from confusion & overwhelm to Clarity & Confidence
4 November - 26 November 2024
4 November - 26 November 2024
In 4 weeks, you will gain Clarity on who you are and the Confidence to make intentional choices
What is the Clarity & Confidence program?
It’s a 4 week online coaching course that helps you gain:
CLARITY on WHO you are and what you want to create.
CONFIDENCE to create what you want by basking in the knowledge of your authentic self and developing boundaries and habits that serve you.
We start with the big picture at the macro level and ask deep questions to arrive at what has meaning and value to you. You receive a detailed personality report that includes your temperament strengths, talents and capacities. This helps you stop making yourself wrong for not fitting the mould and focus on what makes you thrive.
Then we look at the micro and how the big picture translates into everyday life. How can you find joy and meaning in your life now instead of waiting for some big achievement to happen. What do you need to say yes and no to, what’s worth your energy, where do you need to release destructions or guilt so you can feel and live who you really are?
What You’ll Gain:
Deep Self-Understanding: Week 1 focuses on understanding your personality, values, and strengths through a detailed report.
Clear Vision: Week 2 helps you define what you want to achieve, setting the stage for intentional actions.
Confident Boundaries: Week 3 will guide you in setting boundaries and developing habits that suit your personal strengths.
Focused Action: Week 4 equips you with strategies to maintain your focus and confidence throughout the year.
This course is unique because it starts with understanding your true self before setting goals, ensuring that your actions are aligned with what genuinely matters to you.
What You’ll Experience:
Week 1: Who are you?
Start by gaining a deeper understanding of your true self. You'll explore your values, strengths, and personality through a detailed temperament questionnaire and personalised report.
Week 2: What do you want to create?
Define what you genuinely want to create in your life, using the clarity gained in the previous week.
Week 3: Define your boundaries & habits with confidence & conviction
Establish and reinforce boundaries and habits that support your goals and align with your authentic self.
Week 4: Strengthen your focus for the rest of the year
Develop a focused plan to maintain and enhance your clarity and confidence throughout the remainder of the year.
This course is for you if:
You want something more than the stereotypical “success” and “achievements” that only focus on the material aspects of life.
You’re interested in getting in touch with the person you’re meant to be, have an identity that it is truly yours and live an authentic & meaningful life.
You’re someone that likes to self-reflect and analyse your experiences and behaviours and those of others.
You’re sensitive, empathetic and often feel misunderstood and mistaken for the roles you you’re forced to play by social reality.

how is Clarity & Confidence different from other programs?
Connecting with your true Self before taking action
Most coaching programs usually start with asking “what do you want to achieve?” But jumping right into achieving skips a vital step the vital first step of exploring who you are and what a meaningful life means to you. It’s out of sequence because even if you achieve many things, if it doesn’t come from looking inwards the only thing you will achieve is to disconnect you from your true Self. So yes, you might achieve goals, but you’ll probably end up feeing restless and wondering what is missing in your life.
That’s why the first step in this program is to get crystal clear of who you are and what has meaning and value to you.
No prescriptive one-size fits all models
Most programs give you a linear pre-scripted model of one-size fits all: “5 steps to realising your goals,” “12 months to a new you.” But cookie cut approaches don’t work. Especially if you’re not the “just do it” type that jumps before looking, but someone that actually takes time to ponder and analyse things before taking action.
Doing Less & Being More
Many programs focus on doing more: more efficiency, more achievement, more money, more discipline, more routines, more habits, less procrastination, smashing every goal, realising your every dream! But this misses the mark, because it doesn’t matter how much you do if it doesn’t come from the right place. That’s why in my programs I advocate doing less and being more.
Focusing on your strengths instead of your self-limiting beliefs
Coaches love to talk about self-limiting beliefs - the perceptions or thoughts that keep you back from achieving something - and how to get over them. Unlike other coaches, I don’t find it useful to dwell on that because from my experience if you really understand yourself and your strengths then confidence and overcoming limiting beliefs follows naturally. My philosophy is forget your weaknesses, focus on your strengths.
Those limiting beliefs exist because at one point you tried to follow advice that didn’t suit you temperament, you tried to mould yourself into something you are not, you followed a cookie-cut approach that killed your confidence because it just didn’t suit you! I also know that if you’re dealing with a serious issue, for example depression, that needs to be dealt in therapy and not in coaching.
Not chasing that big goal sometime in the future
In this program we don’t focus on achieving that big goal in the future because the idea that joy and happiness is in the next place, the next job or whatever the next achievement is destination addiction that creates unhappiness in the present. We focus on what helps you thrive now and how to cultivate a joyful and meaningful life now.
As long as you believe joy is somewhere else, it will never be where you are.
The most confident people are those who bask in the knowledge of their authentic self.
Who is teaching this course?
Hi, I am Maria Mouskou - a qualified coach & your partner in this journey of Clarity & Confidence, should you choose to join me!
I am a personologist, certified personal and corporate coach, Keirsey temperament assessor and member of the Coaching Association. My studies include Biographical Counselling (based on Rudolf Steiner’s work) and a Foundation Certificate in Couple and Individual Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I also have a BA in Management, an MBA in Marketing & Entrepreneurship and an MScEcon in International Politics. Before coaching I worked in advertising, marketing and fundraising in the US, UK and Cyprus. I recently moved back home to Cyprus after 23 years of studying, working and living in the US & UK.
A former striver and high achiever - high grades, scholarships, degrees, good jobs - I used to unknowingly judged my self-worth by all these accolades. Then at in my late twenties I looked at my boss at the prestigious advertising company I was working at and realised that I didn’t want what she had, which is were I was headed if I stayed on that path.
So I decided to change paths. But no matter where I went, I fell into the same trap: focusing on achievement instead of fulfilment. There was no joy in the striving and achieving anymore, but I didn’t know another way so I kept going at it…
I wish I could tell you that becoming a coach changed that. Unfortunately it made it worse. You see, coaching is (and was even more so fifteen years ago when I first got into it) obsessed with success, ambition and measurable achievements. But I yearned for something more than that. At some point, I became so disillusioned with coaching that I had to step away and re-assess things. I studied and took courses in other disciplines to broaden my horizons and solidify my practise.
There was a point I considered stepping away from the world of coaching. But I didn’t. Because I believe coaching needs more voices like mine. Coaches that believe a more grounded quality of life is also a worthy goal for coaching.
Coaches that help you become more of who you are instead of who society tells you that you should be. Coaches that help you focus not only on the measurable, but also the immeasurable goals in life - the things that contribute deeply to living a content life.
Coaches that ask: what matters to you? what makes life meaningful? what brings you joy and feeds your soul?
So if you’re ready to start your journey of self-exploration, then join me in this journey to clarity and confidence!

Trends in self-development come and go. What doesn’t change is WHO you are at your core. There’s a unique way you’re wired. So instead of trying to mould yourself into the trends, focus on understanding yourself and mould the trends to you - or even better, ignore them all together.
