These findings underline the necessity for employees to feel connected to their co-workers, managers and organization at large in order to be productive.
Just look at our technology, economy, environment, and society. In this new world, our children will find opportunities beyond our imagination, but they will also face risks and stresses that we never confronted. The knowledge, strategies and tools that worked for prior generations no longer lead to success and security in today’s fast-paced world. Consequently, an increasing number of young people feel
disconnected from society and have little hope for future happiness. Soaring rates of social isolation, apathy, depression, suicide, drug use, and violence are the result. After all, in an unpredictable world, why bother?

Social, Relevance Approach
We believe that a society built upon the principle of connection in a group, and commited to seeing it realized will empower people and allow them to inegrate into the social fabric as contributing members. We will see a natural development of leadership, mutual responsibility, sensitivity and excellence.
The implementation of the principle of Group Connection through meaningful group learning has been shown to develop empathy and sensitivity towards others, giving one a sense of trust in oneself, and encourages the passing of learned values through shared norms of behavior.
He will be a person possessing intellectual curiosity and the motivation to continue to learn and teach throughout life. He will be well prepared for the world of the 21st century; a networked world of interdependent systems.”
The Circles Method™ has been applied to informal educational courses for educators, in centers for the development of teaching staff, and in a variety of schools
We believe in educators and see them as generational leaders and guides for change who are prepared to mold society. The Circles Method™ is applied in the training, support and guidance of educational staff. Teaching and administration teams pass through exceptional preparation during which they gain practical experience in one on one and group dynamics through interpersonal and emotional connections. The process has the ability to enhance any group of educators as they learn to form positive interactions between themselves and consequently with the children.
