Conscious Culture Program

‍Who is this for?

This program is for organizations devoted to eliminating drama and creating high-trust cultures. After initial 1:1 coaching with the top leader, we begin the team program. Each month, your facilitator introduces a new commitment, guides you through exercises, and assigns actionable practices for both individuals and teams to integrate the month’s commitment. Our dedicated email campaign provides content and exercises to deepen your experience and understanding of the commitments.

‍

Prerequisites

CEO is required to do three months of 1:1 coaching, a Leader 360, and an enneagram assessment.

‍

Time Commitment

One-day introduction. Eight monthly facilitated sessions over nine months. 30min - 1 hour a week to practice and integrate.

‍

Benefits

Team members at client companies who integrate conscious leadership experience a greater sense of wellbeing. Expect team members to experience more energy, creativity, and connection as they learn to live these commitments at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

Our clients notice that conflicts are resolved more easily, drama declines significantly, and people feel more empowered, included, and valued. Work becomes a better place to be and stress levels go down, so unproductive and sick days decrease. All of this adds up to talent attraction, acquisition, and retention.

Organizations that learn to create win for all solutions through conscious leadership training enjoy an increase in both employee engagement and brand reputation, both of which influence the bottom line.

‍

How it will be challenging?

This process requires your willingness to learn and your courage to play on your edge. Expect to be uncomfortable.

We will challenge you to take responsibility for your results. We will ask you to feel emotions, and to take the time to really listen and have difficult conversations. We’re going to look at where you aren’t keeping your agreements and support you to make sustainable changes to those patterns. A commitment to a daily 10 minute meditation practice is recommended for all participants.

Those who are willing to take these courageous steps will reap the rewards of this transformational training.

How it works:

‍

Head of Organization Goes First

Culture is a reflection of the consciousness of the leader, which is why we require three months of 1:1 coaching* (at minimum) before any team engagement. After three months, we will assess if the leader is dedicated to practicing conscious leadership at work and at home. For teams within larger organizations where active engagement with the organizational leader is out of reach, starting with the team leader may be sufficient.

*Leaders who are in CLG Forums can petition to skip this step.

Our initial sequence includes up to (6) 50-min sessions over the course of 3 months. You'll decide with your coach if your sessions will be on the phone or Zoom (video). Your coach will be available for laser coaching (texts, emails, calls to work through issues as they arise in real time) throughout your coaching period.

‍

‍Survey and Assessment

Our intention here is to find out if there are any significant issues that need to be addressed before training with the team begins. Second, we will discover the issues of your unique culture that we want to be mindful of as we facilitate the team.

‍‍

Enneagram Assessment‍

We believe the Enneagram is a key to building self awareness, and supports your coach to guide you more efficiently in relationship to your core personality patterns.

‍‍

Team 360

In addition to an initial coaching sequence, we highly recommend that you have us perform a Team 360, which will include specific feedback about the leader being coached. This will consist of (8) 20-minute calls. Email assessments will be given to an additional 10-15 people for feedback. You'll receive a report with a summary and actionable recommendations that your consultant will review with you via phone or Zoom.

‍

Conscious Culture Survey

We use this instrument to identify how much your team is leading from trust vs. threat and to gauge their relationship with each of the 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. We send an assessment midway through and at the conclusion of the Conscious Culture Program to offer a reflection on the impact of the program.

Team Training

A 9 Month Experience / Commitments 1-6 of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership

Leadership Team Goes First

After over a decade of experience with hundreds of organizations, we have learned (sometimes the hard way) how important it is to have the leadership team trained first. The benefits are twofold:

(1) leaders of the organization get a chance to practice and build skills in order to better practice with their direct reports when they begin their own learning process. This is particularly key for any leaders who have management issues with their direct reports.

(2) We find that when leadership teams practice and integrate these first seven commitments, those around them notice and celebrate the difference and are motivated to learn more (versus having it be something put upon them).

‍

Organizational Rollout

After the senior leadership teams completes the Conscious Culture Program, we partner with you to customize next steps for the rest of your teams and organization.

‍

Ongoing Training

Once your culture has the fundamentals of commitments 1- 6 down, there are many other trainings that we can offer to help support your culture being even more conscious.

Curriculum

Module 1: Introduction to Enneagram

In this Enneagram workshop you’ll learn about the nine Enneagram types and how they show up as different leadership styles. Everyone will gain greater insight into their own and their teammates’ strengths and challenges, and how they interact with one another based on type.

Module 2: Introduction to Conscious Culture Program

In this Introduction to Conscious Leadership workshop we’ll explore the core concepts and models of conscious leadership. We’ll introduce the basic tools we use to eliminate drama, build trust, and create conscious cultures.

Module 3: Integrity

A lot of time and energy is wasted because of a lack of clear and broken agreements. We’ll help you to determine where there are integrity breaches and walk you through resolving them.

Module 4: 100% Responsibility

We’ll explore more deeply what it means to shift from a victimhood mindset to taking responsibility for your experience and the circumstances of your life.

Module 5: Curiosity

Much drama happens on a team because people want to be right about the way they see things. We’ll explore how to question beliefs and shift to curiosity.

Module 6: Feelings

Emotional intelligence is a key factor to shifting from being reactive to being responsive. You’ll learn how to locate emotions in the body and move them all the way through to completion.

Module 7: Candor

At the center of most communication challenges is a lack of transparency and deep listening. You’ll learn how to separate facts from stories, and become aware of habitual listening styles that block effective collaboration.

Module 8: Gossip

You can gauge how healthy a culture is based on how much gossip there is. We’ll introduce “The Clearing Model,” and teach you how to use it to navigate challenging conversations.

Module 9: Integration

Sprinkled throughout the program: Appreciation

High-functioning teams have a 5-1 appreciation to criticism ratio. Appreciation is much more than saying thank you. We’ll teach you the art of appreciation and support you to integrate it into the fabric of your culture.

What are the benefits/results that an organization or leader will experience from practicing conscious leadership?

Team members at client companies who integrate conscious leadership experience a greater sense of wellbeing. Our facilitation and technologies support peak engagement, innovation, and drama-free collaboration. Expect team members to experience more energy, creativity, and connection as they learn to live these commitments at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

Organizations that learn to create win for all solutions through conscious leadership training enjoy an increase in employee engagement and brand reputation, both of which influence the bottom line.

Do you have examples of where you have been successful with other organizations?

On our website, check out our client stories to learn more about how CLG has made an impact.
‍

We have significant conflict occurring in our organization, how can CLG help us resolve this conflict?

Yes, one of our specialties is conflict resolution. Our curriculum is designed to support the most difficult conflicts by helping each individual face and accept their part in co-creating the conflict. We also support everyone in discovering how to resolve the conflict if they are willing.
‍

We are concerned some people on the team might not be open to these concepts, how do you deal with that?

It’s normal and common that not everyone on the team will be fully open to engaging with our work. We welcome and embrace healthy skepticism and allow people to go at their own individual pace unless their engagement becomes toxic to the team dynamic. We often find that the most skeptical become the greatest supporters of the conscious leadership models over time.
‍

Do you offer train the trainer programming?

We offer a one year coaches training program for those who are interested in learning how to embody The 15 Commitments™ and coach others using our models. We encourage our clients organizations to send someone from their team who will champion conscious leadership to this training.

‍

How do we onboard new employees who have not gone through CLG training?

There are many ways to onboard new employees so they're able to integrate into your culture.
‍
Options include:
1. Have them read our book, The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership and review related materials on our resources page that covers all of the content that the rest of the team has learned.
‍
2. Send them an in-person or virtual Taste of Conscious Leadership training (max 7 per event).

3. Have us or your CLG trained in-house coach facilitate trainings for your new employees.
‍

How do you work with international leaders and organizations?

Many of our consultants travel abroad to work with teams. We also offer lower cost virtual trainings.
‍

Why shouldn’t I work with you?

Practicing conscious leadership isn't for the faint of heart; it takes massive courage. Conscious leadership requires time and attention and can be messy and uncomfortable. If leadership doesn’t stand for the value of everyone on the team practicing, it’s a setup for team divisions and discord.

If staying comfortable is important to you and your team, and you are MUCH more focused on the bottom line than building a high trust culture, we are not a match for you.

‍

How it works:

- Schedule an initial conversation so we can get to know each other better.

- We'll give you a quote and send a coaching agreement.

- If you have a Whole Body Yes to context coaching, we'll match you with three coaches for chemistry calls (no additional cost).

- Let us know whom you'd like to coach with.

- We'll communicate your choice with the coaches you interviewed.

- You'll schedule your coaching sessions directly with your coach.
