2025 Circl Impact Report
What makes us different
Leadership for All
Circl brings together experienced professionals and young future leaders in a coaching environment where both parties learn and grow. We break down barriers, ensuring leadership is accessible to everyone.
Real-World Coaching
Our programme is designed to equip individuals with essential coaching techniques that drive meaningful development in both young leaders and business professionals.
Measurable Social Impact
Circl partners with businesses to integrate leadership training with a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion—ensuring real, measurable impact in communities and workplaces.
"This mindset has influenced all my relationships—even as a parent. As a leader, it’s helped me give my team space to grow rather than solving things for them. It’s also given me the confidence to use my position to support others."
Samantha Owen, A.I Head of Zurich Community Trust

Association for Coaching Accredited Programme
We’re proud that Circl’s Leader as Coach programme is accredited by the Association for Coaching (AfC) — a globally respected professional body championing excellence, ethics, and impact in coaching and leadership.
This accreditation confirms that our programme meets AfC’s rigorous standards in coaching practice, design, and delivery — reflecting our commitment to high-quality, inclusive leadership development.
Why AfC Accreditation Matters:
Recognised global benchmark for coaching quality and integrity
Fully aligned with AfC’s Global Code of Ethics and professional standards
A testament to our dedication to impactful, inclusive leadership growth
What this means for you:
Participants complete an AfC-accredited training course and receive a certificate recognised by the Association for Coaching. While the course is accredited, individual participants are not awarded accreditation as coaches — instead, they develop coaching skills aligned with AfC’s professional standards.
