"The circle is a profound and powerful way
to help promote equality, inclusiveness, and shared leadership by removing barriers and
facilitating and fostering open and real, honest communication, with a positive purpose,
in an
atmosphere of mutual respect and safety."
....Susan Barak"To me, the "life
skills circle" represents a journey that we choose to
embark upon as we explore ourselves and our relationships with others in
hopes of finding a sound "Quality of Life" in both our Personal and
Professional Development. Our understanding and desires to use the elements
in our daily lives affords us the opportunities to achieve a peace and
fullfillness in Body, Mind and Spirit."
...Doug Dennison
"Personally I think the circle is a profound
representation of a philosophy that respects equality, inclusiveness, and a willingness to
share leadership...plus it's just easier to see everybody !"
...Steve Burgess
"Visual images have great power to represent meaning. I
think the circle is a
tremendously useful and strong image. I have used circles in a venn diagram
in my own logo. To me, a circle represents many things, some already
expressed: wholeness, completeness, independence, integration, cycles of
life, belonging, inclusion, collaboration, equity, balance. And, from a
somewhat different perspective, I think that it can also be used to
interpret boundaries, shared/agreed upon frames for work or of
vision/understanding, rigour...and flexibility. Thanks for the opportunity to reflect on
this!"
... John J. O'Brien
"The circle is a rich metaphor and for me it also
denotes the idea of structure and a boundary on the edge and inside lots of room to
manouvre to be flexible, spontaneous, an individual. I love to be implusive,
creative, intuitive, and spontaneous and structure is what allows me to do that most
effectively."
