Clear Connections - a process to accelerate your progress


Clear Connections™
A Process To Accelerate Your Progress.

You may be reluctant to hire a coach if you equate coaching with counseling. Clear Connections™ Coaching doesn't involve probing into childhood issues, diagnosing what's wrong with you, and then attempting to "fix" you.

As a rule, coaching doesn't ask why you are the way you are. Clear Connections™ coaching focuses on how you can make the specific behavioral changes you want to make in line with your current values and goals.

Clear Connections™ is about helping you to identify developmental needs, leverage your strengths, and become more effective in your pursuit of goals.

Asking the Right Questions

At the heart of coaching and the Clear Connections™ process are artful questions. Rather than merely imparting information and knowledge we collaboratively develop solutions to your dilemmas. Your knowledge and expertise is played off your coach's knowledge and experience in a constructive, creative fashion.

This process leads to what one of our clients refers to as "crystal moments" - the breakthrough thinking that stimulates growth. In the end, it is you the client who must take action in order to achieve what you desire to achieve.

Clear Connections™ coaching typically involves the following stages:

  1. The Discovery Session
  2. Compass Orientation
  3. Strategic Roadmap Development
  4. Achievement Sessions
  5. Compass Check

Coaching engagement length, frequency of sessions, and method of communication will vary according to your needs.

Your coaching experience is custom tailored according to your goals, not according to what works best administratively for us. Your customized coaching experience will be determined during the first step - the discovery session.
