Coaching Model: CLEARER

How do you achieve transformative results in a few coaching sessions? At Meraki Coaching, we believe there are two essential ingredients: skilled coaching paired with a consistent model. At Meraki coaching, the use of the CLEARER model guides each session. This model is based on the CLEAR model, which was developed in the 1980s as a 5 step approach to coaching.  The CLEAR model has been modified to align with the Meraki Coaching process, including the addition of the suffix “ER”, representing Evaluate and Refine to the traditional model. The CLEARER model is intended to help coaches and coachees focus on solutions and goals rather than to get stuck in problems, and to have a clear road map to continuously monitor progress and shift to best meet each individual coach need. In each coaching session, you will be guided through the CLEARER steps to move towards practical ideas and solutions to achieve wellness.picture5logo
