Client Praise

“I hired Denise to help me design an offsite for my team focused on alignment and strategy for the next year. The experience she created was extremely productive and deeply impactful, and in the end completely exceeded my expectations. In a short period of time, Denise helped us to address long-standing roadblocks using real-time conflict resolution and offering tools for better communication that promote collaboration. We witnessed several breakthroughs both in the group dynamics and in individual leadership identity and style that will have long-standing impact on our work. Denise’s method and skilled coaching helped us to accomplish a tremendous among in a short period of time and left the entire team feeling clear, empowered and energized about the opportunities ahead. I have never seen such an effective offsite coach in any corporate environment, and I would enthusiastically recommend Denise and her approach to other companies and leaders.”

“Denise has a unique power to understand what makes leaders and their organizations tick and applies that understanding in ways that challenge your thinking and habits. I found her insights and the BeClear Method to really open my mind to new possibilities and it’s served me well ever since.” ​

“Miso Robotics had just gone through a management transition and was in dire need of getting the teams comfortable with brand-new executive leadership, realignment around the new goals, and a heightened sense of focus to allow each team member to achieve their individual objectives. Denise quickly achieved alignment across all stakeholders in the business and the critical path to success. Denise, and the Be Clear Method easily saved the company several months of critical time and now The team is more productive, empowered, accountable and highly motivated than they’ve ever been.”

“Warning, this not a formula; not a fill in the blanks dogma. Using the BeClear Method teaches you to look deep inside yourself— past and present—and find your own effective solutions to the dilemmas you face. Denise Spatafora’s BeClear method is a treasure map, where YOU get to determine where the X marks the spot, showing you how to find it…but the treasure is all yours.”

“Denise has exceptional abilities to surface the underlying issues of people’s positions and perspectives, enabling team members to best understand each other and reach common ground. BeClear has proven extremely valuable for us and, as evidence of the value I feel she has delivered, have recommended her to well over a dozen other founders and ceos. Denise, you made me work very hard. I am forever grateful.” 

“Working with Denise and following the BeClear Method has been transformative for our company and specifically our leadership team. She is a transformative business adviser, leadership coach, and objective masterful referee all in one who is able to cut through the BS with laser clarity. She defined a pathway to short-term and long-term success for our team and our business and pushed us to identify and achieve goals that were lofty but attainable.”

“I’d sum up working with Denise and the BeClear Method in these words: Clarity, Alignment, Action and “By-When”. It’s really that simple but deeply profound and takes courage, commitment and honesty. Remaining faithful to integrating the work using the BeClear Method tools, I grew in surprising ways I never thought was possible.”

“Denise is a soothsayer and a visionary, all rolled up in to one neat packet of energy. Her ability like virtual radar, to cut through the surface in conversations to pinpoint the heart of the matter in any situation is uncanny and accurate. A compassion that goes back generations coupled with deep understanding of business gained from years of experience as an entrepreneur, makes Denise a national treasure.”

“Working with Denise made my job as an executive in charge of a $200Million Company that much easier. My Goal: Recalibrate a disjointed and arcane approach to sales and service delivery, harnessing our teams strengths and minimizing our weaknesses, leaving us aligned and driven. Denise did incredible “pre-work” understanding the goals, the players, issues, obstacles and objections. Despite this group of otherwise cynical and mistrusting individuals, Denise managed to gain consensus and action-oriented conversations and collaborations. Through her passion to learn, understand, teach and support, everyone was creating, participating and integrating communication tools and the strategic road map for the year. After the two-day off-site, they continued to refine the implementation of goals/ideas and three months later agreed that they not only were fully aligned but accountable and on track for all their goals.”

“Denise and I met at one of the most pivotal moments in my career.  I had just become a first-time mom and received a major promotion at work. However, before I could fully wrap my mind around the excitement of either development, I found myself thrust into a situation where I would need to restructure the organization, redefine its mission AND chart a path forward – all while managing a complex network of stakeholders to meet some nearly impossible deadlines.  I was, overwhelmed and intimidated to say the least. Our parent company had hired Denise as an executive coach and business strategist for me – and I was, at first very skeptical of an outsider’s ability to provide any value for me or the company at a time when the stakes were so high.  I am delighted to say, I couldn’t have been more wrong.  In my first meeting with Denise she cut through all of my hang-ups and excuses and helped me to articulate the core challenge and opportunities before me, personally and professionally.  By our 3rd meeting, we had literally mapped a corporate strategy and personal vision statement – on the back of a napkin.  It’s now a 1 ½ years later and the company we carved out is striving, and has grown by every meaningful KPI (revenue, profit, employee satisfaction).  Denise was a career-saver for me and highly recommend her for anyone looking to get CLEAR and drive real results.”
