Leading with Clarity

INTRODUCING

The only leadership course designed specifically to teach women in higher ed how to lead by connecting the dots between your personal priorities, your planning, and the ways you lead your people.

I've created personalized frameworks for each area of practice, and will show you how to customize them, apply them, and get better as you go . . . all while designing the leadership practice of your dreams.

But above all else...

"Carole has a strong focus on developing others, encouraging strategic thinking and promoting success through goal setting, reflection, and developing a strong vision for success."

"Carole's transparent leadership and obvious interest in the people she works with draws out their best work."

"Carole’s mentoring was instrumental in guiding me through the most difficult professional challenge I faced in my career. In a small group setting, her approach “deep-dives” into values-driven leadership creating safe space for critical conversations.” 

I know a thing or two about building amazing teams.

Leading With Clarity: what's inside

We'll use that information to set you up for repeated success as you personalize your own leadership decision-making framework: a guide you can turn to whenever you're uncertain about which path to take. 

I want you to be confident knowing you can stand by your leadership decisions -- even the hard ones.

In this module you'll explore the key life experiences that have shaped you, including your relationship to power and privilege, and reflect on how those experiences inform your decision-making process. 

Getting Clear Within

module 01

Establishing your leadership purpose and legacy

Exploring your key life experiences and transformations

Understanding your relationship to power and privilege: how you use them for yourself and others

Identifying your primary influencers: whose leadership are you modeling and why?

Linking your early lessons about money to your financial leadership

Personalizing your leadership framework

Module 1 Highlights

It is possible, though, to be more purposeful about the work we take on, as well as how we measure and communicate our success. This module shows you how. 

We don't like stopping things in higher ed. We rarely close programs, abandon initiatives, or reduce requirements. This makes it hard for leaders to keep up with the growing pile of work in front of us. 

Getting Clear on Purpose

module 02

Go slow to go fast: why a certain kind of  planning is the key to speed and momentum

Backward design as the ultra-flexible framework for planning all your projects

The power of benchmarks: why organizing your work around assessment is more effective than focusing on activities

Strategize your way to communiating your impact, not your busy-ness

How to establish a rhythm for fine-tuning your projects as you go

Module 2 highlights

Getting these relationships right is THE KEY to leadership. Now that you know who you are and what you stand for-- and  you know how to design meaningful work and avoid busywork activities -- we'll turn our attention to people. 

As a leader, your first priority is to the people you lead. And you're likely leading in many directions -- people who report to you, people you report to, and people you influence from the sides. 

Getting Clear With Others

module 03

The four stages of psychological safety, and why nothing matters until you get inclusion right

How to assess the psychological safety of your current team

The basics of building trust: why your actions matter most and your intent is irrelevant

Feedback strategies to bring out the best in your colleagues

The People Pack

I've created a package of quick guides to help you build amazing teams and a thriving culture, all while leading from your heart and being true to yourself. Wondering what to say in uncomfortable situations? Wishing you could get more out of annual reviews? Curious about integrating coaching into your leadership practice? I've got you covered. 

Because sometimes you just need to know where to start.

BONUS

Trust is hard to earn and easy to lose - and without it, all your other efforts will fail.  You have to build trust intentionally: through your actions, your words, and the way you demonstrate your character. It's literally the most important thing you can do as a leader. But lots of leaders don't make the time for building trust, or they think it's just a quick conversation -- and they either get lucky, or get it wrong. 

But not you! 

I've created this exclusive mini-module that goes deep to teach you how to build, sustain, and even restore trust with your colleagues. 

Trust is the cornerstone of everything at work that...works.

EQUITY PRICING

All that AND a risk-free, money-back guarantee

I know you have a kazillion options for leadership workshops, and you're a careful steward of your professional development funds. 

Like you, I've taken my share of nap-inducing workshops and ho-hum online seminars. 

This is not that. 

Here's why you can place your confidence in this workshop:

By the end of our first three weeks, you'll have learned the basics of two frameworks and will be preparing your first week of practical implementation. You'll know by that point if this approach is going to help you. 

If you're not confident these frameworks will simplify your leadership decision-making and help your team, simply reach out and show me you've completed the work to date. I will fully refund your money -- no questions asked. 

I know, because that's been me. 




EQUITY PRICING

FAQs

I'm a [fill in the job title]. Is this course for me? 

Your job title doesn't tell the full truth of your leadership. If you're influencing others, heading committees, overseeing initiatives, mentoring students -- you're a leader and YES this is for you.  

I'm really busy. How can I fit this in?

If you're too busy to slow down and figure out how to make your worklife calmer and more enjoyable, this course is designed exactly for you. You can learn the materials at your own pace and attend live gatherings as fits your schedule. During implementation weeks you'll practice applying what you're learning in your actual job, so you'll see an immediate difference. By the end of the 8-week course you'll know how to put new systems and approaches in place that will free more time on your calendar.  

Can I attend with colleagues?

Yes! Teams from the same institution receive a 15% discount, whether you enroll in the Essentials or the VIP program. Email me for details. 

My institution is paying and needs an invoice/purchase order. Where do I get one?

I will happily send you one.  Please email me with details (names and email addresses of attendee(s), as well as the name and address of  the person receiving the invoice. 

I plan to offer this course again this year, but not during Spring semester.

The timing isn't great for me. Can I enroll later?

At The Clareo Group we recognize that gender is one (among many) forms of privilege. Our leadership coaching intentionally provides support, camaraderie, and education with the goal of redistributing power that is historically gendered and binarized. Our group leadership programs use gendered pronouns as one means of creating safe spaces for people who identify as women. All women whose pronouns include they/them and nonbinary folx who seek a women-focused community are also welcome here;  we stand committed to your safety and growth as well.

Why is this course only for women?

You're done being told "just say no" or "just set boundaries." You need strategies like, yesterday.

2022 was waaaay tougher than you expected and you are NOT up for more of the same in 2023.

If you're thinking this sounds helpful but you're still not sure...

...give Leading with Clarity a twenty-one-day, risk-free shot if any of these sound like you:

You're ready to surround yourself with women who are focused on making things better rather than accepting staying stuck.
