EVOLVING TOGETHER. STRONGER TOGETHER.
You’re invited to the 2026 Alumni Circle: now fully virtual and free to join for all past members of the Sales Leadership Roundtable and Women’s Leadership Circle. Connect with Jeff Shore, Amy O’Connor, and fellow homebuilding leaders to elevate your confidence, leadership, and career growth year after year.
The Executive Edge Engine.
Drawn from Shore Consulting’s Six Pillars of Leadership, The Executive Edge Engine drives all of the Alumni Circle programming, workshops, tools and strategies that we deliver to you throughout the year. It reflects the real challenges and opportunities shaping leadership in today’s dynamic homebuilding environment.
REVENUE GROWTH
Pillar #1
Sales is the engine that feeds the enterprise. Develop the strategies that create consistent, predictable sales in any market by aligning teams to a unified sales rhythm. Strengthen your ability to influence revenue, even without a sales title, by mastering leadership behaviors that drive sustained weekly performance across the entire enterprise.
PROFIT MAXIMIZATION
Pillar #2
The best homebuilders know how to protect and sustain steady margins in any market. Become the margin shield through disciplined pricing, cost control, and operational clarity. Learn to avoid the trap of chasing short-term highs that collapse later, positioning your organization for long-view profitability in shifting market conditions.
CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
Pillar #3
Great customer experience fuels trust and growth. Embrace a customer-first mindset by aligning people, processes, and communication to create a seamless homebuying journey. Understand how leadership decisions shape trust, fuel referrals, and elevate brand reputation, giving your company a competitive edge in every market.
INNOVATION & ADAPTABILITY
Pillar #4
Great customer experience fuels growth. Embrace a customer-first mindset by aligning people, processes, and communication to create a seamless homebuying journey. Understand how leadership decisions shape trust, fuel referrals, and elevate brand reputation, giving your company a competitive edge in every market.
TEAM BUILDING
Pillar #5
Successful builders build a culture where people thrive. Strengthen your capacity to attract, grow, and retain top talent by building an environment no one wants to leave. Shape the leadership habits that reinforce your employer reputation, foster trust across teams, and support consistent, scalable success throughout the organization.
CAREER ADVANCEMENT
Pillar #6
Managing your career requires more than doing great work. Position yourself for long-term career momentum by clarifying direction, seeking meaningful stretch opportunities, and making your value visible beyond daily performance. Balance loyalty with intentional growth as a respected leader in the homebuilding industry.

What Alumni Circle Members are Saying:
“The Alumni Circle has been a source of clarity and momentum in my leadership journey. It’s helped me think more strategically about how to drive performance, build culture, and lead through change. Whether it was shaping impactful training around discovery and urgency, leveraging AI to elevate coaching and consistency, or navigating the complexities of community turnarounds, the insights and peer collaboration have been invaluable. The Circle has challenged me to lead with greater intention and has accelerated both my growth and my team’s success.”
JAYMIE DIMBATH
Vice President of Sales, Pulte Homes
“The Alumni Circle strengthened relationships that were established during my years of the Women’s Leadership Circle as well as the Round Table and allowed me to continue in growth personally. The Alumni Circle brought new challenges and ideas to the surface that empowered me to make a change in my career and to pursue a promotion outside of the company I was with. I have since started a new role with a new company and I couldn’t be happier with the growth the Alumni Circle has pushed me towards.”
DANIELLE WALLACE
Director of Sales, Stanley Martin Homes
“The Alumni Circle has elevated every part of my career. It’s expanded my network with incredible sales leaders I can learn from, collaborate with, and count on. I come back year after year because it keeps me sharp—each session reconnects me with brilliant peers, grounds me in current trends, and pushes me to grow. I always leave inspired and energized, with pages of valuable takeaways, stronger relationships, and ideas I can immediately put into action. Some of my best breakthroughs have come straight from this group.”
AMBER RICHARD
VP of Sales & Marketing, Melia Homes
“Being part of the Alumni Circle community has opened me up to a much larger network, and I’ve realized how essential it is to surround yourself with the right people. Not just within your own team, but in your professional circle as a whole. What I love most is hearing from leaders across the country—people experiencing similar challenges, new trends, or entirely different situations that broaden your perspective. Being connected to others who truly understand what you’re facing makes all the difference.”

FAQ
