Start a Circle

"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.  Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.  Begin it now. " – JW Goethe

Starting an Action Circle is a bold and powerful way to Be the Change. We call those who start a circle “Circle Convenors,” and we honour them highly.

Isolation and disconnection are huge obstacles to change, so the act of bringing people together is a vital part of the solution. Anyone can be a Circle Convenor, and Be the Change will be here to support you throughout the process.

Be BOLD ... begin it NOW!

Here's the basic steps for beginning an Action Circle:

  • The Circle Convenors Overview contains the ideas and steps for creating an Action Circle ... get it, follow it, get in touch with us, we're here to help!
  • The Website Reference Guide will help you step-by-step in using the online resources we have here for you
  • Email us and we'll set up your Circle, and the system will notify you when that is complete
  • The Be The Change Promo will help you explain the what, why, and how of an Action Circle as you contact your friend, family and colleagues to Be The Change with you
  • Host a social Be The Change Info meeting ... call or email us and we'll be there to host this with you
  • Have the Circle enter weekly Actions into the Action Tracker.  This is such a vital part of the process for this gives you and us statistical measurements for the change we affect by our Actions!
  • Remain committed to your role as Convenor for approximately 8 sessions
  • Host a final Celebration Meeting
  • Open dialogue to further 'change' ... including choosing the next module, at which point the Convenor role may rotate to a different member of the circle
