CLEARER

An in-depth training in the clearing process

“I think what you’ve been doing is unpicking instinct.” Peter Koenig

At the start of my career I happened to work with some of the most creative people in the world. And I saw they all worked in a particular way - and it wasn’t what I learned in school. 

There was a particular way of listening for what’s needed. A way of seeing how things fit together. And a way of finding some unexpected path that makes things possible. 

It made it very hard to go back to working how I did before. But, at the same time, I also didn’t really understand what they were doing. So I spent the next fifteen years figuring it out. 

It comes down to this. Getting things done (how I’d learned to work) is not the same as doing what’s needed (how they worked). And, it turns out, being good at doing what’s needed requires a very different set of skills. 

So, I’ve developed a set of tools that make it easy to develop those skills. If you need to get clear on your purpose, then you can use the very clear ideas process. If you need to keep track of how all the different parts of your work fit together - initiative mapping. And if you get stuck and need to find a creative way through a problem - identity yoga. 

I’ve spent fifteen years developing these tools and using them to help people find the clarity they seek. But, for the last five years, I’ve also been training established coaches and senior leaders in how to incorporate the clearing process into their professional practice.

After a couple of years of working solely one-to-one, in 2023, I’ll again be leading an in-depth group training. If you’d like to find out more, get in touch and we’ll have a conversation.

“At some point as leaders, we have to say “Am I clear? Is what I’m doing really the right thing - and how do I know?” That’s been a question I’ve asked for many, many years. Then I met Charlie and started to learn about his work and I’ve never looked back. After all those years of looking for a fail-safe way to make sure that I’m clear about anything that I do, Charlie’s has been the most powerful of all of them.” - Sally-Anne Airey, leadership coach, founder of the Evolving Leadership programme and former Royal Navy Commander
