#DramaFree Goes to Church
Published 11 November, 2018 by Marian Way
What happened when Caitlin went back to the church she attended with her grandmother as a child, to deliver a #DramaFree evening there.
Using Clean Space with organizational trauma
Published 7 November, 2018 by Marian Way
When Philippe Bailleur, author of Stuck? Dealing with Organizational Trauma, attended our Clean Space training earlier this year, he told me how helpful Clean Language and Clean Space can be in his work. We didn’t have time then for an in-depth conversation about this, so we agreed I would interview Philippe over Skype.
Navigating Space for Creativity
Published 25 October, 2018 by Jacqueline Ann Surin
Jacqueline Ann Surin reviews "Insights in Space" and the Clean Space workshop she attended this summer and discusses how coaches and facilitators can utilise space to help their coachees solve problems, generate ideas and spark creativity.
What our customers say
"If you’re new to Clean Language, this beautifully organised and thoroughly user-friendly guide will take you by the hand and lead you through the initial strangeness of asking - and answering - Clean questions, and then through each important stage of working more “cleanly” with clients, including a very reassuring section on what to do when none of it seems to work. More experienced practitioners will appreciate the way each aspect of Clean is discussed in the light of current research and the way the often fascinating case-study transcripts (don’t miss “I Fart in Your General Direction”) are presented in bite-sized colour coded chunks with zippy illustrations and very helpful question-by-question commentary. One reason why this book works so well is because Marian Way spent five years figuring out how to present both the fundamentals and the fiddly bits of Clean in a way that follows the inner dynamic of an actual Clean session. Her great ability to present the convolutions of each client’s inner landscape clearly and coherently will make this book an essential addition to your Clean library."

Clean Approaches for Coaches
"I trained to be a Certified Clean Facilitator over 2 or 3 years. This gave me time to practise and take in each module before moving to the next one. The training was clear, with plenty of examples and opportunities to practise. Each module had a clear structure, but with flexibility to meet all delegates’ needs. Feedback was given in a way that I could take it on board and retain my confidence; The trainers were 'human' (open about their own imperfections) and had a sense of fun. They not only listened but also remembered how I like to learn, even though there were considerable gaps between each module. I highly recommend Clean Learning's training."
Helen Harrison Coach
Clean Facilitator Programme
"The session was really enjoyable and insightful. It gets you to very quickly see things from a different perspective of ‘what do you want the outcome to be’. The benefits are that it's brilliantly simple to try and it works. On my first attempt at implementing the technique of ‘Clean Language’ on my return to the office, I successfully managed to reframe the conversation with a colleague and used their language in the exchange. The outcome was truly enlightening with positive results. Overall a more positive conversation was had today as a result of trying the technique. A big thank you!"
