Resources For Action Circle Convenors

"A leader is anyone who wants to help, who is willing to step forward to create change in their world. The leaders we need are already here." - Margaret Wheatley

Our role at Be The Change is help you lead a Circle with ease and confidence, and so we have developed a comprehensive package of resources to support you in your Convenor role.

Of course, every Circle is different and each Convenor has their own style, so please feel free to experiment and do what feels best for you. Please do report back to us as you continue to experiment and grow.

To get your Action Guide and get your Circle started use the CDN or US Order Form and email to the office.  The Module, or discussion topic,  materials are itemized on the form as well and we will have these items shipped to the address you provide on the order form.  Shipping is variable so we will email you a completed form with the exact amount prior to charging your card.

Here are some materials which you can download which will guide you through the process of convening an Action Circle from showing others what a Circle can be, to entering your Actions into the online Action Tracker:
