Fostering Leadership Growth with a Holistic Approach
About the Circle of Growth
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Circle of Growth is a leadership operating system that blends personal mastery with strategic execution. We design coaching, programs, and tools that help leaders and teams turn intent into traction—clarify what matters, align people and resources, and deliver measurable results that last.
Created by Theodore “Teddy Bear” Schiele (veteran and CEO of Schiele & Associates), the Circle is purpose-built to be people-centered, adaptable, and outcome-driven—not theory for the shelf, but frameworks you can use Monday morning.
Our mission is simple: forge stronger leadership, smarter strategy, and greater impact—so growth isn’t random, it’s repeatable.
Vision
Our vision is a bold, future-focused world where every leader ignites positive transformation. We see empowered changemakers across corporations, startups, youth groups, faith communities, and nonprofits collaborating to build thriving, values-driven cultures. By defining where we’re headed – not just what we do today – we align our teams and partners toward an inspiring future. In that future, integrity and innovation fuel an ever-expanding network of growth-minded individuals who lift each other and their organizations higher.
Mission
Our mission is to empower corporate teams, entrepreneurs, youth leaders, churches, and nonprofits to become visionary, purpose-driven leaders. We deliver immersive, group-based experiences that grow leadership skills, deepen relationships, and reinforce positive culture. Through hands-on leadership development, dynamic business simulations, and intentional culture design, we equip participants to innovate, collaborate, and adapt. In short, we define exactly what we do and why it matters – creating high-integrity impact and growth for every community we touch
Core Values
Our core values are the engine for real results. Self-Awareness means knowing your strengths, gaps, and impact. Courage is choosing the hard right over the easy wrong. Humility keeps you coachable and curious. Integrity is doing what you said you’d do—especially when no one’s watching. Leadership sets the direction and lifts others. Execution turns clarity into shipped outcomes. Put together, they form a loop: know yourself, make the bold call, stay teachable, keep your word, grow the team, and deliver—repeat.
