An evening given to recognising leadership as judged by those doing the same work. Recognition is decided within the membership rather than by submission or nomination volume.
Two
Who it is for
Who attends
Every signature experience suits a particular frame of mind as much as a particular seniority.
If you are
Judged by peers
Recognition carries weight because of who is giving it, not how it was applied for.
Nominated, not entered
There is no submission process. Members put forward the work they have seen.
Measured over time
Consideration reflects a body of work rather than a single year’s result.
Received in company
The evening is held among the membership, and is not a public occasion.
Three
Taking part
Before you attend
A short sequence, so that the time in the room is spent well.
1
Confirm your place
Places at the awards evening are held for members and released in order of confirmation. Confirming early secures the seat rather than the date.
2
Submit your themes
Members send the questions they want raised beforehand, so the programme is shaped by the room rather than presented to it.
3
Arrive unhurried
The most useful conversations tend to happen either side of the formal programme. Allow for them.
4
Carry it forward
Introductions made during the gathering are followed up by the Circle, so momentum is not left to chance.
Four
Register interest
Register interest in this occasion
Places are held for members, and interest is noted ahead of each occasion.
Registering interest carries no obligation and is not an application for membership.
