The Humble Pie Webinar - Your Invite!
How to Work Like Clarke - one slice at a time ...
I’m running a webinar late next week, for free, that I think many of you will find useful.
(Registration link down below, but it’s probably worth reading the full post to see if it “clicks” with you.)
I want to show you how I combine consulting, coaching, mentoring & ToC into a new way of working/helping.
It’ll be useful to you if you’re an expert working as an employee or as a solo thought leader.
What kicked it off is this:
A client told me a few weeks ago, “I want to work just like you.”
I deflected with a joke about him eating more pies.
(He’s skinny. I’m not.)
But later I thought - “Clarke, you’re a dick” because that was stupid, flippant response.
I do have a way of working that’s genuinely different.
I invented it myself, though I’m sure many others quietly work the same way.
It produces far better outcomes for clients - while keeping me sane.
The key idea
It all comes down to one bottleneck idea:
→ People’s brains flood if you try to change or teach them too quickly.
Most change is done by forcing people to “drink from the firehose” and it doesn’t work. (Unless, you make your money from volume, hourly rates, and cheap bums-on-seats - which I don’t)
I work the opposite way. Small batches. Quiet moves. One thing at a time.
This respects two bottlenecks:
→ How fast my clients can absorb change
→ How much cognitive load I can handle without burning out
The result? Clients actually implement. I stay sharp.
Both our businesses make a lot more money.
The session is called, ironically:
→ Humble Pie - How to Work Like Clarke
It’s live on Friday Dec 19, 10:30 AM NZ time.
(The day before if you’re in the UK, EU, or US)
I’ll walk through:
→ Why small-batch consulting beats big-bang delivery
→ How to structure engagements so clients get fast wins without overwhelm
→ The handful of moves that let you charge premium rates while working fewer hours
→ How this works whether you’re internal or external
This isn’t theory. It’s how I’ve worked for the last 15 years with leaders across all sorts of companies - teaching ToC by doing ToC (and often hiding ToC).
I hope it will help you.
