What our customers say
"Thank you for the brilliant learning experience. I am in awe of how you weave structure (teaching all core skills in 6 days) and spontaneity (focusing on the topic as and when the question or relevant situation emerges) seamlessly throughout the course. I figured, for me, that’s how a clean facilitator works with a client, having the strategy and structure and holding them loosely, and spontaneously updating and adjusting to what emerges from the client in the moment."
Kyoko Kusama Executive Coach
"Marian, you have done it! Clean Approaches for Coaches is an essential handbook for coaches, counselors, managers, teachers, parents - for all who influence and lead others and choose to do so impeccably and with a clean approach. David Grove gave us access to the treasure of using metaphor to find meaning and to create lasting change. This book is the step by step, specifically HOW to make the best use of that rich treasure in a practical and productive way. The book is methodical, detailed, specific and inspiring - much like Marian's training programs. You are gently led deeper and deeper into the subject, acquiring knowledge and understanding in layers. David Grove said that metaphor mediates the interface between conscious and unconscious processes. Marian’s book is a valuable traveling companion into both realms for client and facilitator alike. Wherever you learn, coach, teach, grow and develop yourself and others, this book will guide you in your exploration of this deeply respectful approach to human change and development. "
