Is Clarity Coaching Right for You?

Clarity coaching will be a great fit, if you are:

  • a smart, successful woman
  • ambitious--and make no apologies about it
  • hungry to grow and develop
  • curious about yourself
  • committed to doing the work
  • truth-seeking
  • able to put ideas into practice
"Coaching is particularly effective
with mid-career women
looking for a second wind
or who are ready to play a bigger game."

"You were there to support my business needs, challenging me to get to my deepest core values and mission.

You helped me see what I already knew was inside yet had trouble seeing myself. That is a true gift."
Maren W., massage therapist

"I am enormously grateful to be working with you. You are a compassionate pusher. You call me out on my stuff. You stand firm when I push back. You turn me in the direction of reality. You are extremely encouraging, but not in a fluffy, BS way. Instead, you are helping me learn how to fish and believe that I can make a good living fishing. And that is a totally different kind of support."
Ramona B., consultant

"I gave myself an ambitious goal: to begin my business after 10 weeks of coaching. Big feat, but no problem for Ann. After working with her, I feel more confident.

"I am so grateful for finding Ann! She is an attentive and empathetic listener, an insightful and kind teacher, and a compassionately fierce truth-teller. She has helped me to see what I see, know what I know, and do what I love. After a very short time of talking with Ann (and doing the thoughtful exercises she assigned) I was able to find a way to work--and live with working--that is satisfying and productive and good and had eluded me for years. I was discouraged and frustrated when I called Ann, and now I am excited and working steadily."
Annie L., writer/performer

"Ann helped me translate what had been a pervasive sense of confusion into actions and attitudes that moved me into a new phase of personal and professional vibrancy--with joy, equilibrium, and renewed energy.
