Values-led agency

CLEAR AS A BELL VALUES
ENERGY BALANCE SOCIAL VALUE ENJOYMENT!
Clear as a Bell takes a values-led approach to all our services. Clare, our founder, wanted the freedom to use fully her experiences as a people-centred change-maker, strategic leader, trainer, mentor, coach, facilitator, as part of any technical expertise.
The values drive how Clear as a Bell works with you. Together they amount to creating the conditions for you and your organisation to flourish - because it's you, your team, the people around you who will make your projects vibrant and successful. You will come away with skills and a culture-building kit that will allow you to make more impact.
Living these four values can make that happen together. They guide how we work together and how we want you to feel working alongside us and are reflected in the colours, images and words used to portray Clear as a Bell.
We work with individuals and organisations who align with our own values, driven by a desire to see a social purpose to your business and personal actions, along with an open mind about your own growth and development.

Energy
Guided by lightness of touch, a galvanising force, pace, efficiency and effectiveness.
Storing energy is difficult of course, so it has to be constantly renewed and regenerated.

Balance
Guided by a sense of perspective for clarity andindependent, forthright advice, grounded in the reality of what is for the bestdecision-making.
Curiosity, learning and acceptance are building blocks for balance to use as a springboard for problem-solving, innovation and progress.

Social Value
Both are words with big meanings and, added together, could be overwhelming so we've broken it down into some simple principles (not 'easy', simple).

Guided by the principles of fair treatment, applicable results, what you get meets your expectations, working on projects that contribute to a better society and flourishing organisations.

This value also means we may turn down anything contrary to social value.

Enjoyment
Guided by building our relationship, liking the work, with a timetable that works for us both with anticipation through the process towards the results.

Enjoyment is often forgotten in the midst of busy times and deadlines. We love what we do and how it can help organisationsand people to flourish.

Clare said: "Realising I'm not enjoying the work is a wake-up call to reset or stop, or make sure I don't take on similar projects in the future. It's a fair bet in that case that you won't have enjoyed the experience either."

We don't have to be best buddies but can collaborate effectively so everyone can enjoy the process of the work itself, which in turn will improve the quality of the outputs.

Testimonials
Clare has coached, trained and provided consultancy for hundreds of people in all types of organisations, in leading people and projects with confidence, navigation new situations and establishing new ways of working.
After a single 90-minute sounding board session, Amelia said:
"Being a project manager can be a lonely place. I find myself in the ‘in between space’ often working to balance needs, surface the things that lie below the surface and bring perspectives together. And that is just the relational aspects.
"Projects are complex and dynamic and life always throws in a good dose of unpredictability. However great a project manager you might be, there will always be unexpected consequences and change to manage At times waters get muddy and it is not obvious what the best way through might be.
"This is where Clare comes in. The 90 minutes I spent with her in a Sounding Board session, brought clarity to the muddy waters I was navigating in a way I could not have imagined possible."
Amelia Wakeford , Project Manager Oct 2024.
"I was not in a healthy place.
