“Clarity, their timely appearance, their frankness, insightfulness and caring nature I would describe as spiritually inspirational, I consider them as my “Muse” and I look forward to them spending time with me unlocking the potential of my business but more importantly unlocking the potential within me.
Thanks for the difference you have made already in so few encounters.” Mike A.

Case Studies

Below are some are case studies from clients, that give you a sneak preview into the workings of CLARITY LIVE!

• “Tom” had a manufacturing business on the brink of  receivership. He was spending all his time looking for new business but not winning new work, and profits were capped by tough industry conditions. Last year he had to lay staff off, and things were looking bad.  His home and all his assets were on the line. Together, we radically transformed the business, while helping  negotiate with creditors to buy more time. His margins are up, his success in gaining new business is up, and he has better control of his business. “Tom” has again stepped up as leader and innovator in his industry.

• “Fred” owned a temporary staffing company. He worked seven days a week, because he wanted a ferrari outright, but could not make enough profit to buy his dream car. Even though his turnover was great, he struggled to have much left after bills were paid. Now he not only drives a Ferrari, but he is able to take time off to go to the Grand Prix and similar events around the world! He is currently preparing to sell his business, to enjoy his spare time even more.

• “Arthur and Dave” were partners in a service business with huge potential. Trouble was, “Dave” wasn’t pulling his weight as a partner, and “Arthur” was a control freak who didn’t really want to delegate! This “marriage” issue was killing the potential of their business, and they were extremely uncomfortable to talk about it. CLARITY helped them to resolve their issues, develop an exit strategy, and develop strategies for growth with respect for their individual skills and strengths. Their turnover jumped by $3.7 million dollars after working with us for six months.

• “Peter” owned a business which was holding his life to ransom. He was 50 something and wanted to travel and do other things, but felt he couldn’t leave the business. With our help, he made radical changes to create systems which enable him to spend just a few minutes each day checking and managing the health of his business. He has an excellent virtual team, and has a life as well as a business. Now he travels, enjoys his family, plays tennis regularly, and most importantly has time to do the volunteer work he has always wanted to do. Plus his business is actually running better than ever!

• “Mary” wanted to sell her IT based business. When she started to talk to prospective purchasers, she was surprised by how little her business appeared to be worth. We worked with her for eight  months, to create more value in the business. She is pleased with the response from the market to her changes, and is currently talking to a number of interested parties about a sale price with much higher multiples of her EBITDA, and without a trading out period.

Erin-Business Rescue

“Oh Claire,

I am SO excited from our first month.  I am some AMAZING ideas running around in my head, and am planning and putting into action as I type this email….

Feel like I am bursting at the seams.  Now I am concentrating on putting a rocket up my sister to get her on board and excited and focused as I am.

Thank you so much for the last session, as tumultuous as it was, exciting things are going to happen.  I KNOW IT !!”

Eleanor- Business Growth Event

“Now having been in the hot seat twice what can I say…

I think this course has made it clear why things are the way they are for me and my business – I need to decide if I want the change or continue down the same path without ever really succeeding.”

Libby- Business Turnaround

” Money is always relevant to businesses and the process has shown me the importance of keeping track of it all the time (not just in the head). It will take me a while to get my head around all the new tools but I have the information which I didn’t before  (and will be able to use it)”

John-Business Growth Event

“I loved the ‘hot seat’ sessions – they made me think beyond my own ideas and see so many of the issues facing other people. Great approach to people & their issues – we were all respected and given time.”

Janis- Business Turnaround

“Good – you were able to use a couple of tools that helped our thinking.  You recognised & dealt with up front, the emotional drivers behind the business concerns and then gave us permission to get excited about our business growth potential.”

Leonie- Business Growth Event

“This course commenced exactly as I had hoped and I intuitively knew right from the start that this definitely was what I had been looking and was going to help change my life for the better.  The most important thing for me was to come to the realization of the low level I had been operating on.  I did not even know the formula existed.

The information was so relevant to me, all of it, great quotes, examples and practical information.

Fantastic.  Plain simple language, no jargon.  At times, tough hard questions, but only when needed.  Relevant and always stayed on track.  Claire, you are a gifted facilitator who knows exactly when to stop unnecessary babble ( Going to Grandma’s).

I am now re-invigorated and have started to regain my passion for my business.  Up until Friday I hated it and wanted to just get out.  I also know I do have what it takes to go out and get it.

I felt so emotional over the two days but especially on Friday because after being on the edge for months and months, almost to the point of burnout and giving up, I could genuinely see light at the end of the tunnel.  Finally I had found something positive that was the answers to all my prayers.”

Cheryl- Business Rescue

” Information and strategy very relevant to my business, it followed sound business practice, as well highlighting behavior it takes to be a winner in business.

Faith without works is dead.  Claire you had it all there.

I really thought your skill and in drawing out what we needed to address was exercised with great dignity and respect. It was successful in getting to the heart of why we were there and identified what needed to change.  It was also useful for me personally, as many of the issues in business are the same, with the same impacts.

I liked your relaxed approach…You practice what you teach, which gained my confidence.  I found you very trustworthy.

Yes, I see more clearly what I need to change.  I have operated from the emotional side, reacting rather than channeling my focus.  A lot of wasted time and energy.  I feel that my vision was lost with all the focus on menial tasks, and both Stephen and I were stuck.  We are now focusing on goals to help the business grow.

So the inspiration is back, coupled with focus to take the structured steps.”

Grant- Business Growth

I do now realise that that the energy and power to create whatever I choose is within me and not coming from anywhere else.  I have you to thank for helping me really realise this.
