Who is behind Clear as a Bell?

About Clare Bamberger

I have coached and trained dozens of people - business owners, new team managers, heads of department, directorate teams and CEOs in SMEs and charities in how to take new look, leave the BBAU behind and catch those opportunities.

After a single 90-minute sounding board session, Amelia said:

"Being a project manager can be a lonely place.

"I find myself in the ‘in between space’ often working to balance needs, surface the things that lie below the surface and bring perspectives together. And that is just the relational aspects.

"Projects are complex and dynamic and life always throws in a good dose of unpredictability. However great a project manager you might be, there will always be unexpected consequences and change to manage At times waters get muddy and it is not obvious what the best way through might be.

"This is where Clare comes in. The 90 minutes I spent with her in a Sounding Board session, brought clarity to the muddy waters I was navigating in a way I could not have imagined possible."

"I was not in a healthy place.

"I've learnt the importance of carving out time to care for myself and get a grip on managing the business and running a team."

"I tried your listening technique.

That has changed the dynamic by unblocking resistance. I have involved that person in working in the new ways with success"

How did I get here?

I’ve spent a career setting up and running my own small language and consultancy service businesses and setting up new teams. To get faster and more sustainable results, I created the culture where teams work better together to have more impact.

Today I'm on a mission to share what I learnt to help you involve the right people at the right time, for lasting and sustainable success.
