The Mastery Forum is CLG’s deepest-level experience — a year-long immersion for leaders ready to operate at the edge of their own evolution. Led by our Master Coaches, each forum becomes a living laboratory where leadership is refined through real-time reflection, feedback, and practice.

Founders, executives, and leaders are curated for chemistry, diversity of experience, and depth. Together, you’ll uncover what’s real — the patterns beneath performance, the blind spots behind brilliance, and the humanity inside ambition. As Byron Katie reminds us, “One person’s work is everyone’s work.” Each breakthrough becomes collective insight as the group mirrors both your limitations and your potential.

As transparency deepens, so does confidence. You begin to lead and relate in new ways — first in this room, then in every part of your life. A group dedicated to living The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership creates a rare climate of trust, where authenticity, experimentation, and transformation happen naturally.

The Mastery Forum is where accomplished leaders come to do the work that success alone can’t reach — expanding their impact, awareness, and capacity to lead with clarity and truth.

FAQ

How is a CLG forum different from other forums?‍

CLG forums focus on context. Most groups focus on the content of a member’s issue. We listen in order to understand the content, but our primary focus is on the context from which the content arises. In doing so, we support members in permanently resolving issues. Watch this video to learn more about the relationship between content and context.

We believe that the deepest transformation comes when a facilitator has mastery in both the 15 commitments and coaching others. Therefore, all of our forums are facilitated by trained and certified CLG coaches. Our forums prioritize self awareness over socializing, giving business advice, or networking.

What are the benefits that apply specifically to leaders in organizations?

Leaders who integrate conscious leadership experience a greater sense of wellbeing. They experience more energy, creativity, and connection. If you take what you learn in forum to heart and practice, you’ll be positioned to begin to transform the culture of your team(s). Leaders who apply conscious leadership at work report that conflicts are resolved more easily, drama declines significantly, and people feel more empowered, included, and valued.

How many people are in a forum?

Forums are made up of 10 members and 1-2 facilitators.

What is the time commitment?

Ten monthly four hour meetings over the course of one year, and an in-person retreat for 2.5 business days plus approximately 2 hours of Conscious Leadership practice time per week.

How long is the commitment?

One year with the opportunity to recommit annually.

Where do forums meet?

In a home, office or other meeting space of a forum member or the facilitator in the forum’s regional area.

How much does it cost?

Differs by location.

Are scholarships available?

Yes, limited funds are available. Please contact the coach running it directly.

What is the refund policy?

After you commit to the forum, there are no refunds. If you choose to leave the forum there will be no refund. If you are asked to leave the forum for breaking agreements there will be no refund.

Is there an attendance policy?

Yes, every member is expected to attend all forum meetings and the full duration of the in person retreat(s). Members can negotiate with the forum to miss 2 of the 10 meetings due to illness, emergencies and other extenuating circumstances.

What are the requirements that I must honor to be a member in a forum?

Every forum member agrees to…

1. Read the book, The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, in its entirety.
2. Have a minimum 10-minute daily meditation practice.
3. Agree to meet with your forum learning partner (will be assigned at first meeting) each week for a 1/2 hour call.
4. Agree to attend 8 of 10 monthly sessions and the retreat(s), arriving on time and not departing early.
5. Agree to post on the private forum discussion board (Slack) once a week and make comments on others' updates (this will likely be the most difficult agreement to keep, so be sure you are willing to do this).
6. Pay in full by the due date (this will vary forum to forum) with the knowledge that there is no refund if you drop out at any time.
7. Complete homework assignments that will be given each month (1-3 hours a month).
8. Have an Enneagram assessment/interview (unless you have done so already) with a CLG coach to determine or confirm your Enneagram type. Included in the cost.

**Before you accept a spot in a CLG forum, please be sure to have a whole body yes to each of the requirements as they are compulsory to stay in the forum.**
