Testimonials
Having recently undertaken a coaching course and learning the importance of asking 'open questions' and drilling down to identify the underlying issues, I quickly saw the positive impact that Clean Language has. It is as beneficial in team groups to ensure their engagement and ownership of projects/actions. I would highly recommend Caitlin and Marian for their skills, knowledge and expertise in facilitating Clean Language workshops for your business.
Angela Mays , HR Manager, Fasset Limited.
Marian has an easy and relaxed teaching style, utilising a variety of fun processes that assist in getting the material anchored in your system. Even in the relaxed atmosphere there was continued attention to detail, so that we all got what we came for.
Amy Trezona
Marian was an incredibly competent, safe, clear, sharp and humble leader.
