I have been a member of The CEO Circle since 2009 and I would like to say thank you, and congratulate you and your team on the professionalism, organisation and quality of the meetings. I have participated in a number of different group meetings and all have been chaired professionally and provided excellent shared knowledge and networking opportunities. The value for me is derived from the opportunity to discuss with fellow CEOs the same challenges, opportunities and market conditions I must manage. The ability to be a mentor and advisor to others, the networking opportunities and the leadership and drive of all involved in The CEO Circle. You have built an excellent community of leaders and it is a pleasure to be part of The CEO Circle. Thank you for your commitment, dedication and passion to seeing us all succeed! "

When economic times are tough, often the pressure to cut expenses can mean losing value in the areas of need. The CEO Circle provides a place to not only learn about other people's lives and business circumstances during successful and less successful times, it also provides immense support for one another when we need it most.

I have been a member of The CEO Circle now for many years and greatly enjoy and value the benefits that this organisation offers. It has been an excellent opportunity to share experiences with a group of talented Senior Executives and benefit from their collective wisdom in a totally confidential environment. The CEO Circle gives you the unique ability to participate with a trusted group of fellow executives on a regular basis but also the flexibility of attending other groups if business commitments get in the way. This access to a broader network both locally and interstate has been invaluable and continues to prosper. "

In my capacity as CEO of a large retail organisation, I am a member of a number of networking and mentoring associations for senior executives. I have been a member of The CEO Circle® since June 2005 and find it one of the most rewarding associations to which I belong. The CEO Circles are stimulating and challenging, and the dinners are outstanding with a high calibre of guest speakers. I particularly enjoy mixing with my peers and being able to freely discuss issues and share ideas within a confidential environment. "

I have been a member of The CEO Circle for more than 5 years. I have found The CEO Circle to provide a professional and positive environment to share experiences and develop professionally and personally. The strength of The CEO Circle is a combination of the professional organisation of meetings and the high quality of the members and Chairmen. I am sure that The CEO Circle will continue to provide members a valuable resource for their continuing career and professional development. "

In business, the best growth opportunities are in exploiting 'white space': the cracks between the areas we always tend to focus on. Ideas, advice and stimuli come from being with great people from a diversity of backgrounds in a trusted setting. The CEO Circle achieves all these. Personal success also comes from making time to maximise personal and professional development as well as running the business, again The CEO Circle has been invaluable. "

As a CEO with a social enterprise not for profit organisation, my experience is sometimes very different from the other members of The CEO Circle, but in some ways that makes it all the more valuable. Our differences are areas of valuable exploration that I trust and learn from. Our similarities surround the professional and personal impacts that our roles demand of each of us. The generosity of The CEO Circle members in sharing their insights both personal and professional is made possible because of the integrity and calibre of the members as well as the professionalism of The CEO Circle approach.

I have been a member of The CEO Circle since soon after its establishment in Sydney and find the involvement and especially the relationships formed extremely beneficial, both professionally and personally. As a CEO in the Not for Profit Sector with 25 years experience, I value the opportunity to learn from peers in the commercial world and to share insights from my perspective. The value of the confidentiality of the meetings and exposure to significant collective wisdom and experience cannot be overstated. Membership of The CEO Circle over all this time has been a constant source of learning, encouragement and support. "
