Why might you want a Personal Coach?

• You want to be more consistently successful at having what you want in life.
• You want to clarify your life direction.
• You would like more joy, fulfillment, inner peace, or balance in your life. 
• You want to be more successful with less effort.
• You want a cleaner alignment between how you live your life and what you most value.

• Your Coach is a personal trainer for your life.
• Coaching is collaborative, with a foundation of trust, honesty, respect, and openness.
• Coaching is effective, focused, and tailored to your specific needs.
• Coaching has a positive, healthy orientation.
• Coaching is not psychotherapy. Coaching is particularly for those who are willing to take a healthier and deeper level of responsibility for their lives.
• Coaching is a safe place to explore new possibilities, to move beyond self-imposed limits.
• Coaching can be conducted either face-to-face or on the telephone. 
• Coaching is confidential within the limits of the law.

• Clear Impact Coaching is about clarity and movement, and about "simple truths, consistently applied." ©
• You will clarify your direction. Direction is a vector determined by where you are now and where you want to go. The best goals are personally and professionally significant. 
• Clear Impact Coaching is action oriented, focused on movement in the direction of your goals. Each session will end with an action plan, a mutual determination of next steps.
• You most likely will quickly see surprisingly positive results. 

What unique services does Clear Impact provide?

• Coaches generally assist you in identifying the gap between where you are and where you would like to be, and then "coach across" that gap (so that your current reality is more and more like your stated goals). I will often actively challenge both your definition of current reality and the relevance of your stated goals, to maximize the possibility that your goals are truly congruent with who you are and who you want to be at the deepest levels. Have you ever set a goal, reached it, and then found that it was not nearly as satisfying or fulfilling as you expected? or that it led the rest of your life to be out of balance?  Many coaches do not invite this kind of investigation, yet it is the crucial foundation for all subsequent work.
• Once you have identified your current reality and goals, many coaches are able to help you identify logical next steps and action plans for reaching those goals. Most of us regularly identify logical and obvious next steps, yet fail to follow through on those actions. I have fond that the real art and skill of coaching is in helping you to understand what gets in your way during these times, and then effectively dissolving those obstacles. 
• My focus is on effortlessness - how to be more successful with less effort, with less expenditure of internal and external resources, how to be successful without agitation.  Solutions that depend on force of will are inherently limited - we cannot consistently maintain that sort of efforting. That is why people who listen to motivational speakers usually find that they have increased momentum for some short period of time, and then things essentially return to normal. I can help you identify alternative solutions that do not depend on force of will, and are more effective and long lasting.

People ask me to describe my core competencies as a coach, and what sets me apart from other coaches. I admit to having trouble finding just the right words. On the surface I bring a strong understanding of coaching technology, a well-developed set of skills, and wisdom culled from years of personal and professional experience. On a deeper level I bring the results of an earnest exploration into my own filters, limiting beliefs and internal structures, including an ability to assist others in seeing what gets in their way of having what they want, both personally and professionally. 

At an even deeper level I assist the development of an inner relaxation that allows for increased effectiveness and fulfillment. I’ve learned to work successfully with people on both the doing level and the being level, and this is a powerful combination. Agitation is non-productive. It can appear superficially productive, but at a deeper level it gets in the way of productivity, harmony, and satisfaction. Coming from a place of equanimity allows us to be passionately engaged in our work without bringing unhealthy baggage along for the ride. We are less agitated, blaming, complaining, power struggling, and taking things personally. With an abundance of freed-up energy, we have a natural desire to express our inner talents. We are able to access deeper levels of wisdom, creativity, and clarity, and are better able to listen and truly connect with others. This leads to more personal effectiveness and overall job satisfaction. Leaders and managers become better able to create the conditions for improved team functioning, employee productivity, and employee retention. 

I work at different levels, depending on the needs and wishes of my clients. I’m quite comfortable and competent assisting clients in setting goals, exploring creative ways to get at these goals, removing obstacles, and setting clear action plans with accountability that accelerate their ability to be successful. What stays consistent in all my coaching and consulting work is that I work with who you are as a person, not just with achieving superficial goals, and I assist people in working from their strengths.
