Opening Circle

Connect Circle Reminders

Introduce yourself
Hold stories in confidence
Listen with empathy and curiosity
Hold the "rim" of the circle together with trust and security
Look to your Leader as the center of the Connect Circle process.

Your Team Leader will ask one of the following questions:

- What’s the hardest decision you’ve had to make professionally or personally and what did you learn from it?


- What’s a professional weakness you’ve been avoiding working on, and what’s really holding you back?


- Describe a time you felt insecure or inadequate at work. How did it affect your behavior, and what did you learn?


- What’s a piece of feedback you received that was hard to hear—but ultimately made you better?


- When was the last time you felt resentful or frustrated with this team, and what could we have done differently?


- What’s something you’re afraid to admit about your work or role that you think others might not understand?

How can you meaningfully share your response with your team members?
