Personal Branding Workshop:  Aligning Who You Are With What You Do

The purpose of the Clarity For LIfe work is to align who we naturally are with the public image we share with the world.  We believe that by doing this, we have better relationships, better business success, more peace of mind, and are more satisfied with the lives we live.

I have found that those who chase power, money or fame in life don’t necessarily feel as successful as they look.  But those who come to know and share themselves well live more satisfied lives.  For me, living a satisfied life is the greatest success a person can achieve.This personal branding workshop deals gets to the heart of that.  It dives into the deeper questions of identity before looking at who we are to the outside world.  It guides participants to recognize the gap between who they were taught to be, the person they are expected to be, and the person they naturally are.  From noticing these nuanced differences, they have a more clear criteria for making choices.  By learning to know and understand themselves at a new and intimate level, they are able to align their public image with their authentic SELF.  This is the truest form of SELF-expression. 

To achieve this alignment, we will address self-awareness through a new lens.  We will apply techniques to recognize nuance experiences and meaning that are currently affecting our lives.  We will cover the six ways we judge and express ourselves (and others), and apply some common sense and critical thinking to what we find.

Armed with this new awareness, we can better understand where our lives are misaligned.  It is from that place that our aligned personal brand emerges. 

With this knowledge, we can create a criteria for decision making that leaves us better satisfied and feeling more authentic in life.  It helps us to confidently set and hold healthy boundaries.  To blend who we are with what we do rather than having our identities be defined by what we do.   

Your take-away is knowing a format that you can apply throughout your life any time something feels “off” and your sense of confidence and authenticity shifts back out of alignment.

1. Finding Clarity – A Journey of Self Understanding:

If you’re looking for more out of life you’ve come to the right place. Colleen’s series of Clarity Courses are all about connecting with your true self. It’s the distinction between who we actually are, and who we have learned to be in order to get along. Together we work on letting go of who we’re “supposed” to be, so we can be our SELF. We’ll start to notice the nuances in places where we’re dissatisfied in life and look at the expectations that people in our lives currently have of us, and ways to shift that closer to who we naturally are.   And, when you’re ready, to design life on your own terms.  More Info About Finding Clarity  

2. Deeper Clarity – Surviving, Judging & Expressing Ourselves:

The Deeper Clarity Course was designed to help people see themselves more objectively, and to understand how they currently show up for others.  Through a series of proprietary exercises and principles, we discover ways that we make sure others see us in a particular way; how we judge ourselves and others on specific criteria; and how we unwittingly teach others how to navigagte relationships with us.

This is a deep dive into understanding the identities that are at the heart of the subtle decisions in our lives.

3. The Clarity Course – Designing Your Next Chapter:

This 10 Module online course is deigned to take you on a journey of self discovery that leaves you with a powerful new relationship with your SELF.  From that new place, we look at ways to have our next chapter be a clear and natural SELF-expression. Here we integrate the SELF-Understanding gleaned from the Finding Clarity Course, and the depth of Identity-Awareness that was uncovered in the Deeper Clarity Course.  Participation is BY INVITATION ONLY.

The ONLINE Clarity Course is full and complete in and of itself.  There are a limited number of positions available for a post-course, in-person camp in the French countryside to lock in the learning from the course.  More Info About The Clarity Course & Camp

4. The Clarity Forward Course:

The Clarity Forward Course is only avaiable to graduates of the Clarity Course.  It guides alumni through nuances of our survival styles, the underlying beliefs that silently run our lives, gently releasing regrets, and self forgiveness.

This is a 3 module intensive course that culminates with an in-person camp in the French countryside.  It is a powerful foundation for a lifetime of curiosity, self inquiry, and living a satisfying life.

The Clarity Method is a pathway for re-connecting with your natural self.  It brings people through a series of stages from quiet dissatisfaction to living an aligned life.

It is not a destination.  It is a lifestyle given by an ongoing honest and compassionate conversation with yourself about what works, and what doesn’t work in your life.

When the inquiry starts, there is often a sense that “something is not right”.  We can’t quite put our finger on it.  We may even feel guilty about it when life looks good from the outside.  But there seems to be some confusion between the life we want and the life we are currently experiencing.

The first step is to bring awareness to it.  To start noticing nuances in our experiences of life through a new lens.  Patterns in what we are feeling.  Situations or topics where we get bothered or triggered.  The self talk that shows up when we are.  At this stage, we are simply noticing.  It’s not time to fix things.  It’s not a call for judgement.  This is a time for collecting the information that our experience of life is telling us (when we’re willing to listen).  By noticing without judgement, we can exercise our ability to see our selves objectively.

The natural next step is to begin an inquiry.  It’s time to become curious about the things we have noticed.  Maybe drawing similarities between things that may not have seemed to go together before.  This is a deeper level of questioning the patterns we have noticed to see what more there is to look at.

Once we have noticed some nuances and patterns, and dug a little deeper, it’s time to start asking some “why” questions.   Investigating what else is going on here.  Why does this self talk show up when I’m in that situation?  Why do I have this same situation or relationship keep reoccurring in my life.  And again, we are looking for information here, not judgement.

Next, we look for the gaps.  We make natural assessments about the situations, circumstances, topics, relationships and environments where we get triggered, and gauge whether or not we are being our natural, authentic self in those places.  Where are we being who we are supposed to be, who we are expected to be, and where are we being oursellves.

Discernment is the next natural step.  Asking the deeper questions about what we know to be true, and how whe know it.  By what criteria hae we been making decisions in our lives.  How we believed those decisions were in our best interest.  And what criteria might we use moving forward.

Through this process, a new sense of SELF emerges.  While we will continue to have good days and bad days in life, we can see a new definition for who we are.  We now have a foundation and a clear new view of our identity.  Not the person we were told to be.  The person we were born to be.  And that person deserves to be expressed in the world.

All of these steps are designed for us to know our SELF, deeply and intimately.  From this new level of SELF-awareness, we are able to take ownership, without doubt, and teach others who we are, rather than having them tell us who to be.  This is the most powerful point of The Clarity Method.  It is where healthy boundaries get set. Confident decisions get made. Where our purpose gets lived out through our SELF-expression.

Living a life where what we do, and how we show up in the world, are an expression of who we naturally are is what it looks like to live an aligned life.  And that is the goal of the Clarity Philosophy for Life.
