53: One obstacle to clarity
I coach on clarity — or figuring out what you want — a lot. I’ve realized recently there’s one thing that gets in the way of clarity with almost every client, at one point or another. And that obstacle is: thinking too much about implementation before clarity is established. So in this episode, I make my case for why we want to get clear on clarity before we even think too much about implementation + share 4 ways that I see implementation thoughts getting in the way of clarity. (Some of them are subtle + you're probably doing them without realizing.) If you want clarity and you don’t yet have it, or you just want to build your skillfulness for when you’ll need clarity in the future, this episode is for you.
