July 13, 2022
#005 - In this episode, my guest Ann Latham and I discuss the power of clarity and how coaches can use it in their own businesses as well as in their work with clients. We talk about the clarity spectrum, treadmill versus destination verbs, the importance of specificity, to-do lists and more. Give it a listen.
#005 – Most people are not as clear as they think they are, be it in their jobs, businesses, or personal lives. From this lack of clarity stems a myriad of problems, including misunderstandings, frustration and wasted time. In this episode I am joined by Ann Latham, also known as the Queen of Clarity to discuss how can we as coaches gain more clarity and help our clients do so as well.
Following the recent launch of her book, The Power of Clarity, Ann and I talked about:
· The clarity spectrum and the meaning of ‘disclarity’ - a term she coined
· How coaches can raise their and their clients’ awareness of disclarity
· Treadmill verbs versus destination verbs
· Specificity and the four questions we should never start a meeting without
· The mantra ‘choose, start, focus finish’
· Using The Power of Clarity as a companion for the work coaches do
Ann Latham, known widely as the Queen of Clarity, is the author of the new release, The Power of Clarity, in addition to The Clarity Papers and Uncommon Meetings. She is also the founder of US-based consulting firm Uncommon Clarity®.
Her clients represent over 40 industries and range from organizations such as Boeing, Hitachi, and Medtronic to non-profits such as the Public Broadcasting Service, the United Way, and colleges and universities.
Ann’s advice has appeared in publications such as The New York Times, Bloomberg, and Management Today. She is also an expert blogger for Forbes.com. She speaks frequently to a wide range of audiences and is a guest lecturer for the University of Massachusetts Isenberg School of Management.
