Change is of course inevitable, so we believe that you will, with positive intention, make the best choices towards your mission, and that you have the resources within you to succeed in your projects.

Advantace offers a safety zone of self-respect, positive mindset and progress; it is the home of encouragement, enthusiasm and finding passion and energy to achieve SMARRT goals.

SMARRT Steps Forward

The Advantace Clarity  objective is to achieve S.M.A.R.R.T. workable steps towards your mission:
Your steps will be kept Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Relevant, Timely

This flows from a continuous, creative conversation. Clients move effortlessly among ideas congruent to their projects. In the optimal relationship, we are co-creative. There’s an energy that occurs in the relationship, something electric that happens.

Effective relationship should be a catalyst for clients to arrive at insights, solutions, new ideas, and behaviors that they would not have achieved on their own.

Advantace is enabling ; Phil’s objective is to mine the gold from his client’s own wisdom.

Most clients come with

(1) a craving to make a change,

(2) a calling to make a difference or

(3) an experiential void (something must be better).

We help each client discover or fuel his or her enthusiastic mission to answer such questions.

Such a mission may be a business, project, relationship, renewed vision, a career, or an adventure into unknown capabilities.

Phil serves as confidential sounding board, life-watcher/co-learner, brainstorm partner, and devoted champion.

Phil’s approach focuses on future possibilities and on unlocking potential, not on past mistakes or correcting problems. He encourages clients to take a holistic approach – to access the compass of one’s heart, fuel physical energy, and give birth to bold plans of the mind.

Focus is not the same as clarity.

You need focus, but life is more complex than one goal.

Advantace strives for the client’s entire experience to be a holistic awareness.

For example in addition to having a great position for which you are passionate, you can also remove any stressed or disrespectful environments. You can have more abundance in your life.

Advantace offers more.

Advantace Clarity incorporates Frederick La Loux’s Evolutionary-Teal principles for the emerging optimum organizations; which is a soul-full organization.

Being Clear about Boundaries of Self

You cannot be everything to everybody, and knowing your boundaries, when to protect and when to risk your precious time, is critical for an abundant life. Our coaching emphasizes that you can only control what is within your own skin and thought. Everything else is about influence and inspiration.

You are a leader, but you may shy away from the role at times. That is natural. Take ownership of your importance to the organization, but also to your family and friends.

We provide a safe and supportive environment that produces on-going mutual respect and trust. Advantace uses simple yet powerful tools such as backtracking. Backtracking allows for understanding of new information, while offering you greater awareness of your thinking process.

Do you remember the important concept of Management By Wandering Around? Without observing the people you are leading, you will be walking in the dark. What scientist would not take samples to ensure quality? Advantace recommends Clarity By Being Observant, especially regarding those who will action your key immediate delegations.

Advantace goes way beyond just hearing what people are saying; it stretches into syntax, tone of voice, and body language. Advantace seeks to view the world through your  perspective, to understand the meaning of what you say in the context of your values and goals. Such active listening is an incredibly important step towards better communication skills.

Advantace uses open-ended questions to evoke discovery, insight, commitment and action that moves clients forward. Open-ended questioning is a simple concept that shifts conversations from plain and boring to expansive and thought provoking.

Open the door to a new, extremely powerful kind of goal setting. Advantace is outcome orientated, always evaluating if you are on track and taking action to reach your goal. We use S.M.A.R.R.T (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, relevant and timely) goal setting to ensure total understanding and accountability.

We systematically explore specific concerns and opportunities that are central to the client’s agreed goals. As a Client, you will be led to prioritize issues and guided through difficult decisions. We empower our clients to identify positive action on their own. Mastery of designing actions opens a whole new dimension in the way you create long-term success.

We aim for long-term positive change. We use precise time management tools to promote your own self-discipline and hold you accountable for the results of intended actions. Changing attitudes and behavior to reach agreed goals is significantly easier when accountability is present.

Prepare Before Launching

We all have launching power at our disposal, but do we understand what any ballooning enthusiast will know.  It is not “Ready, launch, prepare” of course.  Planning in this sense is fully aware of the reality of change, in that external factors will and must affect your planning. You need to know the current wind direction, weather patterns and team resources before launching.

Holding onto mission statements, corporate goals and such as if they are inert law will not serve you. A good ballooning team needs to be ready, determine what the environment is for today, and then will launch as and when the day evolves. It requires listening and observing with clarity in order to launch towards your new star system.

Powerful D-lineators

In order to delineate every goal, task, objective, plan, request, demand and expectation that is a part of everyone’s day, Advantace offers D-lineators © as a powerful Clarity tool. (Other tools are described in Resources- Tools and Methods)
