CONNECT & REFLECT

Peer learning circles

A place to work through the real questions of DEI practice with people who understand the work.

People taking part in collaborative learning

Bring a question, not a polished answer

A policy that is not landing. A listening session that needs a better structure. A team that wants to take its next step. Peer circles create room for honest, specific conversations without turning colleagues into case studies.

How a circle works

We use a facilitated conversation with a clear purpose and shared agreements. Participants choose what they share and leave with one practical next step.

  • Open with a check-in and agree on confidentiality.
  • Name the question and the context that matters.
  • Listen before offering advice; distinguish questions from solutions.
  • Close with a next action and a time to reflect.

Who it is for

DEI practitioners, people leaders, employee resource group organizers, and colleagues responsible for inclusion in Seattle-area organizations. You do not need a particular job title to contribute.
