The Circle of Reciprocity

In short, The Circle of Reciprocity is a way of being in relationship, with ourselves and with those around us. 

It is built on a simple premise: how we show up in relationship shapes what becomes possible.

In many environments, communication is treated as a set of techniques, what to say, how to say it, when to say it. While those things matter, they are not enough. The quality of our conversations is shaped by the beliefs we hold, our capacity to stay present, and the ways we respond to one another in real time. The Circle of Reciprocity brings these elements together. Together, these form a practice, a way of being.

The word reciprocity helps us recognize that we are always influencing and being influenced. What we bring into a conversation, our attention, our assumptions, our willingness, shapes what others are able to bring as well.

When we shift how we show up, the conversation shifts.
When the conversation shifts, the relationship shifts.
