Conscious Lead logo

ConsciousLead

ConsciousLead is not a typical coaching firm. Co-founded by Dale Allen and Trevor Stevenson, we specialize in helping leaders, teams, and families break free from patterns that cause burnout, conflict, and disconnection. Our work goes beyond performance coaching—we bring trauma-aware, healing-centred practices that address the invisible weight people carry at work and at home. With more than 40 years of combined experience, we’ve supported executives, public servants, educators, tech innovators, healthcare leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers across North America. Whether it’s navigating complexity, transforming conflict into connection, or cultivating cultures of belonging, we create conditions where clarity and human-first leadership thrive. Dale brings expertise in organizational culture, somatics, and healing-centred coaching. Trevor is known for guiding groups from friction to flow and turning insight into lasting change. Together, we help individuals and organizations lead with both courage and care—grounded, disarming, and quietly powerful.
