Ep. 55 The Silent Habit High Performers Use to Find Clarity with Kathleen Huebner

This week on CLARATY in Action, Clara sits down with transformational mindset coach, speaker, and author Kathleen Huebner for a powerful conversation on something most people avoid but desperately need… silence. In a world full of constant noise, distractions, notifications, and pressure to always be “on,” many people are losing the very thing they need most: clarity. Kathleen shares how silence creates the space for self-awareness, healing, growth, creativity, and intentional decision-making. She explains why high performers are not constantly reacting to the world around them — they create moments to pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. Together, Clara and Kathleen explore: * Why silence is essential for clarity and emotional wellness * How constant noise keeps us disconnected and overwhelmed * The connection between stillness and high performance * Learning to trust your inner voice * How mindfulness and intentional pauses improve leadership, relationships, and decision-making * Why growth happens when we slow down long enough to listen This episode is a reminder that clarity is not found in chaos. It is found in the quiet moments we often try to avoid. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or mentally exhausted, this conversation will challenge you to stop filling every moment with noise and start creating space for what truly matters.

Ep. 54 Stop Running in Circles: The Systems You NEED to Scale Without Burnout with Rose Tausaga

This week on CLARATY in Action, we are diving into one of the biggest game changers in business and leadership… SYSTEMS. Because let’s be honest — most people are not overwhelmed because they have too much to do. They are overwhelmed because there is no clear system for HOW things get done. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Rose Tausaga, founder of EPIC Systems [https://epicsysinc.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com] , to talk about why systems are not restrictive… they are FREEDOM. We break down: * Why systems create clarity and consistency * The hidden cost of “winging it” * How lack of structure leads to burnout, frustration, and wasted time * Why strong systems create more space for creativity, leadership, and growth * How effective systems help teams communicate better and perform at a higher level * The key mindset shift leaders need to stop operating in constant chaos If you feel like you are always reacting, constantly putting out fires, or working harder but not getting ahead… this episode is for you. Because the goal is not to fill every second of your calendar. The goal is to create systems that give you the freedom to focus on the work that actually matters most. More clarity. Less chaos. Better results. That’s the power of systems.  Meet Rose: Rose Tausaga is recognized for her, "client-first" approach, combining high-level negotiation skills with personal care.

Ep 53 The Truth About Accountability: Why High Performers Actually Crave It with Tracy Peterson Nienabor

This week on CLARATY In Action, I sit down with Master Ninja Coach Tracy Peterson-Nienaber to bust one of the biggest myths in leadership, business, and personal growth: Accountability is NOT a punishment. Somewhere along the way, accountability became a “naughty word” — something people fear, avoid, or associate with criticism and failure. But the truth? Healthy accountability is actually one of the greatest tools for growth, clarity, confidence, and high performance. In this powerful conversation, we break down: * Why accountability matters in leadership and life * The hidden cost of avoiding accountability * Why people resist it * How accountability creates momentum and trust * Practical ways to make accountability easier and more empowering * How teams and individuals can build healthier habits without shame or burnout We also dive into how accountability is deeply connected to clarity, communication, and culture — because people perform better when expectations and ownership are clear. If you’ve ever struggled with follow-through, difficult conversations, team performance, or creating consistency in your life or business, this episode will challenge the way you think about accountability forever.

Ep. 51 Ep. 51 How Thinking Small Limits Your Growth with Carol Schultz

This week on CLARATY in Action, I sit down with Carol Schultz, founder and CEO of Vertical Elevation, for a real, no-BS conversation about one of the biggest traps leaders fall into: thinking too small. Carol brings decades of experience in executive search, leadership coaching, and building what she calls talent-centric organizations—businesses that align people, strategy, and vision to actually drive results. But here’s the truth we unpack in this episode: Most leaders aren’t stuck because they lack ability… they’re stuck because they’ve unconsciously shrunk their thinking. We talk about: How “playing small” shows up in decision-making, hiring, and leadership habits The blind spots that keep business owners doing everything themselves instead of scaling Why alignment—at the leadership level first—is the key to unlocking growth across the entire organization And the hard truth: if you don’t expand your thinking, your business will never outgrow you Carol shares powerful insights on shifting from reactive leadership to intentional growth, and why investing in the right support (instead of trying to do it all) is often the breakthrough move leaders resist the most. This episode is a wake-up call to stop operating in limitation and start leading with clarity, vision, and bold decision-making. Bottom line: If your business feels stuck, it’s not just strategy—it’s mindset. And until you think bigger, nothing else changes. Carol Schultz is a recognized thought leader in the business world best known for her creation of “Talent-Centric Organizations” (TCOs). She has dedicated her career to creating spaces where employees feel valued and engaged, leadership is aligned, and the bottom line is ever-growing.  Years into her career, she noticed a pattern in the problems her clients were facing. CEOs had repeatedly approached her with what they thought was a “recruiting problem” or a “retention problem” because they were losing employees. However, it was revealed to be the same deeper issue every time: prioritizing money over talent.   Carol spent years researching and formulating an approach to this systemic problem. In her best-selling book, “Powered By People”, she uncovered a path forward: talent-centricity.  She then designed and launched Vertical Elevation, a talent equity and leadership coaching and advisory firm dedicated to transforming companies into TCOs. To date, she and her team have helped businesses in almost every industry. Not only does she assist clients privately, but she also does speaking engagements to educate leaders collectively.   Passionate about entrepreneurship and inspiring future founders, she also hosts the “Evolving Your Workplace Show”, a podcast where she interviews various founders about their successes and failures. 🎙️ About Claraty in Action Welcome to Claraty in Action—the podcast that cuts through the noise to bring you clear, confident, and actionable strategies for life and business.
