Listen "The Inner Advantage - The Rise of the Chief Consciousness Officer with Charley Johnson"
Episode Synopsis
In this grounded and illuminating conversation on Visionary New Earth Leaders, I sit down with Charley Johnson, a seasoned executive who has walked the path of both corporate command and spiritual devotion. With over two decades of experience in business leadership, seven years stewarding a nonprofit, and a decade under the guidance of an enlightened teacher, Charley now carries the mantle of Chief Consciousness Officer.Together, we unpack the architecture of conscious leadership — not as an abstract ideal, but as a stabilising force for organisations navigating disruption, growth, and deeper purpose. Charley shares how his early life shaped his resilience, how neutrality became his compass, and why integrating inner awareness into executive roles is not just possible — it’s necessary.This is a conversation for decision-makers ready to evolve not through more noise, but through deeper presence. We explore how energetic leadership, spiritual inquiry, and organisational structure can converge to create cultures of alignment and trust.Whether building a legacy or recalibrating your leadership path, this episode will anchor you in what matters most.Timestamps: 00:00 – Welcome to Visionary New Earth Leaders 00:54 – Charley’s early life & forging identity in Salt Lake City 02:03 – Navigating the challenge: taking the reins of the company 03:15 – Shifting into service: nonprofit leadership & self-mastery 04:31 – Meeting the enlightened teacher: a decade of inner work 06:57 – Spiritual unfolding & practical application 07:41 – Business as sacred ground: integrating consciousness 18:26 – The emergence of the Chief Consciousness Officer 20:33 – Neutrality as leadership currency 23:27 – Why consciousness is no longer fringe in business 24:42 – Spiritual counsel within the C-suite 25:49 – Charley’s vision: cultivating conscious leadership at scale 28:22 – From personal evolution to systemic transformation 30:15 – Real-world impacts of energetic leadership 32:59 – Building trust with intuition and embodied awareness 34:38 – Consciousness is the cornerstone of modern leadership 44:54 – Closing wisdom: walk with presence, lead with truth Connect with Charley here, and if you are interested in working with Charley and offering a Chief Consciousness Chief position, reach out to him on LinkedIn. https://www.linkedin.com/in/cjconsciousness/
