Guidelines for setting up an Insights Circle

Guidelines for Setting up your Own Insight Circle:

1. Find and connect with local members
   • Reach out to your network and your network’s network: 5-8 people who you think would work well together and learn from each other
   • Can’t find enough? Email lindy.smart@aurorawdc.com for help
   • Share the Insights Circle Overview with your members so they can show the value to their leadership
2. Plan a meeting location that works best for everyone (consider a “rotating host” at each member’s organization if conference room space allows it)
3. Conduct your Kick-Off meeting
   • Email us for tools and templates to help facilitate your meetings
4. Meet regularly based on your Insights Circle preference
   • Examples: 1 month, 6 weeks, or 2 months recurring for a year
