About Clarus Consultancy

Clarus Consultancy was founded on the belief that we can Learn, Grow and Teach BETTER and we strive through holistic partnerships to empower, challenge and equip people to become highly effective in their roles and responsibilities.

Whether you are emerging into the workplace as a trainee or apprentice, or you are established in your field as a team leader or business owner, we want to help you be effective in your journey. We provide professional Growth Coaching and Mentoring for individuals and Holistic Coaching for educators and trainers.

We believe that meaningful learning starts with great teaching and great teachers are constantly learning how to lead the learning journey of others! Our Strategic Frameworks for teams and organisations are designed to allow ‘professionals who teach’, to experience the benefits of creatively integrating transformational leadership methodology into their approach to teaching and learning.

We are accredited consultants in the DISC ADVANCED® psychometric assessment system, one of the most renowned, trusted and effective behavioural profiling systems available. In partnership, we use the DISC ADVANCED® system to collaboratively develop awareness and synergy between the distinct ‘parts’ within the ‘whole’, leading to a more sustainable, enjoyable and effective working community.

Our clients are people, not positions or companies and therefore come from many different industries and roles. We provide a supportive environment for you to step back and reflect, talk about what is going on for you and provide an opportunity to creatively determine your next BEST step!
