What Clarivia Coaching Is (and Is Not)
You are good at what you do. The harder part is leading when priorities collide, people have strong opinions, and you are carrying more than your calendar shows. Clarivia provides executive and leadership coaching that helps you get clear, lead with steadier confidence, and handle the conversations that shape outcomes.
A clear definition
Clarivia coaching is a structured partnership where you strengthen how you think, decide, and communicate as a leader. We work with what is happening in your role, team, and context. Our approach focuses on Courage, Curiosity, and Compassion.
Clarivia coaching is not someone doing career tasks for you or guaranteeing an outcome. It is not resume writing, job placement, or recruiting. Clarivia’s coaching is grounded in
What Clarivia coaching is
Most clients come for leadership, not career search. Clarivia focuses on the practical realities of leading in mid-market and growth-stage environments, where resources are tight, and decisions are visible.
Executive and leadership coaching at Clarivia often supports:
- Decision clarity when everything feels urgent
- Executive presence that sounds like clear thinking and calm communication
- Influence without authority across functions and stakeholders
- Courageous conversations (feedback, conflict, accountability, boundaries) without drama
- Leading through change with imperfect information and faster learning loops
- A healthier operating rhythm (focus, delegation, sustainable pace)
- Cross-cultural and cross-functional leadership with trust and alignment across differences
What Clarivia coaching is not
Clarivia coaching is not:
- Resume writing, cover letter writing, or LinkedIn profile writing
- Recruiting, job placement, or introductions to hiring managers
- A “guaranteed promotion” or “guaranteed offer” program
- Advice that bypasses your judgment. Coaching helps you strengthen your own decision-making and follow-through
If your topic includes career growth or a transition
Clarivia supports career moves when they are treated as a leadership challenge, not a document problem. Coaching can help you:
- Clarify what you want next, and what you do not want anymore
- Make tradeoffs with confidence (impact, compensation, flexibility, risk)
- Build a clear leadership narrative, without hype
- Show up with a stronger presence in interviews and presentations
- Prepare for negotiation, including boundaries and decision timing
How coaching works (a simple rhythm)
Clarivia keeps the work concrete. Many sessions produce a next step that you can use the same week.
A practical 4-step loop:
- Name the real issue (not just the loud one)
- Map the system (stakeholders, incentives, constraints, culture)
- Choose a small, brave experiment that creates momentum
- Reflect and integrate so the learning sticks
Examples of what you might create:
- A one-page decision plan with criteria and tradeoffs
- A stakeholder map and influence plan
- A conversation outline with boundaries and likely pushback
- A two-week leadership experiment to test a new approach quickly
Coaching supports progress. It does not guarantee outcomes.
Observable outcomes (what tends to change)
People often notice changes like:
- Faster decisions with less second-guessing
- Clearer communication in meetings and high-stakes moments
- More influence across a matrix, with fewer avoidable escalations
- Better boundaries and fewer reactive yeses
- Stronger conversations with managers, peers, and direct reports
Who this is for (and who it is not)
This is for you if you are:
- A mid-market leader, often Director to VP, leading people or leading through influence
- Navigating complexity, ambiguity, and competing priorities
- Ready to build real leadership capability through real situations
This is not for you if you want:
- Done-for-you resume writing or job applications
- Recruiting or job placement
- A guaranteed timeline or outcome
If what you need is resume support
If your main need is a resume refresh, a specialist is the right choice. Look for someone who offers:
- A clear process and revision rounds
- Role targeting and impact-focused positioning
- ATS-aware formatting without keyword stuffing
- Samples you can review (anonymized is fine)
- Transparent scope and pricing
Tip: If you are not yet clear on your direction, coaching can help you make it crisp. Then resume support will be more effective.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between executive coaching and leadership coaching?
They overlap. Executive coaching often focuses on leadership at higher scope and visibility, including stakeholder management, decision-making under pressure, and executive presence. Leadership coaching can apply at any level where influence and people dynamics matter.
Do you write resumes or cover letters?
No. Clarivia does not provide resume or cover letter writing. If you need that, a specialist service is a better fit.
Do you help with job placement or introductions?
No. Clarivia coaching is not recruiting or job placement, and we do not promise employment outcomes.
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching is future-focused and action-oriented, centered on decisions, behaviors, and leadership conversations. For clinical mental health support, therapy is the right lane.
What do we actually do in a session?
We clarify the real issue, map the people and constraints around it, and choose a practical next step. Many sessions end with a plan for a key conversation, a decision framework, or a leadership experiment you can run immediately.
What if my challenge is influence, politics, or stakeholder tension?
That is a core use case for Clarivia. Coaching helps you read the system clearly, choose your strategy, and communicate with courage and composure.
Can coaching help me lead without burning out?
Coaching can support healthier boundaries, better delegation, and a more sustainable operating rhythm. It does not remove workload. It improves how you lead within it.
How quickly will I see results?
Many leaders feel more clarity quickly. Sustainable change comes from practicing new decisions and conversations over time. Coaching supports progress, not guarantees.
What is coaching, according to the ICF?
If you want a formal definition, the International Coaching Federation (ICF) provides a clear explanation of what coaching is and how it works.
Do you follow a professional code of ethics?
Yes. Professional coaching standards include ethics and competencies. If those matter to you, it is worth reviewing the ICF Code of Ethics and the ICF Core Competencies.
