  • Form your Circle – Choose your own group: colleagues, friends, or new contacts. Tip: You can also find learning partners easily in the WOL® Community on LinkedIn.

What is a WOL® Circle?

A WOL® Circle is a small, self-organized learning group of 3–5 people who meet for one hour each week over 12 weeks. Guided by the Circle Guides – a clear, step-by-step program with exercises, prompts, and reflections – you each work on your own personal goal.
Along the way, you’ll reach out to experts, learn from others, increase your visibility, and connect with people who share your interests. More info: connecting-humans.net/working-out-loud-circles

Why this Starter Kit makes sense right now

Maybe you’ve heard of Working Out Loud® (WOL®) – or even taken part before – but at the moment, there’s no program in your company or publicly via Connecting Humans.
With the Self-Starter Kit, you can start right away: strengthen your network, build visibility, get to know your strengths, and take this journey together with others. No waiting. No complicated sign-up. Just find 2–4 other participants – and go!

What's included in the Self-Starter Kit


  • The current WOL® Circle Guide – step-by-step instructions for all 12 weeks
  • Personalized for you – your Guide will feature your name and your Circle’s name or number
  • 6-month usage rights – valid from the date you receive your kit
  • Moderation support – tips and guides for leading each of the 12 weekly sessions
  • Inspiration that sticks – exercises on goal-setting, visibility, self-efficacy, and networking to create lasting change in your daily life
  • Practical advice – how to handle group dynamics and overcome challenges
  • Optional extra – join a 30-minute WOL® Circle Kick-off Session, in English with John Stepper or in German with Katha Krentz

At the end of your 12 weeks…


  • … you’ve completed an entire WOL® Circle on your own initiative.
  • Every participant has worked toward a personal goal – and made real progress, or even achieved it, with the support of the group.
  • …you’ve picked up skills you’ll use for life: setting and reflecting on goals, building your network, increasing your visibility, and more.
  • …you’ve created connections that will last long after the program ends.

Good to know

  • It helps if at least one person in your Circle already has WOL® experience to guide the group through the 12 weeks.
  • We don’t match participants – Circles work best when you put them together yourself.
  • One invoice will be issued to a single person in the Circle. You can split the cost among yourselves (it’s tax-deductible as professional development), but the invoice can only be made out to one name.

Within 7 days of purchase, you’ll receive access to your personalized Circle Guide, valid for 6 months from delivery.
Take your chance now: Start your WOL® Circle independently of public or company-run programs – and experience how inspiring shared learning can be!
