Who Jim works with
The group works with CEOs, co-founders and executives. It coaches leaders one on one and coaches full executive teams. Some clients are early-stage founders building their first teams. Others are leaders at large companies who want to change how they lead.
How Jim works
The work is built on the 15 Commitments, a framework and daily practice for conscious leadership. The commitments include responsibility, curiosity, feeling feelings through to completion, candor, ending gossip and integrity. The core idea is Content vs. Context. Leadership changes when a leader shifts the context they lead from, not when they add more tools. Coaching is offered one on one with CLG coaches, and leaders can also join forums in Chicago and New York.
