Fueling Your Ambition

The Strategic Circle was born from the belief that ambitious founders deserve an unparalleled support system.

We know the fight alone is exhausting, and when you rant to friends or family, they ask you why you don’t just get a 'normal' job.

We decided to do something about it.

  • The Mission

    Our mission is to equip ambitious founders with an unwavering support system for the highs and lows of the entrepreneurial rollercoaster.

    We deliver this through a powerful blend of strategic coaching, curated peer boards, and exclusive experiences designed to unlock the clarity, connection, and growth needed to fuel their ambitions.

  • The Vision

    Our vision is simple: To be the leading, most effective support system where every female founder can achieve sustainable success without sacrificing their well-being.

    Growth is abundant.

    Vulnerability is welcomed.

    Support is real.

Our Unstoppable Pillars of Success

Every element of The Strategic Circle revolves around our three core pillars:

  1. Coaching: Dedicated 1:1 and group time with expert coaches who truly get you.

  2. Strategy: A clear roadmap, planning, and a tried-and-tested framework you actually want to follow.

  3. Peer Support: A safe, inspiring, perfectly curated peer group for cross-accountability and celebration.

Built on Credibility and Experience

The Strategic Circle is a sister company of Real World Consultancy (RWC), a multi-award-winning business with seven years of experience supporting over 1000+ business owners.

The Tried & Tested Approach

All our support revolves around the Ambitious Growth Model - a proven framework developed and refined over years of coaching.

An Approach Built for all brains

Not every successful founder's brain works alike.

Because we understand that learning, processing, and strategising happen differently, our structure is designed to be fully neurodivergent friendly.

We support the unique strengths of divergent thinkers by centring our framework on:

  • Structure, Not Rigidity,

  • Flexible Delivery,

  • Empathy and Understanding.

    We even have a specialist neurodivergent coach on our team.

It starts with Ambition

It grows with Strategy
