Values Coaching with the Clarity Method by Tim Brownson

A coaching podcast with Tim Brownson and Tobias Weghorn exploring values coaching as a practical way to create clarity when clients feel stuck, conflicted, or at odds with other people or their workplace. Tim (aka “The Fully Booked Coach”) breaks down his Clarity Method step-by-step: identifying what’s non-negotiable, using a values ranking exercise to build a core values hierarchy, and then spotting internal and external value conflicts. You’ll also hear why anti-values in coaching matter just as much as “positive” values, and how they can reveal what clients are strongly motivated to move away from. If you’re looking to learn coaching approaches that get concrete quickly, this coaching podcast is a hands-on walkthrough you can borrow for your next session.Key Learnings:Use values coaching to turn “I don’t know what to do” into a clear choice: define the client’s meaning behind each value word, then build a core values hierarchy instead of assuming you both mean the same thing by “freedom,” “integrity,” or “connection.”Run a fast values ranking exercise (pairwise comparisons) to reduce overthinking and surface gut-level priorities; use the resulting values hierarchy to highlight internal and external value conflicts driving the client’s stress or indecision.Add anti-values in coaching by asking “Which is worse for you?” and rank them the same way; use anti-values to explain strong negative reactions (people/companies) and to uncover missing values (e.g., avoiding arrogance can point to valuing authenticity).Resources:Tim Brownson’s Website: https://thefullybookedcoach.com Tim Brownson’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/timbrownson The Clarity Method (Book): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45858326-the-clarity-method The online coaching platform Tobi & Tim use on their demo: https://metaFox.online Find your paper-based Coaching Tool: https://metaFox.euConnect with Tobi on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/tobiasweghornEpisode Chapters:00:00 Anti-Values And Moving Away From What You Don’t Want01:00 Values Coaching, The Clarity Method, And Value Conflicts03:00 Why Values Create Breakthroughs (More Than Other Tools)08:00 The 3 Stages: Define Values, Build A Core Values Hierarchy, Resolve Conflicts12:00 Clarifying What A Value Word Means To The Client18:00 Money Isn’t A Value: What Money Represents27:00 The Values Ranking Exercise (Pairwise Comparisons)34:00 Anti-Values In Coaching: Rank What’s “Worst,” Not What You Prefer41:00 Internal And External Value Conflicts In Real Client Situations51:00 How To Learn Coaching With The Clarity Method (Getting Started)
