WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING

“The most impactful parts of the Circle group for me are the inspiration and clarity it provides. Whether it comes in the form of an idea I haven’t considered, a creative solution to a problem, or simply the understanding of like-minded leaders that walk the same path. I leave every session stronger than I arrived.”
— Debbie Rodriquez Mar | Director of Operations, So Chic Salon Brands
“I didn’t know how much I needed this until I was in it. It’s 90 minutes of truly curated conversation to make sure that there’s an outcome. There’s always a celebration but then there’s also that lightbulb moment or that challenge that leaves you thinking - “Okay, I can do it better, or I can do this differently.” And it’s these incredible relationships that I wouldn’t have forged another way.”
— Megan Jasper | VP Operations, Gadabout Salons & Verve
“Our work gets lonely. It gets hard.It gets defeating. But when we’re together, we get lifted up. We formed trust so quickly because we are like minded - that’s the value of the group being curated. I so look forward to our time together, it is always relevant and relatable.”
— Sue Arens | Former President, Studio Be Salons
