SIMPLE™ Inner Circle

Why we're here

A safe, human-centered space for reflection, honest connection, and mutual support — not a metrics-driven accountability group.

We come to reconnect to purpose, to learn how SIMPLE is showing up in each other's real lives and work, and to hold ourselves lightly while we experiment toward who we're becoming. Accountability here is gentle and chosen: a question that matters to you, asked with care, between people who get it.

Recap · First self-guided circle

June 15, 2026

The session where we renegotiated what value looks like in this space.

What we agreed value is

This circle is a safe, human-centered space for reflection, honest connection, and mutual support — not a metrics-driven accountability group. We come to reconnect to purpose, to learn how SIMPLE is showing up in each other's lives and work, and to hold ourselves lightly while we experiment toward who we're becoming.

Ask me next time

Light-touch, self-chosen — each person's own question.

Crystal

Where have you gotten time back, and how?

Dee

Did I add, tweak, or experiment with any small systems in my work or life? What worked?

Matt Morasky

When and where did you ask a deeper question this month? What was the context and outcome?

Matthew Hall

Did you come to your reflections prepared this month — sitting with the questions in advance rather than on the fly? Where did that preparation change the depth of a conversation?

Mark

Did you take action on what you said mattered — and what moved as a result?

Kirsten

Am I taking small steps toward my new future? Am I holding myself lightly and experimenting?

What we're carrying forward

More depth and structure without losing the warmth: an agenda and reflection question sent in advance, brief check-ins to open each session, and a move toward peer-coaching formats — voluntary "hot seat" conversations, question-led exploration over advice-giving, and possibly Troika Consulting–style rounds. The connective thread: keep surfacing how SIMPLE actually lives in our work and relationships.
