Practical guides for important conversations

Conversation Playbooks

A Conversation Playbook helps you get more value from every Clarion conversation. Each one gives you questions to ask, conversational signals to look for, and insights to focus on afterward—tailored to the way you work. Use it with Clarion to see what happened, understand why it happened, and identify what can make the next conversation better.

• CivilTalk Circles

  Brings together people with genuinely different views on an issue, periodically pausing to question an AI's response together—checking its assumptions, gaps, and neutrality—rather than accepting it as the final word. Clarion then shows the group how they actually talked to each other: where they agreed, where they didn't, and what they learned about both questioning AI and listening to one another.

• Relationship Counselor

  Clarion gives counselors a second, objective view of the conversation while you remain the professional responsible for the counseling process. Use this playbook to surface relationship patterns that may be difficult to see while you are actively facilitating the session—and compare those insights with your own framework, observations, and clinical judgment.

• Leadership Coach

  Leadership development becomes more powerful when you can examine what actually happened, not only what the leader remembers happening. This playbook helps you use Clarion as a second set of eyes to identify leadership behaviors, relationship patterns, and commitments that can become specific coaching opportunities. Open playbook →

• Startup Leadership Team

  Fast-growing companies cannot afford to confuse silence with alignment. This playbook helps founders and leadership teams use their real meetings to see whether people understand the mission, challenge assumptions, surface disagreement, make clear decisions, and leave knowing who is responsible for what happens next.

• Sales Manager

  Pipeline reports tell you what happened to the deal. Clarion can help you understand why. This playbook helps sales managers turn real prospect and customer conversations into actionable coaching insights that can strengthen individual performance and improve the effectiveness of the entire sales team.

• Salesperson

  A good sales conversation contains signals that are easy to miss while you are trying to manage the call. This playbook helps you use Clarion to look back at what the prospect said, how the conversation developed, where trust strengthened or weakened, what remains unresolved, and whether the next step is a real commitment.

• Nonprofit Board

  Good governance is about more than recording motions and votes. This playbook helps nonprofit boards use Clarion to make the discussion behind important decisions more visible—including the questions asked, alternatives considered, concerns raised, responsibilities assigned, and commitments made. Open playbook →

• Condo / HOA Board

  Board minutes tell owners what was decided. This playbook helps directors surface questions, disagreement, owner concerns, responsibilities, and commitments while creating a clearer record for follow-up and communication. Clarion can help owners better understand how the conversation led to that decision. Open playbook →

• Municipal Government

  Turn a divided public meeting into a conversation people trust, even when they disagree. Open playbook →

• Peer Support Group

  The value of a peer group grows when one meeting connects to the next. This playbook helps facilitators use Clarion to identify recurring patterns, commitments, communication strengths, and opportunities for growth—turning a series of conversations into an ongoing record of support and conversational intelligence skills development.

• Recruiter — Hiring for Success

  Skills and experience matter, but they do not tell you everything about how someone will work with customers, colleagues, or leaders; or contribute to your company culture. This playbook helps interviewers use structured questions and Clarion insights to add another behavioral perspective to the hiring process—alongside experience, qualifications, references, and professional judgment.

• K–12 Classroom & Counselor Sessions

  This playbook helps teachers, school counselors and parents turn everyday conversations into opportunities to strengthen self-awareness, emotional self-management, listening, empathy, accountability, conflict management, and relationships, and help students build the human skills they will use for life.

• Student Work Groups — Higher Education

  Catch a struggling team early with a five-minute check-in, not a grade dispute at the end. Open playbook →
