Peer Circles

What are Peer Circles?

Peer Circles are discussion groups, planned and facilitated by Susan, that meet regularly to advise, support, and possibly act with each other on a shared interest or purpose. Every Peer Circle is unique – groups form for a purpose and time-period defined by an organizer.

Each Peer Circle meeting is documented in a confidential report of notes and agreements provided to attendees.

Types of Circles

Peer Circles can be formed by many types of groups:

• CEOs & Founders – peer support for business leaders
• Cross-functional teams – Marketing + Engineering, Board + Operations
• Investors and Board – alignment on vision and governance
• Community Collaborations – policies, programs, shared initiatives
• Value chain partnerships – logistics and supply chain alignment
• Issue-focused groups – addressing specific challenges or themes

How It Works

Formation: Groups are organized around a shared purpose, with clear policies and participant invitations.

Frequency: Circles can meet weekly, monthly, or on a schedule that fits the group. Commitments typically span six months to a year.

Size: Membership is limited to 10 or fewer participants per circle. Larger groups can be split into 4-6 person breakout circles.

Financial models can include fee per meeting, sponsored, donation, or pay-as-you-like arrangements.

Special Purpose Circles

Special purpose Peer Circles can be developed for collective experiences such as:

• Saving and lending circles
• Gifting initiatives
• Time-based community exchanges
• Collective investment groups
