Real change happens through people. That’s why CLX partnered with Paragon Performance Evolution to launch the CLX + Paragon Executive Leadership Program—empowering nearly 20 executive leaders across nine Chicago-based youth development organizations.

The impact speaks for itself:

67% saw improvements in overall stress and wellbeing
75% of those with emotional distress experienced a 38% reduction in distress levels
75% reported better stress management, with a 115% increase in their ability to manage stress

This program isn’t just about personal growth—it’s about building resilient, sustainable leadership in organizations shaping our youth’s future. Grateful to Paragon for their partnership in driving lasting change.

I want to give an enthusiastic shout-out to Paragon! Paragon came highly recommended by a large national conference organization, and they were absolutely right about the quality of the program. I invited Paragon to speak at our global virtual conference, initially focused on specific topics and outcomes. Through thoughtful conversations, Paragon guided me toward a more engaging, interactive, and impactful session than I ever imagined.

Even in a virtual setting, our members felt deeply connected, energized, and motivated. Paragon’s warmth and vulnerability inspired the same from our team, creating stronger bonds and bringing us closer than ever before. A huge thank you to Paragon for helping my team to build bridges that truly span the globe!

I have personally benefitted from their coherence training and incorporate the tools and techniques into my daily routine, especially before important meetings, and during challenging situations.

I first heard of Paragon’s work when I attended a summit for CHRO leaders of major colleges and universities. Their message on intelligent energy management resonated strongly and inspired me to engage Paragon for a team project with my HR managers. I was feeling an urgency to support my team that was showing signs of burn out, overwhelm, and were drained due to the effects that the pandemic has had on our campus.

I was deeply impacted by the program Paragon hosted for our senior leadership team. Their holistic content is exactly what is needed, yet almost always missing, in organizational development courses. Specifically, I was so impressed that they managed to include critical concepts from very complex topics including: neuroscience, the mind-body connection, and interpersonal relationships in a way that was digestible and immediately applicable. I loved the focus on internal self-awareness and regulation as the key to strong outcomes at work and in life in general. It enabled us to be open, to have calm productive discussions about difficult situations, and to be more creative in planning. This is transformative work and it’s truly unique! I can see tangible impacts in myself and in our leadership and look forward to additional workshops and training with them.
