Clean Approaches for Wannabee Coaches
Not that I was planning to become a coach, but I was increasingly desperate to do something ‘non corporate’ with my life.
I was on Eventbrite, when a catchy event title caught my eye - ‘Clean Approaches for Coaches’ book launch. I googled, booked and turned up 2 days later.
I liked what I heard, the people I met and the slight quirkiness of it, so I bought the book, opened it the next day, and stopped at the end of prelude - it was so right for me! There was:

How to Stand Out in Your Business
By Karen Williams, author of How to Stand Out in Business
‘What do you know now?’ is a question my Clean Language coach, Sheryl Andrews, often asks me at the end of our sessions together. There is a lot of information inside of us already, and it often takes a good facilitator to draw out our knowledge and create those aha moments that change the course of our lives. For example, I developed a metaphor of being on a rollercoaster. I was at the top of a huge dip and I had a feeling in my stomach that I feel when I know something is about to happen

Clean Language: It Really Works!
A while ago I wrote about how I used Clean Language to help a client's daughter with maths, and now we have another maths story...
A participant on one of Sharon’s recent trainings, Yuji Yamagami, has been testing Clean Language in various ways at work and with his family.
His daughter Reina, 14, had been struggling with maths, so Yuji asked her some clean questions.

Clean Language Questions
I recently realised that we did not have the Clean Language questions themselves listed on the site, so here's a post about the qestions at the heart of all things clean...
Clean Language consists of about 20 questions, asked in a particular way. David Grove spent time watching therapists at work and analysing transcripts of their client sessions. He realized they were subtly changing their clients’ words and he felt that this was robbing them of their experience. So he experimented with…

#4 Using Meetup to Build Community
In this, our fourth Clean Learning podcast, I interview Katie Raver, a Community Consultant from Austin Texas. She uses a website called Meetup to help people to build different kinds of communities in Austin and other places in the USA. During the podcast, Katie talks about how she got started with Meetup and the thriving NLP community she has helped build. This has led to an interest in Clean Language and earlier this year she organised for Penny Tompkins and James Lawley to run a 'Symbolic Modelling Lite' training there.

Maths: Questions & Answers With a Difference
As a former maths teacher I was used to dealing with closed questions that have only one right answer, while as a Clean Language facilitator, the majority of questions I ask are open questions.
One of my clients knew I used to teach maths, and that I now do some dyslexia coaching in the workplace, and asked if I would work with her daughter who has been having trouble with maths at school. I said yes, as long as her daughter wanted to, and the following week, I met Alex, who is a delightful 11-year old with a double whammy of a desired outcome:

Where Do You Start?
Several years ago I was talking with Penny Tompkins and James Lawley about creating workshop activities, when one of them said that there are only four possible starting points for any ‘change’ activity: a resource; a problem; a remedy; and a desired outcome. For some reason, this conversation came to mind last week, along with an activity that Zannie Barrett told me about, also some time ago, and which also came from the Penny and James ‘stable’. This activity starts with a resource, but to make it a change activity, the client first thinks about a problem they have. They write that down on a piece of paper and then put it away…

Clean Supervision
Last week, along with three other Clean Language facilitators, I had a supervision session with Marian.
We have done group supervision before, bringing along extracts from some of our transcripts which we share and use as the basis for discussion and feedback on our sessions. One of the benefits...
