Blend Leadership Circle: Chicago
The Leadership Circle is a confidential, member-led session designed to support you in real time. In this 75-minute conversation, Blend members bring live leadership challenges to the group and receive reflection, insight, and advice from peers who understand the stakes… because they’ve been there too.
Facilitated by Blend’s Head of Chicago Community, Alex Draper, the session is grounded in trust and psychological safety. Members will share their current dilemmas, followed by structured group reflection. Through questions, resonance, and practical suggestions, we’ll surface new perspectives and help each other find the clarity to move forward.
Whether you’re sharing or listening, you’ll leave feeling more connected, inspired, and supported – reminded that in the toughest moments of leadership, your next move might come from someone else’s story.
Alex Draper is a leadership development expert and founder of DX Learning, an organisation dedicated to building emotionally intelligent, people-first workplaces.
With a background in education and global leadership development, Alex has spent his career helping organisations eradicate workplace toxicity and create cultures where people and performance thrive.
