Jim Dethmer

Executive Coach · Operator

Cofounder and coach at the Conscious Leadership Group and coauthor of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. He turns coaching ideas into named practices for leaders and teams.

Dethmer started the Conscious Leadership Group with Diana Chapman. He still works there as a coach and partner. He leads peer groups, gives talks, makes lessons, and trains other coaches. [1] [3]

He wrote The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership with Chapman and Kaley Klemp. He also helped write High Performing Investment Teams. That book puts his work in a clear team setting. [2] [3]

Dethmer’s claim to trust comes from long use of the method. He has coached leaders, run peer groups, and taught new coaches. He can say what the method means and how people use it. [3]

The limit is the proof. His own firm tells us about its reach. The books give a system for practice, not peer-reviewed tests. Trust Dethmer on the acts and aims of his method. Claims about results need outside research and a test in the team. [2] [3]
