The circle technique might just be the ultimate progress-focused technique. It encapsulates everything that makes progress-focused work so effective. The approach is simple and goal-oriented, focusing on making achieved progress and further desired progress visible. It's no surprise, then, that the circle technique has become one of the most beloved techniques among progress-focused professionals. In this booklet, you can read about how to easily use the circle technique in various situations. However, as straightforward as the technique is to understand and use, it doesn't mean there aren't deeper thoughts behind the approach. Hence, you can also read about the pieces of theory that underlie the technique. Coert Visser is a psychologist and trainer.
