The Circle is Not for Everyone
But it might be exactly what YOU are looking for.
"Heavy is the Head that Wears the Crown"
The Circle is a space designed for leaders—those carrying the weight of big decisions, high expectations, and constant demands. It’s where you’ll find others who understand what that truly feels like. In this group, you'll join a carefully curated group of high achievers—people with deep experience and insight who are here to both give and receive support. Think of it as your personal board of advisors: a trusted space to share challenges, exchange ideas, and gain perspective.
You’ll also receive private one-on-one coaching with Scott De Long, Ph.D.—a seasoned entrepreneur who has built and exited three successful companies and now coaches some of the most dynamic business leaders across the country. But make no mistake: this only works if you’re ready to show up fully. Curiosity, vulnerability, and a willingness to contribute are essential. If you're open to growing alongside others, The Circle can help you lead with more clarity, confidence, and purpose.

About The Circle
A new opportunity for business leaders that fall within our criteria to have a reliable sounding board. If you’re looking to engage with seasoned professionals who will challenge your assumptions, share real-world expertise, and support your growth both personally and professionally—this might be the right fit. The Circle is an invitation-only group of 10 members who are vetted by both the facilitator and their peers, combining elements of EO, YPO, Vistage, and MBA programs, along with one-on-one coaching from a highly regarded executive coach.
VISION
We see a place where the leaders of today have transformed their lives. Not just in the workplace but at home as well. These leaders have adapted their current strengths, but have added progressive leadership concepts to their hectic lives. Their businesses are thriving, and they are mentoring the future leaders. Their personal lives have become fulfilled and they have redefined the word success. While success still includes financial success, it has expanded to include so much more.
MISSION
We offer senior executives a place to unload the stress with which they alone are challenged. We offer a place where they can learn and grow, both professionally and personally, through interaction with others in the same boat.
CORE VALUES
CURIOSITY • WILLINGNESS • COURAGE • INTEGRITY
