One of the most important things coaches bring about in sessions is clarity—what matters, what’s most important, what would be different if change occurs. Since clarity comes up over and over in coaching and is core to the work coaches do, Gary Wood joins us today to share and explain his ground-breaking Clarity & Momentum Model.

 

Learn:

 

  • How using the Clarity & Momentum Model can crystallize your client’s awareness

 

  • How to help clients move from overwhelm to achievement as they minimize burnout potential and zero in on the most important things

 

  • How to turn information into new knowledge and potential so your clients can move forward more effectively
