About Us
Why Work With Us
As organizations and leaders adjust to the ever-changing economic environment, they must ask themselves:
- What skills do leaders need to develop a compelling new vision?
- How will leaders need to act differently than they have in the past?
- What agreements and behaviors have to be in place in order to pull the business strategy through successfully?
- What level of buy-in exists on the team to ensure success?
- What’s in place to ensure the change will stick?
Clarity Compass Consulting is uniquely qualified not only to know the right questions, but more importantly, guide you through a process to co-create the answers, develop and apply the vision, and foster the agreements and skills necessary to transform your leadership culture and fulfill your business strategy and commitments.
What Our Clients Are Saying
I was fascinated by the effectiveness and simplicity of the Clarity Compass the very first time I learned it. I have decided to use it in my team after my return to Germany and I could immediately see the results: our meetings are now more effective, our communication is efficient, quick and goal oriented. We are driving actions with more focus and definitively getting better results.

Our Approach
Our egos are so invested in believing the “mental maps” we’ve made about reality that we seldom realize our cognitive bias—how we assume that our conclusions about life are solid and complete. The truth is, our “mental maps” are highly subjective, and therefore incomplete and often faulty. This results in blind spots that lead to ineffective choices, toxic patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that hold us back from our true potential.
The Clarity Compass approach, along with supporting tools such as the Negative Statement and Core Symbol, helps you pinpoint your blind spots, move through them, and broaden your perspective to invite new possibilities, so you can be freer, happier, and more effective. Learn more about the Clarity Compass methodology in the book The Clarity Compass.
Our goal at Clarity Compass Consulting is to support individuals, teams and organizations in powerfully transforming to their next level of well-being and effectiveness. We provide support and guidance for individuals and groups into having deep insights about themselves, others and the world that provides richness in living and a bountiful work life specifically through the use of the Clarity Compass tool.
Our History
The idea of the Clarity Compass started in 1984 when Brit Poulson was a management consultant working with companies that were just beginning to become major organizations. As their world continued to become more and more complex, Brit saw a way to provide a framework that would break down those problems into more simple and conquerable issues. This framework continued to evolve as he worked on his PhD and also brought into play mental maps and individual paradigms. That original framework has become the Clarity Compass tool and is now used in both training courses and one-on-one coaching.
