In a world crowded with advice for women, it’s time to decide what's right for you.
Are you trying to reconcile being successful with staying true to yourself?
Have you read the books and heard the advice, but don’t know where to start?
Hello, I’m Jacqui Alder. I’m here because I’m over women being told what and how they should be. You don’t need to be fixed because there’s nothing wrong with you.
I learned this the hard way and now I know better. I now know that the path to making it easier to stay true to yourself begins and ends with you. This is why I’ve created the beautiful books you’ll find here.
Each book is designed to help you hear yourself so you can put your energy into living a life guided by your values rather than worrying whether you’re doing the right thing by everyone else.
“This journal was the voice telling me it was okay to be myself.” Claire George said this about the luxury version of Clarity Simplicity Success for Women (pictured).
I've been you.
Feeling torn between my responsibilities and my own needs. Trying to work out why everyone else’s version of success felt like I was being untrue to myself. Knowing I’ve got to do ‘something’ to get myself back on track.
I discovered my answer and it’s unique to me. Likewise, your answer is unique to you.
Discovering your answer involves asking yourself the right questions.
But what are the questions? Now those I have. I’ve put them into the resources at the heart of this site – for women. For you.
I’m excited to announce that my new book, Being You, is now available. It represents an evolution of my work here and what I’ve learned from you.
I began with the Clarity Simplicity Success for Women self-coaching journal which now comes in two versions; the standard version, and the luxury version which includes the option to access e-mail support from me.
Equivalent to a 12-month coaching program, this coach in a book is a tool for deep reflection that helps you define what success means to you and guides you to attain that success. It warms my heart that it has now helped women from around the globe who tell me using it has been an empowering and transformational experience.
The journal isn’t alone. It’s joined by a series of shorter self-coaching guides covering a range of topics, including self-confidence.
On this site you’ll also find articles, a free values exercise from the journal, other free resources for you to download and videos.
I have many other things on the drawing board. My team of me, myself, and I are working as quickly as possible and will add these as soon as I create them.
Giving you a unique experience
You have a busy life. Fitting more into your energy budget, your schedule or your head space is difficult – if not impossible. Which usually means you end up on the bottom of your own priority list. You know better, you know you need to take care of yourself – but …
I want to help you break this cycle. I want to help you replace ‘but’ with ‘and’.
And I can make myself equal in priority. And I am worthy. And I give myself permission to make it happen.
I realise you need something different. Which is why my books are experiences with images and words that speak to your subconscious.
It takes time to peel back the layers and listen to yourself.
There’s also a very personal reason – I share it on the ‘How It Started’ page.
Clarity Simplicity Success is a great tool to synthesize what your ‘more’ is specific to your life and circumstances.
I bought the book because I am at a place in my life where I know I want more, there is something more for me to do and I was unsure what the ‘more’ will look like. This book is a helpful ‘how to tool’ to discover what energises you and brings you the most joy. Life is too short not to feel joy in what you do everyday.
This book can teach you how to craft a solution to fill the void of ‘more’ specific to your own life and or career. I recommend it to all women who want to know what their ‘more’ is and go forth on that conviction.
This journal was the voice telling me it was okay to be myself.
It’s been wonderful to reflect on where I was and where I am now. It also gives me the opportunity to update and change my thoughts as a grow. This is a great tool for woman at all stages of life.
I work for a fortune 100 company in Human Resources. I spend a good amount of my day coaching and developing talent, but I can’t do that well, if I am not clear on my own personal goals and how I intend on navigating my career choices in pursuit of my goals. Recently, I had a “put your oxygen on first” realization when in a span of a year I became a first time Mom, then took on an amazing work assignment, and moved my family around the world.
Naturally, I had a lot of competing interests. To stay balanced and whole, I needed Clarity on what I wanted to achieve on every front. I needed Simplicity in thought to wade through the noise, so I could focus on what was most important to me and build my own version of Success.
I used Clarity Simplicity Success to guide me through uncharted waters so that I could create the best version of myself for the team that I was serving in my new assignment, my family and me. Clarity Simplicity Success is an easy to follow, non-demanding, non-judgmental approach to finding focus. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to “put their oxygen on first” before tackling life’s adventures.
The Clarity Simplicity Success self-coaching journal came to me at the right time when I was going through a lot of personal and professional challenges. Each of the questions helped me tune back in to what was important in that moment, what I really needed. The way it was laid out, with the drawings and visuals took me on a journey as though I had Jacqui near by for a quick coaching chat. It felt accessible and what I needed in those moments. It helped me delve even deeper in a very gentle yet encouraging way into some soul truths that I was avoiding. I still revisit it often, thank you Jacqui for a beautiful and transformative experience.
I love my “Clarity Simplicity Success” self coaching journal for women! This is exactly what women need. Highly recommended to every entrepreneur, business owner, professional, mother, daughter, life student. Yes, it is a journal to capture your own thoughts and dreams, beyond this, it is a self-paced workshop to unpack what is truly important and meaningful in your own life. I have had my work book over a year now. I continue to refer to the lessons, I update and expand on my responses. This beautiful hard copy workbook, does more than gracefully adorn my book shelf, it is always ready to add inspiration and motivation whenever I need it. Through this continuing journey I have found my Clarity, Simplicity of identifying what is important to me, and am achieving Success in a way that I could not have imagined without this support and the beautiful connection with Jacqui. Thank you.
‘Clarity, Simplicity, Success’ is a terrific self coaching journal for
business women. This journal steps you through a series questions and exercises
that you can complete at your own pace to gain a successful future for yourself
in both your personal and professional lives. Running your own business can be
overwhelming in many ways and having Jacqui’s support and guidance in this
ournal is a great way to gain clarity. I would highly recommend it!
Jacqui’s self-coaching journal for women is one of the best purchases I have made. I really like the sequence of the activities in the journal to help me understand what success looks like for me. I find the questions insightful and provide me with a brilliant opportunity to really ponder what is important to me.
A beautifully presented and well thought out guide that gently probes and asks all the right questions of the reader, in turn bringing clarity and awareness. I have loved using this journal!
I feel very privileged to own my own copy of The Journal. It is beautiful inside and outside. The incredible journey starts from the very first page of The Journal and continues throughout to the last page. Also plenty of space to make notes and drawings if needed. I keep going back to it and every time I find something new…
As a big fan of the power of coaching to bring about change and personal growth, my self-coaching journal for Women ‘Clarity Simplicity Success’ developed by Jacqui Alder has been invaluable as I navigate a new phase in my professional career and life journey.
A fantastic resource – amazing quotes, examples, and ideas along with space to reflect, plan and set some personal goals. This is so much more than a journal!
The process has been amazing. I can relate to the contents of the book and hence it takes you on a journey. The experience that Jacqui has is reflected in the book. I would recommend it to someone any day.
A wonderful piece of work!
‘I hope Jacqui’s book helps you as much as it has helped my friend.‘
My friends and I bought Jacqui Alder's self-coaching journal for a friend going through a significant career transition. I wanted something that could be there for her at the moments we couldn't be, like the middle of the night when you can't get to sleep because of work worries. It has really helped her steer her path along her own definition of success and has helped her change systems and structures, assisting others. I hope Jacqui’s book helps you as much as it has helped my friend
‘This journal is more than a tool – it really enables an evolution of the soul. ‘
I became aware of the journal when Jacqui engaged my business to help her establish business processes for her Clarity Simplicity Success brand. At first, I read it to help me understand her work and decide how to best support her...
I bought the journal to help me focus on what I wanted out of life. It’s helped me become very clear on what is important to me and what isn’t. It’s also made me to realise that whatever I decide is or isn’t important is okay because it’s my life. The fact that I can go back to it over and over whenever I am stuck or something in my life changes has been helpful. It’s like having a guide for my life. I’m a founder of two businesses and would recommend the journal to other women in business who are wanting to grow and scale.
I bought the journal because I’m interested in self coaching for myself and for others. It’s great to see a professionally put together book that takes you through a self-coaching process. It’s helpful to get your thoughts out onto paper and to have a structure which helps organise them. I particularly like that it’s of high quality throughout; in the content, the binding, and the original illustrations. I’d recommend it to others as a self-improvement / self-coaching tool. We all need to learn how to self coach better.
I felt I needed some guidance on how to work towards success in my life. At different times in my life, I’ve not always had a clear sense of direction of what to do next. I purchased the journal because I can work through each section at my own pace, in my own time.
The journal came just at the right time for me. I was looking for ‘something else’ in my life, but I wasn’t sure what to do, where to start, or whether I should look at all. Perhaps I should just keep doing what I was doing...
This journal is a great tool that has helped me with a roadmap for more than one life challenge I’m currently overcoming.
Finding the journal was timely for me. I was stuck and didn’t know how to proceed, I found this journal to be an excellent place to start. It helped me break the essence of the problem down and allowed me to develop my road map out of confusion and into action.
The self-coaching process has also helped me identify my own internal resources and talents in tackling a challenging life issue.
What do I like the most? There are so many things. A part that stands out is ‘tracking my progress’, which helps you to stay accountable. I wish I had several copies and may just end up purchasing them to pass along to friends. It’s great for anyone who may be feeling stuck in life.
The book is stunning! Honestly, I feel that Jacqui has been so generous of spirit to share, what feels like, a piece of herself, her wisdom, intelligence, experience, and a roadmap people can use for many and varied situations.
I bought the journal to assist with sorting my thoughts about what is working well, what is not, and what could I do differently. It’s been helpful to have a space to think and plan which keeps it all together in one place.
I was attracted to the beauty and quality of Jacqui’s self-coaching journal. It’s high quality from cover to cover, in how it’s made, and what it contains. I bought it to help me clarify for myself what want.
I bought this self-coaching journal to help me reflect during a time of change, and this has helped me to make a life changing decision. I’d worked with Jacqui before, and knowing that it came with her support was reassuring, if I got stuck she was just an e-mail away.
