Carol L. Skolnick, Clear Life Solutions:
How I Work
I have worked with hundreds of people around the world—individuals, couples, business and community groups in the U.S. and Latin America—using the same transformative process of inquiry that has been radically effective in my own life and work, and in the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
However, my main interest as a facilitator is to make myself obsolete. That's because I know the freedom of not needing a teacher.
Once learned, The Work of Byron Katie is a tool you can use on your own, for life. Targeted self-inquiry on a regular basis can result in greater personal and professional effectiveness, better communication and an enhanced sense of well-being.
At first, some of us struggle with asking ourselves these questions, or we don’t know how. Even those of us who have been doing inquiry for awhile can feel stuck or confused at times…particularly when a belief seems very powerful and we “can’t see the forest for the trees." That's where I can be of help.
As your facilitator, I hold the space for you to examine your stressful thoughts, express yourself openly and honestly and find your own truth. I'll help you stay on track when the mind wanders or wants to justify or defend…point out underlying beliefs unearthed during your session…and suggest different angles to the four questions that may not have occurred to you. This is meant to assist you in making your way to your own answers and tap into the knowledge we all have equally.
I see my role as an educator. As such, I provide my clients with clear, practical, individually tailored assignments designed to encourage and support you to inquire more deeply. I do not offer spiritual teachings, advice, goal-oriented coaching or therapy; I simply ask questions; you teach yourself through your answers.
We can work in person, by telephone, and through introductory programs, weekend workshops and teleclasses. I am also available to visit your place of business, your school, your community group, or house of worship. This inquiry applies to a variety of personal situations and with different populations; no problem is too great or too small to be met with understanding.

"Carol was a guest on my radio show, AWAKEN Talk Radio where she brought me through the process of The Work live on the air. I gained clarity and valuable insights, and felt I broke through some deep resistance as a result. Carol is an excellent facilitator and an engaging guest!”
