The leading with clarity course will
help you develop a leadership practice that brings you peace of mind.
You’ll know you’re working on the right things, in the right ways, for the right people, at the right time.
Your focus and purpose will increase the joy you — and your team! — feel at work.
I’ve started more than my share of new jobs, and each time I’ve gotten a bit better at starting strong. I’ve taken all the good advice I’ve been given over the years and paired it with my own trial and error to design the framework I wish I’d had when I started: a guide that will keep you grounded in your values, connected to your new team, and focused on the right institutional priorities.
Running is a great metaphor for leadership. As a one-time runner I understand the value of training, stretching, and resting. So instead of jumping on the hamster wheel and churning you way through the first year, let's set you up to run the race you want to win.
The Leadership sprint
You'll learn to do a bunch of things -- some of them possibly new to you -- that give you the confidence and freedom to run this leadership race your way.
We'll combine the best of independent and group learning, with both synchronous and asynchronous activities. You'll also have plenty of individual access to me.
At the end of the sprint you'll have everything you need to get to the finish line of your first year feeling like a champion.
During this intensive month I want you to have all the support you need, so you'll get private access to me in two different ways:
We’re in this together.
You're going to need someone to talk to confidentially as you plan, think through challenges, and strategize. That's what I'm here for. All help, no judgment.
• Two private coaching sessions.
• We'll schedule the first session for the second half of the sprint as you're starting to piece your ideas together.
• We'll schedule the second session 4-6 weeks after the sprint is over, giving you accountability and an informed sounding board: someone who knows what you’re trying to accomplish and can help you get there.
Sometimes we need less than a phone call but more than... nothing. Chat conversations fit nicely into that gap.
We'll set up a group chat for the cohort that will also enable you to chat with me privately.
• Access to the full group for chatting purposes.
• Private access to chat with me, M-F from 9 am - 6 pm central.
→ You'll spend up to one hour a weekday on this work independently.
→ You'll prioritize yourself (your values, your goals, your leadership style) over others' expectations of you.
→ You'll be open to thinking in new ways even if it's uncomfortable at first, knowing that at the end of the sprint you can take what's useful and set aside anything that isn't
→ I will care for you personally and professionally. I am genuinely in your corner.
→ I'll do my best to model inclusion and belonging, both for our group for your individual leadership.
→ I will hold you accountable while providing support and resources that help you move forward.
→ Two private coaching sessions
→ Chat access to other sprinters *and* private access to Carole

This program blends prescribed activities, particular frameworks, outside source material (like your job profile), and coaching kinds of questions. Think of it as half pre-designed curriculum, half coaching.
Honestly, there's never enough time for this. And you also don't have time to waste: you need to start making strong impressions and steps in the right direction right away. This program front-loads work that you might spread over the course of the year if you were working on your own, but it will save you time down the road because you'll know so quickly what to do and how to go about doing it.
Yes! This would be fantastic with colleagues, and you could continue supporting each other as the year goes on.
I will happily send you one. Please email carole@theclareogroup.com with details (name(s) and email address(es) of attendee(s), as well as the name and address of the person receiving the invoice.
I'm considering running a mixed-gender cohort.
Research from women's colleges shows how female students benefit when they don't have to compete with male students for their instructors' time, attention, and feedback. Many women are socialized to defer to men, and many men are socialized to speak up and take up space. This program is designed to prioritize the needs of leaders who identify as women. If you don't identify as a woman and you're still interested in joining a cohort email me to discuss options: carole@theclareogroup.com
I plan to open another cohort in late summer or early fall for folks who start in August/September. If that's you, join the waitlist so we can stay in touch about start dates!
