A lot of people have been asking me about how you can “use” the principles behind Clarity in the context of coaching and 1:1 work, so I thought I’d start by showing you some “Clarity Coaching” in action.
For the next 3 posts, I’ll be sharing videos of a coaching session I did with a client, Ian, last November. It was a short coaching session (16 minutes) but had a profound impact, as you’ll see. The video was shot during a powerful 3-day programme I ran for my inner circle clients, called “Navigating by Wisdom”. I don’t know if the areas we explored will be relevant to you or not, but as well as seeing how I work with my client, you may also benefit from your own insights as you watch the videos.
Here are some of the things we explore in the first video:
- Feeling ‘stuck’ and boxed in by circumstances (money / age / time / goals)
- Getting lost in your thinking about work / changing career / the future
- Trying to ‘think your way’ out of problems (without much success)
During the first video, I’m mostly working to get a feel for where the client is at, but by the end of it, Ian’s in a reflective state (you’re going to discover why reflection is such a useful place for a person to be).
During the second video, we head somewhere new, and Ian has some powerful realisations. Then in the third video, we follow up with Ian the next day, finding out how the coaching session is already making a difference to him.
I hope you enjoy these videos – please post your comments and questions on the blog below.
To your increasing clarity!

PS I’m going to be doing a webinar next week where I unpack the principles behind Coaching with Clarity, so please post any questions you’d like me to answer on that webinar below.
