November flagship edition
Beyond the Competence Trap.
A curated CI3 experience for capable professionals ready to turn strength into visibility, trust, influence, and lasting impact.
The November edition is a Curated Leadership Experience: a founder frame, author and ideas panel, six small-capacity Leadership Circles, participant intake, registration pathway, and follow-up logic in one connected design.
Minimum $49.99 registration contribution

Recommended assessments
Name the pressure pattern before the event, not before intake.
The Competence Trap Wheel gives participants language for the leadership pattern that may be creating pressure, drag, invisibility, or stalled influence. The Ethical Drift Compass shows where judgment bends when the pressure is on.
Both are recommended before the November CLE, but neither is a registration gate. You can reserve your seat first and complete them later before entering the room.
Your leadership under pressure.
25 questions. 5-7 minutes. A practical pattern result you can use before entering the room.
Open the Competence Trap Wheel ↗Curated Leadership Experience
Access is not enough. The experience has to be curated.
CLE is the part of CI3 where people actually do things: move through the Competence Trap Wheel, complete diagnostics, submit participant intake, register, join the event experience, and continue into community experiences.
The November edition uses CLE to make every part of the day work together: the diagnostic creates language, the intake shapes the room, the registration flow confirms participation, the event creates the shared experience, and the community pathway keeps the work alive after the day ends.
- 01See the pattern
The Competence Trap Wheel and diagnostic help participants name the leadership pattern creating pressure, drag, or invisibility.
- 02Bring a real question
Participant intake captures leadership challenges, circle preferences, and the question each person wants help clarifying.
- 03Secure the pathway
Registration makes participation clear, trackable, and intentional before the event experience begins.
- 04Enter the curated room
The event experience combines founder framing, author insight, faculty voices, and six intimate Leadership Circles.
- 05Continue the work
Participants leave with language, reflection, and follow-up pathways into community experiences, clinics, diagnostics, and future CI3 support.
Leadership Circles
Six circles, each shaped around a different leadership pressure point.
Each circle is designed as a curated, intimate conversation with 3 faculty voices and 7 registrants. The November edition stays at six circles, with 42 registrant seats distributed across those rooms so every participant is placed into a smaller, high-trust conversation.
Announced faculty are named here. Attendance is confirmed separately through the admin portal after each invited person registers. Full circle descriptions, faculty line-ups, and reflection questions live on the Leadership Circles page.

The day, in one arc
Framing, ideas, circles, harvest, next steps.
The November agenda is a guided pathway, not a schedule of talks. The full session-by-session agenda, with the purpose and expected outcome of each block, lives on its own page.
Arrive and frame
Founder framing and the author panel put shared language around the Competence Trap before the real work starts.
Work the circles
Ninety minutes in your chosen Leadership Circle: three faculty, seven registrants, one honest question.
Harvest and continue
The room closes by turning circle insight into next steps, follow-up pathways, and the connections worth keeping.
Sponsor November
Help shape the room, not just fund the room.
Sponsorship supports the November CLE as a curated leadership experience: the circles, access seats, participant value, event atmosphere, and the follow-up pathway that helps people keep moving after the evening ends.

Questions before you register
A few things worth knowing up front.
Is the $49.99 minimum a suggestion or a floor?Open
It's a hard minimum. Contributions below $49.99 aren't accepted. There's no cap above it if you'd like to contribute more.
Can I get a refund after I register?Open
No. All registration contributions are non-refundable once paid.
Where is the November CLE happening?Open
The event is in Ottawa, Ontario. The exact venue is being finalised and will be announced before the end of August.
Can I attend virtually?Open
Partly. The Author Fireside Chat is streamed live and free on Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube, so you can watch that from anywhere. The rest of the edition is not streamed. Being in the room is what you pay for, at the $49.99 minimum, and it is the part that cannot be streamed: small circles, and ninety minutes of the kind of long, honest conversation that only happens face to face. Faculty attend free.
