The Coaches Circle Is Back in Person
On November 5–6, 2026 at the 1818 Club in Metro Atlanta, GA the Coaches Circle is back in-person and your seat is waiting.
We believe November is the perfect time to look forward to what 2027 holds for you. So after you register, you’ll receive a Pre-Circle Activity to help you find your Word of the Year for 2027.
This activity will help you to set your compass for what’s ahead in the new year. You’ll arrive with your word in hand (and in heart) and leave with tools, connections, and clarity to live it out in 2027.

A Circle That Stays With You
Right before the entire world experienced a global pandemic, Coaches from all over came together in one room for the Coaches Circle in Asheville, NC — for two days of learning, connection, and the kind of conversations that only happen when the right tribe is in the same room together.
The theme for our 2019 Coaches Circle was 20/20 Vision. Little did we know that the world was about to change in a few short months.
As pre-work for this Circle, each Coach created a 2020 Vision Board to share with their Circle.
As I replay the session in my mind’s eye, I can see their passion and excitement as they talked about their vision boards. In hindsight, it is so refreshing to see how these visions survived the challenges they would face in the months ahead.
COVID did not stop their vision from becoming a reality.
One Coach left their corporate role and started their own coaching practice. Another Coach attended and graduated from seminary. Another Coach’s vision board revealed she wasn’t spending her time and energy on what mattered most, and she’s living a different life today!
Since that time, our virtual Coaches Circles have kept the flame lit, but there’s nothing like sharing a room with your tribe. So, we are getting back together!
