An International Leadership Round Table
TheSircle is an international gathering for business leaders - a place of equality among the participants, a safe environment for disclosure and engagement where all visions are heard, yet none are favored.
TheSircle is a place to understand, clarify and simplify; a place to explore strategies and build; a place of integrity and respect, a place for true leaders to find co-creators and collaborators.
TheSircle represents the purpose, the metaphor and the philosophy of the legendary Round Table, where intellectually curious and culturally diverse executives explore ideas and new ventures.
TheSircle is built on the European tradition of the Salon, in which thinking and perspectives lead to confluence, collaboration and social progress.
Every session of TheSircle features a specific topic related to Leadership. Carlos Salum designs each experience focusing on exploring practical solutions to the daily concerns of the distinguished business leaders in attendance.
All events are by invitation.

From the Author: “This book was born at a table. The table was a place for shared presence, thoughtful people, good food, and unhurried conversation. It was a setting that allowed ideas to emerge naturally and people to think out loud with clarity and ease.
TheSircle Executive Club dinners grew from a belief that deep thinking, meaningful leadership, and personal breakthrough emerge through resonance. They develop when intelligent and curious individuals gather with intention, humility, and care for the quality of the conversation.
A Personal Origin Story
My motivation for creating TheSircle is both professional and personal.
I grew up in a family where conversation shaped understanding. Meals were moments of connection. Stories carried values. Different generations exchanged perspectives. Listening and speaking carried equal weight. The table served as a place where ideas matured through dialogue.
As my career expanded across leadership development, elite performance, executive strategy, and work with athletes, artists, and global business leaders, I observed a recurring pattern. Senior leaders often lacked space for reflection. Their decisions carried weight. Their conversations required depth. Their inner clarity shaped their external impact.
TheSircle Executive Club dinners emerged as a response to this need.
