses the group’s work at a pace they can choose. We can provide a facilitator, groups can share facilitation, or the team leader may take this role.
Each member of the team receives their own copy of the Purposeful Cultures: A practical self-leadership guide book.
Program Aims:
Allow all team members to connect and feel supported as they evolve the culture together around the organisational purpose.
Identify personal strengths and values as a way of exploring our personal purpose at work and enhancing wellbeing.
Raise awareness of our unconscious assumptions about how work should be and whose job it is to ‘lead’, increasing participation and a sense of agency at work.
Develop interpersonal and communication skills that promote change and increase emotional intelligence.
Contribute to organisational culture for innovation, effectiveness, adaptability and resilience.
This program promotes solutions-focused thinking, empowering staff to enhance their contributions to work, the organisation, and its mission. Participants also gain insights benefiting their personal lives and volunteer activities.

Changing Naturally: A suite of programs
