Circle & Square has been in the business of humanising organisations since 2002. We enable a space for personal mastery for all employees. Following a leader-led approach, we create a culture of human connection, resonance, empathy, engagement, resilience, and high performance. In a world of ongoing and significant disruption, we build capabilities for leaders and teams to be resilient and channel change positively.
Our inspiration comes from applied psychology, cutting-edge research, homegrown philosophy, and two decades of experience. Our differentiator is the experienced people, who believe in the Circle & Square philosophy and live this in their personal and professional lives. Our passion and expertise lie in our ability to deliver psychological insights and skills in a simple yet profound manner, providing experiential learning through engagement that allows for thinking, opportunities to share, and reflection which enables insights and behaviour change. We know that insight alone is not enough to change behaviour and for that reason, we encourage opportunities for practice. Our solutions are not one size fits all, but designed in a client-centric way through engagement to ensure that our offerings answer the need of our clients.
Circle and Square is jointly owned by Global Business Solutions and Joint Prosperity that allows for integrated solution design
propositions across HR, Labour and Employment Relations, Leadership Development, BBBEE, EE, Skills Development and
Labour Law. Global Business Solutions is a leading national labour law, human resources and business consultancy with a
track record of more than 30 years. It is 51% black women-owned and a QSE with a BBBEE level 2 verification.
Joint Prosperity is a vibrant people and business consulting company established in 2000. It believes that the effective
execution of strategy is leadership and people related. Holding this premise, it partners with leadership and organisations to
help improve the effectiveness and execution of their strategy by unleashing the power of their business through their people.

WHAT WE DO
Circle & Square is a learning solutions company focusing on consulting, training, facilitation and coaching on an individual, team and
organisational level across the employee life cycle. We take a case-by-case approach to fully understand the key business drivers so as
to translate these into critical behavioural competencies necessary for high performance, trust and overall employee engagement. Our
empirical approach gently guides employees, leaders and teams away from the comfortable four corners of the room and into a mutual
space of productive personal mastery.

CIRCLE & SQUARE METHODOLOGY
Our ISO learning methodology is unique and has been successfully implemented yielding improved people performance,
enhanced business performance, and change enablement. The Circle & Square ISO learning methodology turns the
process of learning on its head. Instead of starting with the knowledge component, our teaching places the experience
first. Experiential learning allows people to see how what they are being taught applies in their lives and interactions with
others. Circle & Square engages participants in learning that inspires understanding and internalisation, thereby improving
transfer of learning and on-the-job application.
The approach we follow shifts participants and organisations by raising their consciousness to allow for reflection, and
provides psychological insights that result in enhanced, sustainable attitudinal and behavioural change. In creating a
willingness to improve self-awareness, insight and reflection, the principles of the training are transferred from the training
room to the work environment.
