Peter McLinton live-streamed when he did the Certified Clarity Coach Training Programme this year.

In this 90-second video Peter talks about his realisation that you don’t need to be in the room with somebody in order to experience human connection and facilitate profound shifts. As a result, he’s now super-comfortable with working remotely with clients ((as well as saving lots of money on hotels and travelling to London).
