What Landmark Worldwide does

Landmark Worldwide is a private, for-profit personal and professional growth, training, and development company headquartered in San Francisco and operating across more than 125 cities in over 20 countries. The company serves both individual consumers seeking personal transformation and corporate clients, delivering a portfolio of programs anchored by The Landmark Forum — a flagship three-day course delivered in person and online — and extended through the Advanced Course, Self-Expression and Leadership Program, Communication Programs, Master Class Series, Evening Seminar Series, Personal Coaching, the Landmark Training Academy, and the Wisdom Area. The curriculum is built on a proprietary transformative learning methodology organized around trademarked distinctions such as Already Always Listening, The Vicious Circle, Rackets, and Peace of Mind, and is delivered by more than 760 leaders worldwide, each typically trained for approximately two years before leading programs.

Landmark monetizes through four distinct streams: one-time program tuition ranging from $250 (Self-Expression and Leadership Program) to $1,150 (Advanced Course), a $39/month Landmark Subscription with a 12-month minimum commitment that bundles live seminars, on-demand content, subscriber-only events, AI tools, and course discounts for graduates, one-to-one Personal Coaching at $3,400 for a 10-session engagement, and corporate consulting delivered through Vanto Group, a wholly owned subsidiary named by Forbes as one of America's Best Management Consulting Firms in 2025. Annual participation exceeds 193,000 people across 6 continents, with a cumulative graduate community of more than 3.5 million. Customer acquisition is driven primarily by free introduction events, the LandmarkConnect community platform, and referrals from the existing graduate base rather than paid advertising.

The company is 100% employee-owned through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan covering over 600 employees, with no external private equity, venture capital, or institutional ownership. The executive team reports to a board elected annually by the ESOP. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. In 2025 the company celebrated 30 years as an industry leader and neared completion of a four-year organizational transition described in its press materials as "difficult, yet transformational." Shane Royce serves as President.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Skillsoft: Skillsoft is a large enterprise learning and development platform offering digital courses, microlearning, and leadership development content sold via subscription to corporate buyers. It overlaps with Landmark's corporate and subscription strategy but addresses the broader, less transformational L&D market at much larger scale.
• Korn Ferry: Korn Ferry is a large organizational consulting and leadership development firm that offers executive coaching, assessment, and learning solutions to enterprise clients. It overlaps with Vanto Group's corporate consulting and leadership development offering, though Korn Ferry operates at much larger scale across a broader HR/talent portfolio.

Direct peers

• Hay House: Hay House is a personal development media and events company producing books, online courses, and live conferences (e.g., You Can Heal Your Life) in the self-improvement space. It directly overlaps with Landmark's D2C personal development positioning, though with more publishing/content-led rather than live-facilitated seminar delivery.
• Dale Carnegie Training: Dale Carnegie Training offers globally delivered courses in leadership, public speaking, interpersonal skills, and personal development, with both consumer and corporate training programs. It is a direct structural peer to Landmark: 100+ years of brand, similar D2C + corporate channel mix, and a global network of local offices.
• Center for Creative Leadership: CCL is a research-driven leadership development provider offering programs for individual leaders and corporate clients, including feedback-intensive workshops and executive coaching. It is comparable to Landmark/Vanto Group in serving leadership transformation through structured experiential programs with documented outcomes.
• Franklin Covey: Franklin Covey delivers leadership and effectiveness training programs (e.g., The 7 Habits) to both individuals and enterprises through facilitated workshops and coaching. Like Landmark, it monetizes proprietary leadership/effectiveness content via paid programs and corporate engagements, making it a close functional peer in the leadership development space.
• Tony Robbins: Tony Robbins operates high-impact live personal development seminars and coaching programs (Unleash the Power Within, Date with Destiny) that compete directly with The Landmark Forum for the same individual adult consumer seeking transformational experiences. Both businesses rely on charismatic live events, premium pricing, and high-touch coaching as core delivery.
• The Ken Blanchard Companies: Blanchard delivers leadership and management training programs (e.g., Situational Leadership) through in-person workshops, digital learning, and coaching for individuals and corporations. It is structurally comparable to Landmark's mix of individual programs and corporate engagements.

Emerging players

• BetterUp: BetterUp is a digital coaching and leadership development platform combining 1:1 coaching with AI-driven measurement, sold primarily to enterprise HR buyers. It overlaps with Landmark's coaching and corporate consulting lines, particularly Vanto Group, but competes via a software-led, coach-marketplace model rather than live facilitator-led courses.
• Mindvalley: Mindvalley is an online personal growth and self-development platform delivering courses on transformation, mindset, and performance via an app and subscription model. It overlaps with Landmark's individual consumer personal development mission and increasingly competes for the same digital-first learner, though its delivery is digital-first rather than live in-person.
