In this episode of Changing the Channel, I have the pleasure of speaking with Charley Johnson, an innovator in the field of consciousness, to discuss the transformative potential of the Chief Consciousness Officer (CCO) role in modern businesses. Charley outlines his unique journey from a non-religious upbringing in Utah to becoming a successful businessman and later a nonprofit leader with the Pay It Forward Foundation. He explains how his extensive spiritual training, combined with business experience, has prepared him to pioneer the CCO role. The CCO, he argues, can bridge the gap between the spiritual and the practical, offering neutrality and deep understanding to address divisions within organizations. Whether helping companies navigate the complexities of modern technological advancements like AI or alleviating mental health challenges, Charley emphasizes the critical need for a full-time position dedicated to elevating consciousness at all levels of an organization. The episode offers a comprehensive look at how introducing a CCO can fundamentally improve business operations and employee well-being by fostering a more unified and conscious workplace environment.
