What The Conscious Leadership Group does

The Conscious Leadership Group is a privately-held leadership coaching and training organization founded in 2013 and headquartered in Chicago, with secondary presence in New York and operations spanning North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Its offering is built on a proprietary methodology — the "15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership" framework — codified in an Amazon bestselling book co-authored by co-founder Jim Dethmer, Kaley Klemp, and Diana Chapman, and reinforced by the Above/Below the Line self-assessment tool, somatic and embodied coaching practices, and Enneagram integration.

The company delivers human-led professional services: one-on-one executive coaching with a bench of seven named senior coaches (including Managing Partners Jim Dethmer, Joyce Chen, and Jim Fallon), group learning circles, multi-day Full Aliveness Intensives, monthly Mastery Forums, customized onsite and offsite facilitation, company-wide cohorts, and a Conscious Culture Program for organizational transformation. It also runs a 15 Commitments Certification Program that trains external coaches in the methodology, and sells the flagship book through Amazon and direct channels.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional-services fees plus ancillary book sales and certification tuition; pricing is quote-based, sold via consultative "Book A Call" discovery conversations or self-serve calendar enrollment for group programs. The company serves CEOs, founders, and executive leadership teams — its named clients span technology (Anthropic, Google, Meta, Brex, Coinbase), finance (Ariel Investments, Goldman Sachs), healthcare (University of Vermont Health Network), and entertainment (DreamWorks Animation), among others. The organization has no disclosed external funding, no SaaS or technology product, and no API or AI/ML components.

Direct peers

• Marshall Goldsmith: Renowned executive coach and author focused on leadership behavior change for senior executives and Fortune 500 CEOs. Closest 1:1 peer to CLG's individual coaching practice, differentiated by a behavior-change methodology rather than the 15 Commitments framework.
• Vistage: Peer advisory and executive coaching organization for CEOs and business leaders running facilitated group forums and 1:1 coaching. Closely mirrors CLG's Circles/Mastery Forums model, scaled to thousands of members.
• Center for Creative Leadership: Nonprofit leadership development institution delivering executive programs, coaching, and culture transformation to senior leaders. Similar focus on individualized leadership transformation, with a stronger institutional/research orientation.

Broad incumbents

• DDI (Development Dimensions International): Leadership development firm providing assessments, executive coaching, and culture programs to large enterprises. Overlaps with CLG's company cohorts and offsite facilitation but at a much larger enterprise-training scale.
• Heidrick & Struggles: Global leadership advisory and executive search firm offering executive coaching, leadership assessment, and culture work to CEOs and senior teams. Direct overlap with CLG's C-suite coaching and team transformation engagements, but operates at much larger scale with broader service lines.
• Korn Ferry: Large organizational consulting firm with a deep leadership development and executive coaching practice. Comparable to CLG in addressing CEO and executive team transformation, but embedded inside a full HR/strategy suite.
• Gallup: Research-based leadership and engagement consultancy selling CliftonStrengths and culture transformation programs. Comparable on culture-program and leader-development outcomes, with a heavier research-driven sales motion.
• Tony Robbins / Robbins Madanes Center: High-visibility business and performance coaching operation serving entrepreneurs and executives through events, masterminds, and 1:1 work. Adjacent in target audience (founders, senior leaders) and methodology emphasis on mindset shifts, but delivered at mass scale through events.
• FranklinCovey: Global training and consulting firm selling proprietary leadership frameworks (e.g., 'The 7 Habits') to enterprises. Comparable as a branded leadership methodology provider, but oriented to broader workforce training rather than C-suite transformation.

Emerging players

• BetterUp: Technology-enabled coaching platform offering 1:1 executive and leadership coaching as a SaaS-style product. Comparable in end service (executive coaching) but contrasts with CLG's purely human services model through a software-led delivery layer.
