Leadership can be incredibly rewarding, and at times, a little lonely. Even the most experienced leaders benefit from having the space to step away from the day-to-day, reflect on the bigger questions and share perspectives with others who understand the challenges of leading an organisation.
The Executive Leadership Circle brings together a small group of experienced CEOs and senior leaders who share a belief that there is always more to learn.
Created by Pure Executive in collaboration with Minnie Moll, the Circle offers a unique combination of peer learning, executive coaching, fresh perspectives and time to think.
It's an opportunity to invest in yourself as a leader, build meaningful connections and explore new ways of thinking, within a supportive and confidential environment.
The experience
Time and space to focus on your leadership
Over 12 months, the Executive Leadership Circle brings together 10–12 experienced leaders, with just one participant from each organisation.
Through a carefully designed combination of facilitated discussions, individual coaching, expert insights and shared experiences, the programme creates opportunities to reflect, challenge your thinking and grow as a leader.
Your experience will include:
- A trusted peer community – meaningful conversations and shared learning with leaders from different organisations and sectors.
- Executive coaching – six individual coaching sessions with Minnie Moll, providing dedicated time to explore your personal leadership priorities.
- Leadership forums and masterclasses – a blend of online and in-person sessions, bringing fresh thinking and practical perspectives.
- An immersive leadership retreat – an opportunity to step away, deepen relationships and reflect on your leadership with the support of an experienced leadership coach.
The programme is designed to complement the demands of a busy leadership role, creating valuable time for reflection, connection and personal development.
Meet Lynn & Minnie
Different experiences. A shared belief in the value of learning.
The Executive Leadership Circle has been developed by Lynn Walters and Minnie Moll, bringing together two complementary perspectives on leadership.
Lynn has spent more than 30 years working alongside business leaders and boards, supporting leadership development, succession, board effectiveness and organisational growth. She brings an understanding of the challenges facing senior leaders, alongside a passion for helping people realise their potential.
Minnie brings extensive experience of leading complex organisations, including her time as CEO of the Design Council. As an experienced leader and coach, she understands first-hand the demands, pressures and opportunities that come with senior leadership.
Together, Lynn and Minnie have created a programme that combines practical leadership experience, individual development and the collective wisdom of a trusted peer group.
“We believe that great leaders never stop learning. However experienced we become, there is always value in stepping back, sharing perspectives and finding new ways to grow, while staying true to who we are.”
