Is Your Team of Rivals Working in Harmony?
I’ve been reading “Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain” by David Eagleman, a book about the latest neuroscience relating to the nature of mind. In it he argues that most of our processing is done unconsciously (hence ‘incognito’) and that our conscious minds have only a limited role – that of setting direction, or a desired outcome.
The importance of having an outcome orientation when working with clients is something we emphasise a lot during our Clean Facilitator Programme.Posted on 12 Jan 2012 by Marian Way in Book Reviews, Coaching, Outcomes

Using Clean Language Principles in Coaching Sessions
Having had three clean coaching sessions with Marian working on my own challenges, I have now started to apply just two of the techniques she uses with my own coaching clients and I have been very impressed with the results: first the outcome question, "What would you like to have happen by the end of this session?" and second, repeating back exact words, regardless of grammatical sense.
Just to put this in context I should explain that I run Speed Coaching sessions with clients as a final step in a three day interpersonal skills programme. And so you know the setting I work in, my client is a large telecoms company.

Clean Language as a Coaching Tool
Speaking at the inaugural meeting of the Hampshire Coaching Group last night, I used the metaphor of Clean Language as a 'powerful tool' to illustrate the upsides and downsides of using metaphors to explain things. This metaphor is often used of Clean Language and since coaching draws from many different disciplines, it's an obvious one for coaches - who tend to collect new tools as they develop themselves, gathering different skills from different disciplines and being able to choose the right one for the situation.
