In this episode, I’m speaking to a good friend and colleague, Clarity Coach Christine Mitchell. Christine Mitchell is a Certified Clarity Coach who works with people who arrive with a variety of challenges and objectives, particularly around anxiety, stress and OCD. And one of the interesting things about Christine is she’s working more and more with nurses and first-responders.
Last weekend was the first weekend of the Certified Clarity Coach Training programme, and hand on heart I can say it’s the best opening weekend we’ve ever had.
The participants felt the same way, and you can see just some of the comments they posted about their experience below. I’m so excited about what the next 10 months are going to bring for each and every one of us on the journey, and hopeful about the future as we each play our part in sharing the principles behind clarity.

* WHY YOU DON’T HAVE TO BLOW YOUR PROSPECTIVE CLIENT’S MIND
During a recent programme, I was demonstrating a simple approach to enrolling high-value clients in front of the group. I worked with the prospective client for 15-20 minutes and got their permission to come back to them with a proposal.
After the client sat down, another member of the group commented that the session had seemed pretty ‘low-key’. He said, “I thought that if you want a client to sign up with you, you need to blow their minds in that initial session.” I explained that wasn’t how I thought about it, for a number of reasons… Read More →

“What could I say to you that would be of value, except that perhaps you seek too much, that as a result of your seeking you cannot find.”
Hermann Hesse
How high is your tolerance for feeling good? I often encounter an interesting phenomenon when I first start working with a new client. At some point during our sessions, the client ‘falls out of their thinking’ and into a beautiful feeling of peace, clarity and wellbeing. Later, they often tell me they’re feeling better than they have in ages, or that it’s like a weight has been lifted from their shoulders. Read More →

“Our belief system is just like a mirror that only shows us what we believe.”
Don Miguel Ruiz
From time to time, I offer a group-coaching session for people who are at a point of transition. Two of the ‘issues’ that inevitably come up are self-belief and self-doubt.
On the face of it, these are two sides of the same coin. People tell me “I’d have more coaching conversations if I had more self-belief” or “I’d start my business if I didn’t have this crippling self-doubt!” But they are inevitably surprised when I respond to their perceived issue, saying…
“Self-belief is over-rated. You don’t need self-belief to take action and move forward.” Read More →
