An Overview

 In just 90 days…the Circle of Success gives CEOs, managers, sales teams, and more the ability to generate unprecedented profit, create stellar companies, and live better lives while they do it.      

This dynamic, yearlong process is designed so you and your organization reach goals quickly.  Here is how you are guided and coached over the next 12 months to measurable, breakthrough results for both you and your company.

Please note that you can participate in the Circle of Success on your own, send individual employees, or we can bring the Circle of Success onsite to your company to work with key leaders and managers, teams, or your entire staff. Please ask us about these options.

The Circle of Success begins with an in-depth information gathering and personal assessment process. This is when you meet and begin working with your senior consultant on identifying your strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and obstacles, best qualities and blind spots. Every step of the way these senior consultants--all of whom have been CEOs, executives, and top management leaders of successful companies--are as committed as you are to achieving your goals.  This fully customized mentoring relationship and the Circle of Success process itself combine to quickly achieve measurable results of 20 percent of more. 

During Phase I your consultant will invite input from five to seven people that you identify as knowing you best--for better or worse--what we call your “Key Outside Influences.” This can be a mix of associates, management, staff, clients, vendors, family, friends, etc. We also get feedback from your direct reports and your supervisor.  Imagine finally knowing how people really perceive you and your ability to lead and manage. Results are delivered back to you by your senior consultant during Phase II, at your first Circle of Success workshop.  This is the first step in bringing who you are, what you do, and how you do it under the microscope. It is the first step in becoming your own and your company’s greatest asset.

   Includes 100 Customized SurveysDuring your year as a Circle of Success participant and client of JL White International, we will develop and conduct 100 fully customized surveys with the clients and vendors you specify. These surveys are compiled, mailed, and collected for you.  We then, with your permission, follow-up with each client and vendor by phone to gain more in-depth information and insights to help you: their purchasing schedules, and your selling opportunities; their customers, and your competition. You learn how to negotiate better terms, be the first to offer needed products and services, and more.  Learn where you succeed and where you can excel.  You can use this service anytime once you begin your yearlong Circle of Success process.    

Phase II:  Management and Leadership Development Workshop 

After completing Phase I, you are teamed with 12 to 16 executives from various industries—all at your level of experience and professional status—for a two and a half day workshop.  You begin right away to identify organizational and personal growth strategies specific to your areas of responsibility, concern, and desired improvement.  You are introduced to Real-Time-Results™ Checklists, 10-Minute-Turnaround Techniques, and DISC® language.  You also learn Essential Factors for Enhanced Performance, which includes specific personal and professional goals, action plans, timelines, control checklists, time-management exercises, and the Circle of Success’s acclaimed “9 Keys to Personal and Professional Success.”  In just 36 hours, you not only learn what needs to happen, but start taking strategic action.  Armed with a proven system for personal and organizational excellence, you leave knowing what you will do each week, each month, and each quarter of this yearlong process, as well as what you will do at 8:00 on Monday morning.  

Just two weeks after the workshop, you and your senior consultant will schedule a time to meet for a one-hour, one-on-one session to review your goals, action plans, and timelines established during the workshop. You will evaluate your progress so far, go over any questions, identify any unexpected hurdles, and clarify your path forward. If it is your employees participating in Circle of Success, they and the senior consultant will also meet with the participant's manager or supervisor to review the results of the workshop, the feedback session, and to perform a “gap analysis.” If necessary, this manager meeting will be followed by an additional review and coaching session, up to one hour in length, between the participant, his or her manager, and the senior consultant.

Six weeks after your original workshop, you will meet together again as a group with your senior consultant for a four-hour intensive coaching session.  During this accountability session, you will each report on progress toward all personal and organizational goals and actions plans established during the workshop. Within this supportive group dynamic you also practice key skills such as goal setting, running meetings, and holding people accountable.  You share insights, examine the effectiveness of certain strategies and tools, identify any barriers, and create specific timetables for results. Because you are all at the same organizational level, meeting together creates an ideal brainstorming and mentoring environment for particular issues or trouble spots.  You learn what’s working best from one industry to the next so that you can maximize your own efforts and results.  Your senior consultant will facilitate this entire session so that you receive a wealth of constructive input that is sorted, examined, and tailored to your individual goals and desired results.  You leave with individualized goals and action plans needed to produce results in the next 30 days.

You will continue to meet with your group and your senior consultant every three months after your original Circle of Success workshop.  Each of these fully facilitated, four-hour sessions is a time to examine progress toward your one-year goals, track successes, and create advanced strategies for continuing to move forward and overcoming any barriers.  Each of these sessions also provides one-on-one personal coaching time with your senior consultant to fine-tune each of your action plans and timelines.  Remember, participating in the Circle of Success will yield measurable results in as little as 90 days, so this first quarterly session will be a time to celebrate successes and harness the energy and confidence that comes with that success.  Your next goals—personal and professional—are clearly in sight and becoming a reality. 

One year after the original workshop date, all Circle of Success alumni will attend a one-day accountability and rewards session to share experiences and successes from the previous year and to revisit the key components of the Circle of Success. You and your fellow participants will review your one-year goals as well as the specific steps and corrective actions necessary to reach those goals. As you and the other participants now in the winner’s circle reveal which insights, strategies, and tools worked best at each step along the way, you add to your own ability to set and achieve ever larger and more meaningful goals for yourself, your company, your family, your community, and your world.  Achieving this level of mastery and self-sufficiency is the lasting legacy of the Circle of Success and your part in it. 

Phase VII:  Yearlong Executive Coaching ServicesOne of the greatest values of the yearlong Circle of Success management and leadership development process is the ongoing coaching support from your senior consultant.  In addition to the quarterly group sessions, you also receive up to 90 minutes of phone and/or e-mail support every month for twelve months.  Your senior consultant will be available at times of your choosing to assist with all issues and questions related to your goals, personal growth, organizational functions, and more.  www.jlwhiteinternational.com
