Conscious LeaderShift
Lead with Awareness, Authenticity & Impact
Leadership today demands more than authority, expertise, or experience. It requires consciousness—the ability to lead with clarity, humanity, and intention in environments that are complex, fast-moving, and deeply human.
Conscious LeaderShift is a leadership consultancy dedicated to helping leaders rise higher, lead stronger, and create meaningful, measurable impact by aligning who they are with how they lead.
Schedule a Discovery CallIs This You?
You are a senior leader, executive, or business owner who is accomplished—but aware that something must shift.
You may be facing:
- High-performing teams that are disengaged, burned out, or quietly leaving
- Increased pressure to deliver results while maintaining trust and morale
- Leadership fatigue from being the "go-to" problem solver
- Communication breakdowns across hybrid, global, or multi-generational teams
- Inconsistent accountability and unclear expectations
- A desire to lead with more authenticity without losing credibility or control
You know traditional leadership models are no longer enough.
You don't want to manage people—you want to develop them.
You don't want compliance—you want commitment.
You don't want short-term wins—you want sustainable impact.
Meet Corliss Charles-Sutton
I'm Corliss Charles-Sutton, a leadership strategist, executive advisor, and the creator of the Conscious Leadership Framework.
With decades of experience observing leaders across corporate, small business, nonprofit, and global environments, I've seen what truly separates effective leaders from exceptional ones.
Exceptional leaders are not perfect—but they are aware.
They lead with presence, clarity, and purpose.
They create environments where people feel safe to think, speak, grow, and perform.
My work is grounded in research-backed disciplines including positive psychology, cognitive behavioral science, emotional intelligence, performance science, and people-centered leadership models. But it is designed for real-world application—not theory.
I partner with leaders who are ready to move beyond autopilot leadership and into conscious, intentional influence—leaders who want to elevate culture, performance, and people simultaneously.
How Successful Leaders Make a Difference
The Conscious LeaderShift (I³) Framework
A practical, transformative model built on three interconnected pillars that define modern, human-centered leadership.
IMPACT
Lead with Purpose, Performance & Value Creation
Conscious leaders create impact by aligning people, performance, and profits. This pillar strengthens a leader's ability to develop people, create clarity, coach effectively, and execute strategically—without sacrificing humanity.
INFLUENCE
Lead Through Connection, Accountability & Trust
Influence is earned, not assigned. This pillar equips leaders to build deep trust, communicate with empathy, hold shared accountability, and shape culture through consistent, values-aligned behavior.
INVEST
Lead by Developing Others Intentionally
Great leaders multiply themselves. This pillar focuses on developing people through purposeful practice, meaningful feedback, and coaching conversations that build confidence, capability, and ownership.
Together, these pillars create leaders who:
- Understand themselves deeply
- Influence others effectively
- Develop people intentionally
- Improve performance sustainably
- Build cultures where people belong, grow, and stay
