VisionCircle

Initiator's Kit

The importance of example

Members of VisionCircles who have had their vision selected are invited to commence a new VisionCircle for whom you are their mentor.

It is reasonable that those attempting to commence their own VisionCircle will use their experience with you and the way you invited them to their first meeting as a role model upon which to base their activities.

Setting an appropriate example is very important. Some of the elements of "good example" include:

  • Selecting an appropriate venue and resolving any food and beverage issues
  • Sensitivity to raising the VisionCircle concept: no pressure, no hard sell
  • Effective and honest communications about the purpose of the meeting and its logistics
  • A meeting run effectively, warmly, with no tensions or conflicts and run in a tolerant and politically correct manner
  • A warm and welcoming approach to all invitees
  • Probing of level of interest in the concept conducted in an unthreatening and unpressured manner
  • Respect shown of all attendees
  • Respect shown of the VisionCircle Foundation presenter
