70+% of all professional development activities are “one touch opportunities” that focus on verbal, passive learning. But corporate communication is both verbal and nonverbal. In fact, experts believe more than 70% of our daily communication is non-verbal — and yet we rarely work on improving it.

Research also shows that 70% of all that information gained during an activity isn’t retained the next day if it’s not actively put into practice.

That means those seminars, escape rooms, ropes courses, and team dinners may be informative or fun, but they rarely move your business forward.

The alternative? An interactive, immersive experience.

At fullCIRCLE, your team starts with an offsite experience that challenges them to recognize and re-imagine the role of verbal and non-verbal communication with their peers.

By safely working unmounted with our trained horses and staff, we workshop in real time what it looks like to foster effective collaboration and lasting trust with the horses and each other (the unaddressed dynamics that really impact your team and business).

Then, we provide ongoing individual and team coaching for six months afterward to help everyone retain and continue implementing their takeaways. It’s time to re-imagine team development in a way that inspires lasting transformation.

The fullCIRCLE experience delivers real results

What your team or department accomplishes outside the office translates to better results inside the office.

Our product launch was directly influenced by this experience

“Our international team spent a full day with fullCIRCLE prior to multiple product launches. The way we showed up and interacted with each other was directly correlated with our experience at fullCIRCLE. This experience will transform your outcome.”

Tom Brandau

VP/GM of North America for Flow Controls in Emerson
A jaw-dropping experience

“fullCIRCLE’s experiential approach to professional development is profound. Watching the way teams interacted at fullCIRCLE was eye-opening and captured what hundreds of leadership books, articles, and workshops try to explain about our behavior in and out of the workplace. I walked away more present in conversations and more authentically showing up for myself and my team. The experience was so impactful that I chose to officially join the fullCIRCLE team, committed to helping others discover the same transformation.”

Carol Heaverlo

In-house Researcher
Nothing but positive feedback

“We are on our second year working with fullCIRCLE. Just like the first year, we received nothing but positive feedback. More importantly, Kim’s continued listening and incorporating our ideas to level up the experience the experience for our folks this year, too.”

Derek Vannice

Eocene Environmental Group
This unified us and led to breakthroughs

“The learning from each human-with-horse activity was relatable to business and relationships. Much of what our leadership team makes complex was simplified through learning alongside the horses and each other. It brought our leadership team together and unified us in a way that led to breakthroughs.”

Jen Moulton

President CEimpact
A Wonderful Experience

“Working with the horses in this setting at fullCIRCLE is like having an AI-powered mirror with infinite capacity to generate breakthrough self-awareness moments. I’ve witnessed my least self-aware teammates suddenly grasp how their presence, actions, and words impact others, driving lasting behavior change.”

Developing leaders one immersive experience at a time

We offer both half-day and full-day experiences to meet your team’s objectives. No matter which path you choose, every engagement kicks off with an off-site experience here at fullCIRCLE. Then, your growth continues with virtual individual and team coaching sessions to help everyone activate what they learned.

The Half-Day Experience

Perfect for teams of 10 or less
In this focused session, your team will engage in hands-on activities that foster collaboration, build trust, and spark self-awareness. It’s ideal for leaders of teams of 10 or less looking to create meaningful impact without a full-day commitment.

The Full-Day Experience

Designed for teams of 11 or more

A full day is ideal for teams of 11 or more, as it provides the time needed for everyone to slow down and fully engage in the activities. With additional time, your team can dive deeper into collaboration, reflection, and personal growth.

Executive Coaching

High performance got you here.
Continued growth will take you further.

Our Executive Coaching helps leaders like you through real conversation, deep reflection, and intentional action. So when challenges come full circle, you’ll meet them head-on.

Nervous about being around horses? Completely understandable. Our horses are gentle, and all experiences are unmounted, so no one rides during our time together. Horse allergies can be accommodated.

Experience the fullCIRCLE difference

Not all team-building activities are created equal. Select an experiential leadership program that transcends just fun and passive learning.
