Clarity Lesson — Beneath-the-Surface Goals Worksheet

What it does

• Surface-goal capture — opens by asking students to name the goal they've been telling everyone (and themselves)
• Five-whys ladder — guides students through five rounds of 'why does that matter' to surface the underlying motivation
• Subtract-the-obvious prompt — asks 'if money/status/approval weren't on the table, what would you still want?' to remove the noise
• Forbidden-want block — a gentle prompt that names the wants we usually censor (too big, too small, too selfish, too soft)
• Clarified-vision worksheet — a closing block where students write the want that's left in their own words
• One-true-thing close — a final card asking students to pick the one true sentence that captures what they actually want

Best use cases

• Career and professional coaching — clarifying the real career want beneath 'I want a new job'
• Business and entrepreneurship — clarifying what founders actually want beyond revenue
• Personal development and life coaching — values and purpose work for any major life decision
• Health, fitness, and wellness — clarifying the deeper goal under a body-change goal
• Relationship and family coaching — clarifying real wants in relationships, parenting, and life design

What you can change with your DNA

When you run this through the remix skill, your CCOS DNA — brand, voice, audience — drives these decisions automatically:

• Colors — slots for page background, ladder-section accents (five subtle layers), prompt-block tints, vision-worksheet surface, and the one-true-thing close
• Fonts — a quiet display font for the prompt headings and a comfortable body font for the ladder and worksheet text; choose a contemplative pairing
• Copy — surface-goal capture prompt, five-whys ladder text, subtract-the-obvious prompt, forbidden-want prompt, vision-worksheet guidance, and the one-true-thing close
• Images — quiet textured background or contemplative imagery in the hero, and any subtle illustrations between sections
• Behavior — toggle whether ladder and worksheet answers save between sessions, whether the page exports as a PDF clarity sheet, and whether students can share their one-true-thing privately with a coach
