Hi, I’m Lee.

I’m Lee Chaix McDonough, a business coach, therapist, and the creator of Coach with Clarity®.

I believe powerful coaches can change the world. When service-driven professionals are equipped with a flexible, values-based coaching approach, there’s no limit to the transformation their clients and communities will experience.

Coach with Clarity is a holistic framework that fuses meaning, mindset, and mindfulness with grounded intuition and solid business strategy to help you excel at entrepreneurship and transform your life and the lives of your clients.

As part of that framework, I’ve created the Certified Clarity Coach training program, an ICF accredited certification program designed to train and certify intuitive, service-focused professionals to become powerful coaches.

During this 4-month, 60 hour program, you’ll build your foundations as a coach and get practical experience coaching others. You’ll learn a unique coaching modality that’s inspired by the tenets of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). With a focus on meaning, mindset, and mindfulness, this ACT-informed approach to coaching will help you support clients and your own personal growth.

You’ll graduate the program with mastery of the Coach with Clarity Framework, equipped with both the skill set and the mindset to be an extraordinary coach and a successful entrepreneur.

The Coach with Clarity Approach

The Certified Clarity Coach training program is anchored in the 4 pillars of the Coach with Clarity Framework:

Coaching Skills

Knowing how to coach powerfully is the basis of creating extraordinary experiences for your clients. Everything we do is anchored in the ICF Core Competencies to ensure a competent and ethical coaching practice.

Business Growth

Because if you want to serve your clients powerfully, you need a strong business to support you. Clear business operations and consistent revenue generation power your business engine.

Intentional Use of Self

There’s a path to share your wisdom, knowledge, and experience while centering your client to help them achieve their vision. Because no matter how many skills and tools you have at your disposal, YOU are your best resource.

Intuition and Energy

We're all intuitive, energetic beings, and every interaction and experience has an energetic signature. As coaches, we harness our intuitive abilities and follow the energy to best serve our clients.

After successfully completing the program, you will:

  • Establish and maintain high-functioning coaching partnerships anchored in mutual trust and respect, congruent values, and professionalism.
  • Apply a structured approach to coaching partnerships to consistently guide clients through clarifying their vision, co-creating goals for the overall coaching experience and for individual sessions, and taking values-aligned action.

“This program is foundational for anyone who is looking to start a coaching business.”

Before joining, I wanted to get my coaching business off the ground, but I felt stuck. I did not feel like I had the skill set to move forward.

As a Certified Clarity Coach, I feel much more confident in my coaching skills. I am primed to launch a group coaching offering in 2021. I recommend this program to my fellow entrepreneurial coaches because it offers learning around all aspects of coaching: skills, business, mindset, program development, and more.

“Lee has created a comprehensive program that everyone can benefit from.”

“Prior to becoming a Certified Clarity Coach, I was not as knowledgeable as I wanted to be about coaching. I was concerned that building a coaching business would be too much of a learning curve.

Since enrolling I have benefited in so many ways. I have gained knowledge on coaching skills, styles, and structures, business building and so much more! Lee taught me so much about coaching and is generous with her knowledge, yet I always feel like her delivery is light which helps me learn. She is an open minded and unbiased coach.”

The next round of the Certified Clarity Coach program will begin on May 31, 2023.

The Certified Clarity Coach program is a 60-hour training program, separated into three phases.

Mentor coaching sessions are held on Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm or 2-3pm Eastern Time. 

Click here to download the tentative schedule.

All peer coaching and self-directed learning can be scheduled at the student’s discretion.

Students should plan on 2-5 hours per week (2 hours of classroom learning, 1 hour for mentor coaching, and 2 hours for peer coaching sessions), plus additional time for review and study.

Participants are expected to attend training sessions live, to engage in the discussions and activities to their fullest ability.

However, we understand that life happens, and it may be necessary to miss an occasional session due to emergencies. All instructional sessions will be recorded for later viewing.

Group mentor coaching sessions must be attended live. If a student needs to miss a mentor coaching session, they will need to schedule a make-up 1:1 mentor coaching session with Lee for an additional cost.

In the event of an emergency or unavoidable conflict during a Tuesday classroom learning session, participants are expected to watch the session replay, which will be available in the student portal within 24 hours of the session, and complete a short assignment on that session's topics.

Group mentor coaching sessions cannot be made up. If missed, the student must schedule an additional 1:1 mentor coaching session with Lee, at an additional cost.

The Certified Clarity Coach training program includes 60 contact hours. These hours are broken down as follows:

  • 30 hours of classroom learning and skill application, including 5 hours of self-directed skill development (reading course texts and completing accompanying assignments)
  • 20 hours of skill application during peer coaching (2 hours per week – one as peer coach, one as peer client)
  • 10 hours of mentor coaching (7 group, 3 individual)

The Master Certified Clarity Coach program includes an additional 65 contact hours – 45 instruction and application, 20 peer coaching.

The Certified Clarity Coach program is a pre-requisite for the Master Certified Clarity Coach program. However, exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis for students who have already completed a Level 1 program from another institution.

At present, the Certified Clarity Coach program is 100% online. All classroom learning sessions and coaching labs are conducted via Zoom. In-person training may be considered in the future.

The Certified Clarity Coach training program is conducted in English.

The training program includes ten hours of peer coaching. Participants will be paired with a peer coach and with a peer client, and are expected to conduct ten one-hour sessions with each. Participants should coordinate a schedule for peer coaching with their assigned partners.

When in the role of peer client, participants agree to come to the session prepared with an appropriate topic for coaching, and to support the peer coach in applying the skills covered in the learning sessions and coaching labs. Peer clients will be asked to provide constructive feedback to their peer coach at regular intervals during the ten-week coaching relationship.

When in the role of peer coach, participants agree to treat the peer coaching relationship as if it were a professional coaching relationship. The peer coach agrees to maintain client privacy and will not disclose information shared in a coaching session with anyone other than Coach with Clarity faculty.

If there are any conflicts or issues in the peer coaching relationship, participants are expected to first engage in conflict resolution with their partner, if appropriate. If a participant is unable to achieve resolution or has specific concerns that are not appropriate to discuss directly with their partner, they should notify the Training Director.

The tuition for the Level 1 Certified Clarity Coach program is $7500.

Yes, we do! All students must submit a non-refundable $1500 deposit to secure their space in the cohort.

The remaining $6000 balance may be remitted in one payment ($6000, due May 15th) or five monthly payments ($1200 each, due on the 15th of the month starting May 15th).
