Bringing your organisation into focus
Clarity Development works with churches, charities and businesses to enable and resource leaders in their role. Through one-to-one coaching and group training, leaders develop skills, understanding, competence and confidence.
Everything Clarity Development does is practical, tailored to the organisation and relevant to the issues and challenges that need to be addressed. Leaders identify personal action plans and make themselves accountable for changes in behaviours, attitudes and actions. Clarity Development believes that as leaders flourish their colleagues, teams and customers have the opportunity to flourish too.
Clarity Development resources leaders to enable healthy conflict and constructive problem solving through non-anxious leadership, open and honest discussion, clear speaking and good listening. We work with leaders in groups and through coaching and with leadership teams to develop skills and confidence to disagree well and build strong, open relationships when making tough decisions.
Our mediators work with churches experiencing conflict by supporting church leaders and congregations as they journeying through conflict, developing new ways of doing things and addressing issues. Clarity Development believes it is possible for conflict to be a time of transformation.
Sandra Cobbin’s Grove Booklet ‘Leadership resilience in conflict’ is a helpful resource for anyone in leadership.
Buy the Book“Too many church leaders experience times of paralysis because of conflict, I hope this booklet will be a gift to unknot that straitjacket for many of them. Sandra invites us to reflect with her theologically, to use tools forged in the wisdom of experience, but beyond this to have faith that when faced with conflict we need not be afraid.”
“One of the greatest challenges in running a Christian charity is that many expect perfection, but we are part of a broken world; we are broken people. Conflict invites us into the Lord’s redemptive plan. I highly recommend Leadership Resilience in Conflict; it won’t eliminate conflict, but it will help you engage with it more redemptively.”
Myers Briggs is a personality profiling tool which helps us understand ourselves and others better. Myers Briggs does not seek to box or label the person, but rather to release them into being more fully themselves whilst releasing those around them to be more fully themselves.
Clarity Development uses Myers Briggs in training and coaching, developing understanding of self and others. Myers Briggs creates a shared understanding and vocabulary to strengthen teams and enables leaders and teams to flourish.
The opportunity to step away from the demands of the role, reflect with another person on the last year and look forward with them to the coming year can be a fruitful, encouraging, challenging and worthwhile experience.
