I learned of Clayton admittedly through YouTube while trying to figure out how to get through a breakup. There are several "experts" who advise and recommend different techniques and methods - and some make sense and are probably worth doing. However, while most of these "experts" say to take time to work on yourself, they don't tell you how. They don't tell you why. Clayton's videos on YouTube go into detail and explain the "cause and effect" of our actions in relationship - how we hurt each other and why. We've all heard "hurt people hurt people," right? One session with Clayton brought so much understanding to my situation in my relationship and provided the clarity I sought. Clayton's insight is amazing. While I have been in therapy on and off for years, it's been several years since I've learned so much in a 75-minute session. I realized somewhat that my actions came from unhealed childhood wounds being projected onto the woman I love, but I knew nothing about attachment theory as it was explained to me. Attachment theory opened my eyes to the type of partner I am dating and how best to change in order to have the magical relationship I want and deserve. I'm very grateful to Clayton for his help and recommend him highly. read more

Clayton helped me through a challenging life phase helping me make difficult decisions. He listened and gave objective recommendations. Rather than a therapist who primarily listens, Clayton is a coach and actually gives advice. He is a good speaker and listener. I found him friendly and generous with his time and availability. read more

If I had to sum up my work with Clayton in one word it would be 'Responsibility'. When I started working with him, it was because I wanted help with my relationship. Or so I thought. What I have come to realize through the process was that what I really wanted help with was myself. He helped me to see how caught up I get in the stories I tell myself about the world -- not the facts about the world, but my stories about those facts. The realizations are only part of what I have gained from our work together. What I have come to rely on more than anything in our work together is the regular practice of holding up the vision of who I want to be -- not just who I have always said I want to be -- and using that vision as a guiding star to move toward. He is really good at holding that star up to me in a way that isn't preachy or militant, just straightforward. Real. I can't say enough thanks to Clayton for all his help. He is truly magical. I've been working with him for years now and I am still not even sure how he does it. I show up for our conversations, we talk and somehow magic happens in my life. It is a continually amazing process. He is incredibly present, very insightful and one of the few people in my life that I can truly count on to call me on my bullshit. I can't recommend working with him enough. read more

This past year has been a real time of personal exploration for me. As many have, I found Clayton after a breakup. I had come to a point in life where everything was seemingly coming apart and my direction forward was as unclear as could be. I am so glad that I reached out to Clayton for guidance through his program! Clayton helped me to see patterns in my life that I had been perpetually repeating. He helped me see that this stemmed from the way I communicated and viewed certain life events as well as how I truly viewed myself. The work we did over our 6 month engagement has helped me grow in ways I never could have expected. Understanding these unvisited parts of myself has helped me to better communicate and truly live into relationships all around me. It is opening up new doors and potential life paths as well as helping to move on from situations and relationships (both personal and professional) that have been an impedance. It's hard to put into words how Clayton has shown me different ways to care for myself. Everyone, in some way or another, harbors things that they then unwittingly project onto others in their lives; normally those that we hold closest to us. Learning that I was really just trying to provide someone something I felt I had missed in earlier points in life, has truly helped me communicate to those around me in a much healthier fashion. Clayton's personable approach not only made our sessions comfortable, but positively genuine! Where as other "professionals" seem to have a template they work from. We handled each topic as it came and even though I felt I had slipped a step or two from week to week, Clayton's methods helped me to see how this was all a part of the process. For those of you reading this looking for a path to "getting your Ex back"; this work certainly helped. I first realized that I was just as unhappy with the situation as she was and the breakup was meant to happen. As of the time of this post, my ex and I are not yet back together. The way I show up and engage with her now is far healthier and it shows! She looks at me again like she did when we first met and her body language is back to that of confidence and desire. Realizing that she is on her own path and looking for guidance herself has helped me to see where I was failing the both of us in my approach. More evident each time we speak is that because of this personal growth we have the chance to build something even greater than we had before. I am excited to continue my growth as it has been several months now since I last worked with Clayton and almost every day I see something that our work has brought into my life. No matter what your situation is I am confident that should you decide to work with Clayton you will be nothing less than thrilled with the experience! read more

As someone who has worked with other coaches in the past, I can genuinely say that Clayton is a master of his craft. As a woman, I was initially a bit nervous and worried I wouldn't be able to open up to a male coach as much as I would a female. The opposite was true with Clayton. The way that he held space made me feel so safe to say anything and everything I needed to without judgement. He had a gentle but honest way of illuminating the truths that I was not seeing so I could grow. My work with Clayton was transformative. In just 6 short months I evolved from a single woman who withheld my truth from men and was accommodating to the point it blocked intimacy to someone who is able to emote and share my heart with my man, to identify what's mine to work out rather than what's his or ours, and to hold my boundaries. read more

Clayton Olson is a NLP magician. Each meeting with him transformed me little by little, gently and deeply. Beyond temporary comfort, working with him provided lasting results from real change. Not only is he an experienced coach, he is endowed with an unusual maturity, sensitivity and intelligence. Each meeting was such a surprise to me. As a woman, I was wondering how a man would help me sort through my relationship and spiritual challenges. Always, I was delighted and profoundly touched by the depth and the clarity of Clayton's insights. I honestly felt thrilled, looking forward the journey, each time before - and after - we met. Each conversation with him felt like a wonderful gift I offered myself. I will not hesitate to turn to him again. Should you feel the need to invest in yourself, go for Clayton! Your heart and soul will thank you immensely. read more

The best way to describe my time working with Clayton would be, "Not what I expected." In truth, it has been so much more than I expected. I reached out to him as a broken, forlorn, anxious and depressed man who was desperately trying to hold onto a relationship that I felt defined me, that I couldn't live without, and that was "meant to be." I was grasping at any straw that gave me even an inkling of hope that things would work. I had a consultation with Clayton, and while I was incredibly surprised at his insightfulness into my situation, I also wasn't jazzed about the fact that, while he was definitely interested in helping me with the relationship, he was much more focused on coaching me to recognize my potential and teaching me how to work towards a "greater goal." If someone had told me at that time that future me would become more confident, more centered, more thoughtful, more loving to himself, and overall a more integral and complete person, all while having the courage to walk away from an unhealthy relationship, learn about my principle relationship "type" and why this is a strength (as well as looking out for its pitfalls), and knowing what I deserve and truly want in a future relationship... I wouldn't have believed you. But... that is exactly what has happened. And I couldn't be more grateful. I reached out to Clayton wanting to save a relationship. However, while working with him I have learned so much more about myself than I could have ever imagined. His coaching style is perfect for me. He met me exactly where I was and, without being preachy or judgmental, inspired me and then helped empower me to start on a true journey of discovery. I could write a book about all of the things we have worked on together, but some of the most helpful aspects of his coaching have been his use of neurolinguistic programming, the Enneagram, focus on self-love and centeredness, helping me to realize my thought processes and gently redirect them (or sometimes flat out showing me the distortions of my thoughts), helping me to find the confidence in myself to recognize and be the man that I am. I know what I'm saying most likely sounds trite, but I cannot emphasize enough how different I feel now compared to the day I first talked to Clayton on the phone. And while he has been an essential part in this growth, like a true coach he has taught me the tools necessary for growth and then has allowed me to put those tools into action while he has given guidance from the sidelines. And I know that I will be able to use these tools for the rest of my life to my benefit. I want to talk to the people who may question the cost of coaching. The old adage, "You get what you pay for," is very true. I have dedicated my adult life to the betterment of myself and have had the benefit of working with different therapists, counselors, and coaches. But I do not regret any dollar spent towards my personal improvement, and I can say with complete honesty that working with Clayton has been one of the most worthwhile investments I have had because the return on that investment has been personal growth beyond what I could have achieved on my own. Some of you might be able to do it alone, but when I first consulted Clayton, I needed guidance, and his guidance has been invaluable. So many times during out sessions, I would say to Clayton, "I understand the words you are saying, and I understand the meaning behind them, but... I just don't get it." As we continued to partner together on my journey, I would reach moments where I realized that those concepts I "didn't get" had become something I not only understood, but the concepts had also become an essential part of my way of being. I never imagined I would reach this level of peace and (I chuckle as I write these next words) personal enlightenment. I am so grateful to Clayton for his patience, guidance, and sincere interest in me an my personal journey. If you're considering working with a coach and you're willing to put in the work, then working with Clayton will be life changing. read more

Saved my relationship-- more than once. I worked with Clayton throughout the year in 2016, getting relationship coaching on my existing relationship. We had regular times scheduled, but if there were ever a situation were I felt urgency, he would make sure we could speak sooner. Whenever I was conflicted about something in the relationship, I would discuss it with Clayton. He was able to give me a lot of clarity and acceptance. He has a special gift for understanding situations with what little information you tell him. It's more than just his knowledge and training... there's definitely something special about him. If you need a relationship coach, he is exceptional. I've recommended him to friends and family members. If there's an internal or external conflict in your relationship, Clayton will be able to help you in ways you couldn't on your own. read more

There are plenty of people who walk through life "asleep." Or, maybe they know they need to "wake up," but it's often too easy to self-medicate with distractions, substances, relationships, being too busy, you name it. And then there are some who want to get to the next level in life - to find fulfillment, to walk toward and live in a greater purpose, to be the absolute best version of themselves and get as much out of this go-around on planet Earth as possible. If you're looking to be part of the latter group, to refuse to settle for mediocrity, then Clayton Olson is the person to call. Sometimes, we can easily become aware of the need for self improvement, whether it's in our relationships, our work life, our dreams and goals, or even our past. Talking to friends and family is like the blind leading the blind and reading self help books is only a piecemeal version of the value one can receive by working with a coach. Clayton is simply the best. He's real. He's focused. He's extremely insightful. And best of all, he's committed to helping his clients become more self-aware, understanding, and accepting of the challenges they're facing, and then he guides them with care to their own better version. For me, this has been one of the most valuable experiences I've ever been a part of and I am so grateful that I invested in myself and partnered with Clayton. read more

Clayton is an amazing person with incredible insight to offer. He helped me through a very difficult time in my life, a devastating breakup with a man whom I contemplated having a family with. Clayton made me realize so many things about myself, such as the need to set boundaries and to honor myself and trust my gut instinct in certain situations. The discussions we had together really helped to open my mind and see things from a different perspective which was very helpful. In the 3 months that we worked together, Clayton made a major impact in my life, and has helped to shape me into a stronger and more confident woman. I am very grateful that I found him and feel honored to have worked with him. He genuinely cares and has a gift for what he does. I highly recommend him and will certainly turn to him again for help during another major life event that I need guidance. read more

Clayton has been significant in my life. I owe my life to him. He has taught me so much in the past year. He helped me find me. He taught me its ok to be me, feel whatever comes up, process what I need to, it's ok to be wherever I am, to not be so hard on myself and judgmental, to look at things from a 360 perspective. Helped me to get out of my head and into my body and trust my inner guidance, helped to understand myself and notice when unhealthy behaviors or thoughts occur. Introduced me to the different parts of my ego and how they affect my thoughts, taught me to conscious. As a result, I'm more reflective and kind, starting with being that way towards myself, then naturally towards others, and my world. He encouraged me to give myself permission to be a witch at times in order to protect myself or my kids. I'm so much kinder to myself, when I look in the mirror, I love who I see, who's looking back at me. My form is even different than a year ago, I glow, I'm lean and eat healthy by choice, metabolize food well, my face is young looking for being 45, my eyes are bright and soft, my posture is straight and confident. I'm a better person, mother, friend to myself and others, boss, coworker, daughter, sister, colleague.... Investing in life coaching with Clayton is by far the best decision I've ever made. I will be eternally grateful and his biggest fan. read more

I feel truly fortunate to have become one of Clayton's clients in this self-exploration process. Talking with Clayton feels like a you are holding a comforting hand while revisiting the scary parts of life from which we hide. He has an innate ability to identify & tap into your deepest past experiences causing road blocks to your success in personal life and business relationships alike. Clayton gently coaxes you to open the proverbial 'Pandora's box' of issues that bother you, exploring them in truly ways impossible alone. He unmasks your own courage without judgement, challenges your psyche with the most difficult of questions, & patiently waits for you to find your own answer or enlighten you with relatable wisdom. It's a beautiful feeling when you confront a conflict later and see your own growth evidenced by your new thoughts & actions. By far the best feeling however, is when you stop yourself from a previously well worn negative thought process and you catch yourself after a few mere words. The benefits are truly palpable with an almost instant effect, providing clarity & resurgence of motivation. What a true gift be able to not only identify & understand ones's issues on such a deep level, but to evoke positive change that lasts. read more

Words cannot describe how thankful I am for having worked with Clayton. His knowledge and expertise on the subjects of relationships and personal-growth are second to none. I began working with Clayton after a breakup because I felt he had more knowledge and a better understanding of relationships than anyone else and he gave me the best chance of another chance at the relationship. His ability to process and understand relationship dynamics and behavior was what I anticipated, the best in the business. What I did not anticipate was his world-class ability as a personal-growth coach that inspired me to be honest with myself and congruently align my beliefs and actions. What began as a journey to fix a relationship turned out to be a life-changing experience in self-development and personal-growth that I would not trade for anything. What I enjoyed most during my time working with Clayton was his raw and genuine honesty. One of his best attributes is utilizing this honesty to open your mind to the reality of situations, allowing you to see and step into the best version of yourself. His honesty builds an instant personal connection, making it seem like you have known each other for years. What I believe separates Clayton from anyone else, is his innate ability to listen and fully understand your story, allowing him to illuminate the path to what it is you truly desire. He has a tremendous gift for listening and compassion. Clayton is extremely passionate about understanding your situation and pushing you to see and become the best version of yourself. Working with Clayton has been one of the best decisions of my life. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a relationship coach. This man has the experience and knowledge to understand relationship dynamics to the fullest and he knows how bring about real connection. I was also strongly recommend working with Clayton to anyone who is in question. Whether questioning your career, relationships, or you are on the fence about whether you need a life coach or not, I would suggest taking the leap and working with Clayton because he will help you find the answers you are looking for. read more

Clayton has been absolutely pivotal in helping me in areas of my life that I used to struggle with: career paths, relationships, and my own confidence. I went into the initial call hoping he would just hand me the secrets on how to acquire the perfect life with balance, but he quickly helped me see that no one could just "give" me the answers. I had to discover them for myself. Clayton opened my eyes to many of my blind spots that were blocking my own potential. And one huge thing he helped me discover is that I have been in control of them the whole time and didn't even realize it. He has helped me redefine my own reality and I now see that I can have anything I want in this life! read more

I can't say enough about the value that Clayton brought to my situation. His insights are incredibly helpful. He has a special talent for understanding the situation and gives a perspective to it that you may not be realizing at the time. He asks difficult questions in a way that allows you to open up and think for yourself. He will tell you what you need to hear, not always what you want to hear which allows to you grow and understand to a higher degree. I would highly recommend Clayton to anyone who is having a problem with their relationship or trying to get over a broken one. read more
