Regional and Organizational Forums, YPO Facilitation.
What is a Forum?
A group of like-minded organizational leaders who come together to practice consciousness and conscious leadership together. Forum members challenge themselves and one another to live a life aligned with The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. Forums are led by certified CLG facilitators, in contrast with peer moderated groups such as YPO and YPO Gold.
Why join a Forum?
- Leaders share many of the same challenges, one person’s work is everyone's work, which makes group learning very efficient for all.
- There is also a relief and light-heartedness that comes with realizing you are not alone in your challenges.
- The group feedback process reveals and remedies long hidden blind spots and unconscious commitments. Issues that have been recycling can then come to resolution.
- An unwavering commitment to transparency allows each member's most authentic self to come forward.
- A group dedicated to aligning with the 15 commitments creates a rare climate of trust that sets the stage for transformation.

Organizational Forums
We offer Forums for leadership teams within organizations to support relational connections, conscious leadership skills, and peer feedback.
Contact us to discuss setting up one or more Forums in your organization.
YPO Facilitation
We offer one to two-day retreats for Forums and Chapters to learn the basics of how to facilitate one another to permanently resolve issues. Members will learn how they are unconsciously supporting one another to recirculate issues. We empower Forums to practice on their own by providing very specific structures for self-facilitation.
Contact us to hire a CLG consultant as your Forum resource.

Learning the 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, and being a part of the CLG Forum, have helped me tremendously both personally and professionally. The lessons I've learned through CLG have allowed me to navigate life more skillfully -- helping me to define my life's purpose and pursue my mission. From learning how to take 100% responsibility, to experiencing the world as an ally, these commitments have given me practical tools to become the leader and individual I aspire to be. This is the book (and set of tools) I wish I had before I started my company 12 years ago. The lessons are even more relevant to me during the time of this pandemic; they have helped me to be aware of and to accept my fears, while staying grounded in my values, so I can strive to be the resolution I hope to see in this world.

I’lI admit, I think taking time to meet with a group every month for a period of time when you already feel like you're dropping balls, can feel like a bit too much. I've been surprised at how leveraged that time is actually in a group setting. I now experience a higher degree of trust, despite the outcomes of the day to day. And the goodness of it all is that it’s liberated me to apply myself without unhelpful anxiety.

During the persona party at our retreat I experienced a profound shift; it turned the hardest thing I've ever dealt with in my adult life into an incredible learning opportunity. I now know I can choose to look at every situation in life as an opportunity rather than a struggle...[In general] I think of Forum as fun. I see it on my calendar and I look forward to it.

I found [Forum] to be edgy but not scary. I got as much challenge out of it as I wanted and as much vulnerability as I was comfortable with. There was a really nice allowance to meet me where I was. The retreat also was exceptionally fun. Seriously, the retreat was one of the most fun two days I've ever had in my whole life. And I've had a lot of fun, like a lot. So that's saying something.

CLG Forum is a YPO/WPO forum on steroids. Most folks are all too comfortable telling the same story, both to themselves and others, again and again. With CLG, I’ve seen real transformation. The honesty, authenticity, freedom and integrity I find in this forum is unlike any other forum experience I have had. It’s life changing, and not just for the participants. Friends, co-workers and, most importantly, family and significant others are all happier. It’s the real deal.
