5 questions. 20 minutes. Deeper understanding.

I spent ten years at Google helping busy, brilliant people cut through complexity and make good decisions about business direction, space, culture, and teams.

Now based in San Diego, I do the same for two types of clients; small business leaders trying to figure out how their business should grow, and companies trying to figure out how their people should work. The method and outcomes are the same, only the scale is different.

Enroll in the next Clarity Clinic

The Clarity Clinic, Micro-Cohort 9
$1,195.00

June 8th, 9:30-3:30pm, Kiln, Rancho Bernardo.

Make a plan for your business. Cut through the noise. Focus on what matters most.

Over 6 hours, you’ll step away from the daily grind to work on your business, not just in it.

Through simple, structured workshopping and hands-on exercises, you’ll develop the clarity to solve your next big problem and the confidence to solve your next ten.

You’ll leave with:

  • A prioritized 30, 60, 90 day road map to clarify the next steps your business needs to thrive.

  • Fresh perspective from an intimate community of other small business owners; people who get what you’re facing.

  • A simple set of tools to give you confidence for long term challenges.

  • A sense of relief and focus — clarity instead of chaos.

This is not a theory class or a motivational talk. It’s a practical, human workshop that helps you slow down, think clearly, and make smarter choices for your business.

Led by Sam Slater, a former Google innovation strategist with 15 years of experience helping big and small companies solve complex problems. The Clarity Clinic brings proven creative methods to the everyday challenges of running a small business.

You started this for a reason.

Maybe it was freedom. Maybe it was a product you believed in, a skill you wanted to build a life around, or just the bone-deep knowledge that you weren't built to work for someone else. Whatever it was, it felt clear. It felt right.

And now you're sitting at your desk — or your kitchen table, or in your car before you walk in — wondering what happened to that person. The one who knew what they were doing.

If your business has stopped moving forward, and you can't figure out why, you're not failing. You're stuck. And those are two completely different things.
