“I had the privilege of working with Jonathan Basker as my executive coach for several years, and I cannot recommend him highly enough, especially for early-stage founders seeking guidance in their leadership journey. Jonathan's approach to coaching is both profound and practical. He has a deep understanding of the unique challenges that startup founders face, and his focus goes beyond mere business advice. Instead, Jonathan excels at supporting founders in building and managing high-performing teams, which is crucial for startup success. His unique blend of empathy, insight, and practical tools makes him an outstanding executive coach. I highly recommend Jonathan to any founder ready to embrace personal growth and transform their leadership approach!”

“Sierra Larson coached the Gem executive team for over three years, challenging us to break old patterns and lead with more intention. She created a space where we could be fully honest - having the tough conversations and strengthening trust by directly tackling what mattered instead of sidestepping it. Making space for unsaids is a ritual that we continue to this day as a leadership team. Sierra challenged us to see our blind spots, take ownership, and break patterns that weren’t serving us. She pushed us to think differently, lead with more awareness and responsibility, and stay present instead of reacting on autopilot. The tools and shared language she brought created a shared language that still shapes how we work today.”

“Joyce Chen’s leadership coaching has helped us unlock our full potential as leaders, fostering breakthrough individual growth for the members of our executive team, and breakthrough results for our organization. Our communication is more open, transparent and candid, resulting in a dramatic, positive shift in our company culture in just six months. People feel happier, more connected and committed. Joyce's coaching has fundamentally transformed my understanding of what it means to be an effective leader. The work is powerful, fun and uplifting. The results are truly remarkable.”

“I have worked with few coaches throughout my career but no one has made as much impact on my personal development as Kate Hutson. Kate is a great listener, and asks thought-provoking questions. She acknowledges practical and emotional considerations of a difficult situation and conflict, and finds easy to implement solutions. Kate has helped me become a calmer leader, and has made me see and approach problems with a more playful, drama-free angle, which in turn makes problem-solving less exhausting and more straightforward and fun. I feel that after talking to Kate I can handle any issue, and that nothing is that big of a deal! I highly recommend Kate and CLG to anyone looking to learn about themselves, grow into a better leader, and become more masterful in dealing with people and problems, at and outside of work.”

“Jim Dethmer is one of the most prolific, engaging and thought-provoking speakers I’ve ever witnessed. His ability to capture the audience, dive deeper than surface level topics and get the audience to think, reflect and shift in a short period of time is masterful. His energy, passion, and enthusiasm for his work and his desire to help others improve and transform their lives and relationships has had a lasting impact on many lives at our company.”

“When I chose CLG coaching, my primary aim was to enhance self-confidence and self-awareness to navigate a significant career challenge. Michael played a pivotal role beyond my expectations. Not only did he consistently challenge my thinking, but he also guided me to confront people, beliefs, and make tough decisions, all contributing to achieving my goal. Michael demonstrated a clear understanding of my career context, connecting with my personality traits and fears.”
