About Your Big Vision Dreams...
If you ever catching yourself thinking, "I can't do that, because..." then we need to talk!
You're hungry to make a difference in the world...
But what you're doing isn't getting you the results you're dreaming of.
I've been where you're at. I have got the proverbial t-shirt from doing every course I could find, trying out every hot-new-stuff technique, reading gazillions of 'this-fixes-everything' articles, listening to podcasts, watching countless videos, and spending a fortune on high-end programmes, trying to figure out ways to satisfy my deep-down hunger to make the difference I knew I was here to make.
But, despite the promises, the results were hit and miss. And, worse:
I thought it was my fault.
Nowadays, in the work I do, I see so many passionate world-changers - entrepreneurs and business leaders - who have spent thousands on every programme and training they can find, so they can be the best they can be, and make the difference they dream of.
But it isn't working for them, either.
Over the years, I spent THOUSANDS, studying with the best of the best of small business mentors and personal development trainers, but I never seemed to get the results they got. And, if I'm totally honest, I felt like a failure and a fraud.
And nobody was talking about this.
Instead, my social media feed and email inbox were full of glossy images of super-successful people telling me that their strategy was the only one that could ever work for me. Newbie coaches were packaging themselves as experienced business mentors. People with great photography and fabulous graphic designers were telling me it was all down to how I was / wasn't using social media, or Facebook ads, or Instagram stories, or the right email sequence funnels, or 'conversion tactics', or some other 'outside world' strategy.
I thought everyone was being hugely successful - and I felt like a fraud - an imposter.
I even convinced myself that I was somehow 'broken' and needed to find someone to 'fix' me - that I wasn't thinking the 'right' thoughts or was missing the right mindset or wasn't doing the right 'manifesting' rituals, so it was all my fault.
Then one day the lightbulb went on. I woke up and realised that I was putting all of the effort into the 'outside actions', but not focusing on clearing out my hidden 'inside world' blocks. As an NLP Trainer ('user manual' for your brain) since 2003, that was a bit of an embarrassing DUH moment. 😉
I was subconsciously self-sabotaging.
I was being held back by self-imposed glass ceilings that I didn't even realise were there. I was secretly terrified of being successful. So a tiny bit inside of me made sure I kept playing small, no matter how big I was dreaming.
I had to change the way I saw myself - to allow myself to become the person I needed to be.
It went way beyond 'mindset' and 'thinking'.
The breakthroughs finally came when I got totally clear about my Big Vision and reconnected with my passion.
I got excited about clearing out those hidden blocks, beliefs, fears, excuses and habits that had been getting in the way. Otherwise there was no way I was going to be able take the inspired action that was needed for me to reach the audience that was desperate to hear my message.
And it worked.
It worked so well, it blew me away.
I want it to work for you, too.
I want you to be able to stop having to try so hard. I dream of a day when you can easily step into your Soul-Shoes and show the world your authentic Inner Genius, without feeling fearful or worrying about what others might think.
I had learned a vital Truth:
You have all the answers you need, already,
inside of yourself.
And I would love to show you how to find them.
I feel passionately about empowering you to make the difference you are longing to make, living your life’s purpose to the full and inspiring others to do the same.
And I have spent the past 15 years specialising in helping people just like you to do the ‘inside work’ that makes their ‘outside dreams’ fall into place.
Dream-Trashing Warning Signs You Don't Want To Ignore
- You're secretly feeling stuck. Going through the motions? Procrastinating? Overwhelmed? Exhausted? All of these are signs that you're subconsciously blocking your success.
- You chase the latest, new shiny thing - or solution.
You constantly move from one exciting idea to the next, meaning your best work never gets a chance to grow and take off. - You're doing the right things, but they're just not working.
You're doing everything the 'gurus' and experts recommend - but somehow it's just not working for you. - You secretly fear you'll never be a success.
Your heart is calling you to step up and make a bigger difference in the world, but you're terrified you'll fail. - You feel like a fraud.
Imposter syndrome - you see everyone else's success and feel bad about feeling jealous, but when will it be your turn? - You turn down golden opportunities.
And you'll usually have good reasons, but with hindsight you wish you had said yes more - and done fewer freebies. - You're secretly ready to jack it all in.
You dread opening your inbox. You're drowning in your 'to do' list. You're so busy you barely have time to pee, but you're not getting the results you deserve. But you've still got that voice inside you, calling you to make the difference you know you are here to make, so you keep going, despite how you're feeling about the journey.
It doesn't have to be that way.
My mentoring clients know my secret - that there are three steps to setting yourself free to make the difference you're here to make in the world:
GET TOTALLY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT
Get 110% connected with a Big Vision that excites and inspires you - and energises you.
So few of us really have this level of clarity. But when you're deeply connected with your Big Why and the difference you're uniquely here to make, it gives you fast-track access to the passion that will give you the courage to stretch old comfort zones and get your message out there, making the difference you're here to make. It gets you out of your own way, because you're 100% committed to serving your Dream Audience, instead of worrying about not being ready yet or not being good enough.
CLEAR OUT YOUR HIDDEN BLOCKS
Discover how to spot - and easily release - the hidden blocks, fears, excuses and worries that have kept you stuck, dreaming big but playing small.
You can put an end to self-doubt, self-sabotage and feeling like a fraud. You can crank up your confidence, so that you no longer subconsciously use overwhelm and procrastination to protect yourself from your secret fear of being seen - and even being successful.
TAKE INSPIRED ACTION - THE STUFF THAT CREATES BREAKTHROUGHS, NOT BURNOUT!
Take the actions that make the vital difference. Learn how to trust your intuition - and how to connect with your Dream Team. You were never meant to be doing this alone.
You can find yourself feeling excited about your work again, feeling in flow, rather than feeling like you're having to try too hard, constantly pushing boulders uphill through treacle. And things fall into place more easily, taking less time and energy to get better results.
Remember: success is 20% about what you do and 80% about your inner world.
It goes so much deeper than 'mindset' and 'attitude'. They're useful sticky plasters, but they're not enough.
The real gems lie beneath the surface.
Changing the world is an inside job.
It’s less about what you do – and more about who you allow yourself to become.
I want to make it easy for you.
I'd love to share my insider secrets and inspirational, practical strategies from the past 15 years of mentoring passionate World-Changers, just like you.
The world needs you, now, not 'one day' when you're feeling 'ready'.
Somewhere out there, right now,
someone is lying awake at night,
dreaming of the solution that
only you can offer.
Imagine - humour me here! - how it might feel, once you have reconnected with the passion of your Big Vision, cleared out your hidden blocks and are taking inspired action towards your dreams...
What might the 80-year-old version of you tell you about that?
We Don't Do 'Sticky Plasters'
Did you know that 'pushing on through' and 'fake it till you make it' actually makes things worse, setting up inner conflicts that make you MORE likely to self-sabotage?
That pretending you're ok, despite waking up at 3am with Imposter Syndrome ISN'T something you have to put up with?
When we work together, you get to clear out the root causes of the 'mindset-level' blocks, so you never have to worry about them again. It's fast, fun and forever.
Here's What You Get:
Online Masterclasses
Most months I run live teaching sessions, where we deep-dive on key 'inside work' topics.

Who Is The Passionate World Changer Club For?
You might be running a business, you might be a freelancer, you might be self-employed, you might be working in or managing someone else's business. The 'inside work' we do in the Passionate World Changer Club will work for you, whatever it is you are doing with your days - and whatever it is that you want to achieve or create.
What counts is that you're here to make a difference and you know it's time to 'get out of your own way'.
If you enjoy the way I work and want to make more of a commitment to yourself and your future, but aren't yet ready for a Mastermind or one-to-one mentoring, then the Passionate World Changer Club is the perfect way to take the next step. In it, I share with you the 'inside work' that makes the vital 'outside world' difference.
And it is priced as close as I can make it to a 'no-brainer', whilst still offering the quality and service you deserve.
What's The Investment?
How Much Time Does It Take?
Each live Masterclass lasts about an hour, plus you might spend a few hours on that month's online course and any worksheet materials we cover.
Your meditation will be about 10 minutes, and you'll want to do that as regularly as you can.
But the time commitment is entirely up to you. It's all designed to be easy to fit in around your schedule, but you will need to mark out time in your diary, to get the most from your membership. I can't do that for you!

“Working with Clare was the missing link.”
"Working with Clare was the missing link for me. She speaks powerful truth about what works in the world, sharing incredible wisdom and savvy smarts in the most heartfelt way. Clare’s energy and enthusiasm helped me rekindle old dreams – especially the one that says I can have a lot of fun earning a living helping others in unlimited ways!
"Her process illuminated what I wanted in business and why and then actually laid out how to get there! At a crucial point in my life, I got to see and feel how vitally important inner work really is as the basis for professional success. Thankful I had Clare is an understatement. The biggest change is in me – learning to trust what I know. Talk about results!"
Karen Campos
- Founder Of Kaleidoscope
“Clare is passionate about others' success.”
“Every now and then you get to spend time with someone whom you know will change the way you think about the world, from that point forward. Clare is one of those people.
"She's influentially powerful and calmly assured, passionate about others' success and inspires those she engages with.
"I first came across Clare when the rules on VAT in Europe changed, for the worse, for the small businesses she works with. Quietly and without fuss, she's created change, spoken at the highest levels and influenced policy throughout the 28 countries of the EU. She is an inspirational change agent, who is practical, pragmatic and effective.”

Imposter Syndrome: It’s Not All In Your Head
Despite melting in the UK’s heat wave (yes, it finally got too hot even for my Mediterranean blood) I’ve been talking about imposter syndrome – it has been everywhere. It has come up in groups I’m in on social media, it has come up with mentoring clients, and I even ran a deep-dive training session on it yesterday.
But here’s the thing: imposter syndrome isn’t all in your head.
It isn’t something you can ‘think’ your way out of.
And it breaks my heart to see people trying to ‘push on through’ with imposter syndrome, like it’s something we have to put up with, living life through gritted teeth and pretending we’re ok.
- If you’re about to go on stage and imposter syndrome strikes, it will affect your neurochemistry and make it harder for you to be in flow – to inspire.
- If you get an email from a journalist, asking for an interview, you’re more likely to ‘accidentally’ leave replying until it’s too late.
- If you’re offered an opportunity that could give you a chance to shine – and make the difference you’re really here to make – then imposter syndrome could cause you to convince yourself you’re too busy, or it’s not a good fit for you.
- If we secretly dream of publishing a book, it gets us distracted by ‘other priorities’, turning down PR or even not writing it at all.
- And it gets us discounting our prices, even before potential clients have asked about our fees. And not sending newsletters, because we’re telling ourselves that we ‘don’t want to bother people’.
Imposter syndrome happens when who we think we need to be, to fulfil our dreams, doesn’t match with how we see ourselves.
And when you make changes at that deepest level, the whole myriad of limiting beliefs, thought patterns, habits and stresses that go with imposter syndrome melt away.
I’m not sitting in an ivory tower on this. The night before Dare to Dream Bigger was due to go to the printer, I deleted the manuscript. Properly deleted. “Who am I to publish a book on the ‘inside work’ for changing the world?” Obviously, the fact that so many of you gorgeous Passionate World Changers have read it means I did my work on myself and then found a copy on my backup drive. But it doesn’t mean that imposter syndrome experience wasn’t life-flooringly real.
Imposter syndrome affects us all, if we’re stretching a comfort zone, if we haven’t done that identity-level inside work, first.
But most of us pretend it’s not there. In fact, it’s one of the very last blocks to go, when you’re working on your personal development.
I don’t want you to have to risk dreaming big, but playing small, just because of imposter syndrome.
So I’m running a masterclass for you, next Thursday (2nd August) at 3pm UK time, on the six steps to ditching imposter syndrome – once and for all. The beauty of these six steps is you can use them for the deep-dive self-work to clear out your hidden blocks, or you can run through them in sixty seconds, right before you go on stage.
If you’d like to bag your place and get the link to join us live (or to get the replay), let me know now:
Imposter Syndrome Masterclass
Learn the six steps to setting yourself free from dreaming big, but playing small - in this interactive live training with Clare Josa.
And I’ll send you a few useful imposter syndrome quick fix tips between now and the masterclass, plus a pre-session workbook, so you can get started already.
I’d love to get to share this with you.

P.S. The absolute best way to set yourself free from imposter syndrome is small-group or one-to-one work. If you’ve had your ‘basta-moment’ (see page 88 of Dare to Dream Bigger or search ‘favourite Italian word’ in the Kindle version) with imposter syndrome and want to find out how quickly we could shift this, together, book a chat with me here.

Got Questions First?
[Rant Alert] Why We’ve Got To Take Responsibility For The Inside Work Teachers We Choose
It’s time for each of us to take responsibility for the inside work teachers we choose… One of the biggest benefits of meditating regularly is that it’s easier to ride the waves of emotions that otherwise derail us for days. So ‘how dare I’ post a ‘rant’ post? Well, because I’m done with seeing people being lied to about their inner journey. Here’s what tipped me over the edge today.
Udemy is now offering a course, which has had nearly 30,000 students take it, to study to become a Mindfulness Practitioner and Master Teacher for just £9.99. An online course.
Yes, it’s usually £199, but as a Udemy instructor, I know all too well that their favourite habit is to discount life-changing and business-growing and career-transforming courses to less than the price of a pizza, making the whole online training industry a race to the bottom on pricing. This course will be £10 much more often than it’s £200.
What’s The Problem With An Online Meditation Teacher Training Course? Why Do We Need To Choose Our Inside Work Teachers More Carefully?
Here are three reasons why my soap box has been dragged out of its not-so-dusty corner:
1. Without feedback from an experienced teacher, learning is flawed.
“We don’t know what we don’t know.”
On page 273 of Dare to Dream Bigger, I talk about how the motto ‘if at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again’ is fundamentally flawed and it’s the slowest way to make progress. Why? Because – as Einstein allegedly said – doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is a sign of insanity.
There’s more to teaching meditation and mindfulness than reciting visualisations from a worksheet – so much more.
How can you give a student detailed feedback on their posture, if no one has ever done it for you? The computer running that online course can’t do it for you.
When teaching meditation and mindfulness, there’s so much more to it than techniques – or even mindset. You need to be able to hold the energetic space, so that students feel safe – the simple act of closing our eyes can make us feel vulnerable. Sitting in silence is something that terrifies many of us. You can’t test a teacher’s ability to do that for their students via an online course.
As an NLP Trainer since 2003, I have been trained in how to teach at both a conscious and subconscious level, helping students to create lasting change, as easily as possible. And the one thing I have seen to be true with every student I have ever taught, with every mentoring client and with myself, is:
Practice doesn't make perfect, unless you're getting quality feedback. Click To Tweet
And when leading meditations, the voice you use, the language you use and the pauses you leave are all an essential part of the process. We don’t realise when we’re making mistakes, when we’re learning – otherwise we wouldn’t make them. Without that feedback from a mentor, the quality of teaching risks being much lower than the students deserve. We will pass our ‘bad habits’ on to our students – no matter how well-intentioned we are.
I remember, back in 2008, when I was studying to become a meditation teacher, there was one piece of feedback that transformed the way I teach. It caused me to make a tiny tweak that took me to the next level of teaching. Had it been a computer assessing me, instead of an expert mentor, I would still be making that mistake, without realising.
You wouldn't want an amateur teaching your teen to drive, so why trust your inner happiness to someone who was taught by a computer? #meditationteacherClick To TweetIt is in the feedback that we grow. Practice, without feedback, risks making you better at doing it the wrong way.
2. There’s a world of difference between someone who’s good at something and someone who’s a great teacher.
Unconscious competence is the training world’s way of telling us that we usually don’t consciously know how we do something we’re great at. The so-called ‘learning ladder’ starts with:
- unconscious incompetence – where we don’t realise we don’t know how to do something
- Then we move to conscious incompetence – we are aware we can’t do something and choose whether or not to learn it.
- Then we move to conscious competence – where each step of the ‘doing’ takes effort to remember and apply.
- Finally, we shift into unconscious competence – where the new skill is second nature and we can do it without thinking.
Beyond that is mastery – where we have practised for the mythical 10,000 hours to become truly outstanding at whatever it is we are doing. And somewhere in the middle of that is the ability to teach.
Concert pianists don’t usually make the best teachers. Why? Because to be able to break a technique down into the building blocks that allow a beginner to learn it, you need to become consciously competent again – you need to take your skill out of ‘autopilot’ and be able to figure out both the physical and psychological (and sometimes even – engineer-approved woo woo – energetic) steps that make success inevitable.
During my NLP Trainers’ Training, deconstructing and modelling mastery, to be able to teach it, was one of the core topics we were taught.
I see this daily with high-ticket business programmes, where someone has made lots of money and sells their blueprint to hopeful entrepreneurs who fail to achieve the same level of success. It’s not because the blueprint doesn’t work. It’s because the master hadn’t understood the hidden steps, beliefs and inner shifts they subconsciously created, which led to their success, so they miss them out of the programme.
There's a world of difference between a Master and a great Teacher. #meditationteacher #mindfulnessClick To TweetAs a formally trained meditation, mindfulness and yoga teacher (and the author of two published books on the topic), I am very aware of the responsibility I have towards my students and how to spot and handle any ‘wobble’ someone might have, as a result of the techniques I teach. Meditation, mindfulness and yoga are all designed to bring body and mind (and energy) into harmony – in this moment. For those of us who have thought patterns that have been causing us pain or physical, mental and emotional blocks, those releases can be difficult.
You can’t teach someone how to spot those in an online course.
You certainly can’t test their ability to navigate those choppy waters and keep a student safe, via an online course.
3. A good teacher has done their ‘inside work’.
To be able to hold the space for your meditation and mindfulness students, you need to be a good few steps ahead of them on your own inside work. You need to have been clearing out destructive thought patterns, letting go of old blame and victim stories, grounding your energies daily. You need to be walking your talk. And meaning it.
They are looking to you to lead them.
15+ years of teaching in the personal and spiritual development world have taught me that a teacher cannot take their students past an inner block that they, themselves, have not yet cleared. And, yes, I’m looking in the mirror!
The most important steps on my journey to become a meditation and mindfulness teacher (and a yoga teacher) were those points where my mentor ‘held my head under water’ – where he didn’t let me run from my fears or out-of-date conditioning or negative self-talk. Going right through the centre of those blocks created breakthroughs that made me a happier person and a much better teacher.
No computer course could ever have done that for me.
If you want to learn to study meditation or mindfulness – big happy dance, it’s great! – then I strongly encourage you to find a face-to-face teacher and to ask them the ten questions I wish students would ask me, before they hire me! (Here are my answers).
There are some parts of our inner development that we should never delegate to a computer. #meditationteacher #mindfulness #insideworkClick To Tweet
If you choose an online course – here’s one I prepared earlier – make sure it’s one that includes feedback from a human being, not just a computer. Make it sure it includes some kind of live interaction with the teacher and an accountability peer group. And, even though it’s online, still ask the tutor these ten questions, before signing up.
And if you do want to study to become a meditation and mindfulness teacher, please, please, please do it with an accredited company – one that will give you the feedback you need to become the best teacher you can; one that will support you and encourage you; one that will help you to help your students to create a life-long habit they fall in love with. I recommend the team at Dru Worldwide, where I studied. You can find out more about their courses here.
When everyone else in the world is taking life online, I strongly believe there are some things we should still do face-to-face (even if via the internet) – where that human connection is what creates the magic. And studying mindfulness and meditation – especially to become a teacher – is something you should never have to do on your own.
And I’d love to hear from you:
- Do you agree / disagree with my rant?
- What could we do to make sure we raise the standards with the teachers we choose on our ‘inside work’ journey?
- And what do you look for in a great teacher?
And breathe…!
