Description

All of us want to feel safe. No matter where we’re from or what work we do or the communities we belong to, we deserve to feel safe. And most of us want the same for others, too, whether family, friends, acquaintances or strangers.

Unfortunately, sexual harassment threatens our safety and it can happen in the most familiar of relationships and places. When someone experiences sexual harassment, they are very likely in a position of unequal power with their harasser. This makes it even harder for them to stop any unwanted sexual advances so they can feel safe. And when sexual harassers aren’t stopped, all too often their harassment escalates, and worse into assault.

As women, we can come together to inspire and develop personal strategies against sexual harassment. By sharing our lived experiences, we can discover and adopt more strategies for making places and relationships safe for ourselves and others. 

If you’d like to join others in making it safe, the Making It Safe: Inspiring strategies against sexual harassment programme is for you. During the programme, you will explore what has worked for you in the past, and you will learn other women’s strategies that have made them and others safe, so you can adjust and apply these immediately.

This customisable programme can be conducted over several sessions or over a day. It consists of six themes:

Theme 1: Knowing when you’re not safe
What signals let you know when you’re not safe? What helps you pay attention to these signals? What stops you paying attention to them?

Theme 2: Behaviours and actions
When you’re not feeling safe, what behaviours or actions, whether yours or others’, make it safe for you?

Theme 3: Beliefs, attitudes and state
What kind of beliefs, attitudes or state support you in making it safe for yourself and for others?

Theme 4: Stories
What kind of stories, including from others, inspire you to make it safe for yourself and for others?

Theme 5: Allies
What kind of ally would make it safe for you and others? What examples of allyship do you already have? When have you been an ally to others?

Theme 6: What would you like to have happen next?
What will you be doing next to make it safe for yourself and others? 

As well as these six themes, which have emerged through interviews and focus groups, there will be space to develop themes of significance for programme participants. The aim is for every participant to leave with insights, understanding and inspiration.

This programme will be facilitated by Jacqueline Ann Surin, an expert facilitator who has worked with and trained several women’s groups in Malaysia and the region. She will facilitate the group cleanly, with curiosity, respect and gentle humour.

Note: We will not be able to provide therapy for any experience you may have had with unwanted sexual advances. We can however help you find resources and support if that is what you need.

Testimonials

The world isn't always a safe place for women, but Jacq created a safe place for us within this course, a place where we could share and learn and grow--it felt subversive and like being part of a club of women who are taking a stand. I loved how empowered I felt by the other women's stories--this was the education I never got about how to move through the world, something I desperately needed and didn't know I was missing. It was a powerful way to grow in my intuition and learn about myself as well as others.

Jamie Burgess, Boston, USA

When I attended a "Keeping Safe From Unwanted Sexual Advances" workshop, I listened to various stories and realised there was a lot of pragmatism and that every situation was different. Every woman made a quick assessment of many factors. They didn’t seem to panic and didn’t seem to challenge overtly. There was an inner assertion and a steady response. About a month after, I had a new male client. During the consultation, he was friendly but weird. I noticed my heart beat go up and I felt breathless. I still doubted myself but I could feel myself making assessments like the women in the workshop had described i.e. was there a clear line of exit, how strong did he look, did I need to text my friends? When I started the massage, he moved one arm under himself. I was still questioning what was actually happening. I noticed my heartbeat was much faster and I was more breathless. And I thought, "I have to trust this reaction" as it became clear he was acting inappropriately. I did not want to challenge him. I was frightened. I declared I was stopping the massage, and said I didn’t feel very well. I asked him to leave. He seemed reluctant but I repeated myself strongly. I watched him get dressed rather than turn my back on him even for a moment. He left. What I gained from the workshop was a process of relatively clear thinking despite the physical reaction in me that could have been quite disabling. I used my voice to be very assertive without accusing him of anything. Throughout the incident, I was replaying the workshop in my mind as I worked out what I was going to do.

Jennifer Naylor, Massage Therapist, UK

This programme helped me learn and understand new stories, experiences and views from different women from different settings, contexts and background. I totally recommend it to other women.

ICP-SYS: Clean Agile Systems Coaching is an entry-level course for those wishing to experience Systemic Modelling - a new way for people to learn about one another in groups, enabling them to move away from contempt and competition and towards curiosity and collaboration. 

Systemic Modelling is the brainchild of Caitlin Walker, author of From Contempt to Curiosity. When a few clean questions led her to a greater understanding of herself and a dramatic shift in her life, she decided to adapt the one-to-one therapeutic method developed by David Grove to create a robust methodology that would work for groups and organisations.

Clean Learning fully endorses this course offered by Agile Affinity. Moreover, Caitlin runs the ICP-SYS herself on specific dates. It is also the only ICP-SYS course to cover the prerequisites to continue onto the Systemic Modelling Rolling Programme.

1-Hour Clean Language Taster

Thursday 12 September 2024, 6.30pm to 7.30pm BST

Price: £15.00 (£18 inc VAT)

Book your place

All event bookings are subject to our terms of sale.

Venue details


Description

Our 1-Hour Clean Language Tasters are designed to give you an experience of Clean Language during a friendly online session. We start by asking everyone present what they want to get out of the session and then we do our best to make sure that you get what you want - whether that’s learning about Clean Language, witnessing a demonstration or finding out more about us or our products and services.

In this way, we demonstrate our clean approach at work: the session is about you and what you want, rather than about us and what we imagine you want to know. It also means each session is different and so you can join us two or three times, learning something different each time. We want to answer your questions and give you an opportunity to get to know us.


Who is it for?

This webinar is for you if you:

  • Are new to Clean Language and would like to know more
  • Have questions about Clean Language or related topics
  • Like to know about new cutting-edge coaching tools
  • Want to witness - or take part in - a Clean Language session

What will I gain?

Each webinar is different, and the content will be dependent on who takes part. Typically we cover:

  • What Clean Language is and how it originated
  • The most useful Clean Language questions
  • How to use Clean Language to develop metaphors, and so unlock the power of the unconscious mind
  • A demonstration of Clean Language in a coaching or interviewing context
  • An opportunity to get all your questions answered

Testimonials

Thank you for this deep-going webinar. I benefitted in two ways: Professionally, I got a very good impression of Clean Language and how to determine when this method will be the right one for my clients. And I very much like the philosophy of David Grove. Personally, I had a deep insight what it needs to feel comfortable and have fun speaking English. And even while talking with you I felt an inner and symptomatic change. Wow. I was also very impressed by your attitude and clarity. Thank you. I'm now into Clean Language and I want to learn and experience more.

Description

Are you a coach, aspiring coach or Clean Language facilitator? Or a manager, consultant, HR specialist, health worker or leader who would like to gain skills in coaching with Clean Language? Would you like to gain formal accreditation as a coach with the International Coaching Federation (ICF)?

Join our Clean Coach Certification Programme to gain training in clean coaching which also forms the basis of your application to become an Associate Accredited Coach (ACC).

The ICF is the leading global organisation for coaches and coaching, dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high standards, providing independent certification and building a worldwide network of trained coaching professionals. ICF accreditation is often required by those procuring coaching services - as a guarantee of quality.

The ICF defines coaching as: Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential.

We recognised this definition as being a good fit with what happens during Clean Language sessions, and together with our colleagues in Sweden - Lena Sobel and Søren Holm, both experienced ICF coaches - we set out to create an accredited course that would allow coaches to make full use of Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling within their coaching practice.

During the course you will:

  • Establish definitions for coaching, Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling and learn how they can combine to produce powerful and often life-changing experiences for your clients.
  • Learn the basic clean questions of David Grove and how they can be used for maximum effect.
  • Practice Caitlin Walker's Clean Set Up model and ascertain different ways this can be used in a coaching context.
  • Find out how to use clean and clean-ish questions to reach and maintain agreements with clients, both at the start of a series of sessions and at the start of each individual session.
  • Discover how to identify problem statements, remedy statements, desired outcomes and resources and how to use clean questions to direct clients' attention more to desired outcomes and resources.
  • Determine which are the best clean questions for moving a client's attention from their conceptual, everyday world, towards a more metaphorical or symbolic expression of that world.
  • Learn how you can help your client to clarify the structure of their thinking by developing the unconscious metaphors they use.
  • Gain a deep understanding of the importance of metaphors in everyday communication and in coaching.
  • Find out how using Clean Language is a natural way to cultivate trust and safety with your client.
  • Participate in coaching practice sessions that will bring you rich personal development - as essential ingredient in becoming a coach.
  • Practice the Clean Feedback model during these sessions and integrate this into your coaching practice too.
  • Improve your listening skills and develop your coaching presence.
  • Discover how to partner with your client to design goals, actions and accountability measures that integrate and expand new learning.
  • Learn how the skills of Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling relate to the ICF Core Competencies.
  • Understand the ICF Code of Ethics and what needs to happen for you to apply it in your own coaching practice.
  • Have access to an online manual and to the Clean Campus - our online community of practice, where you can meet and practise with others on the course and with participants from other clean courses.

The training is either delivered in-person or over Zoom.

The in-person training will take place over two 4-day modules. Some sessions will be devoted to practice where you will receive feedback from experienced clean coaches who have already gained their accreditation with the ICF. During other sessions there'll be teaching, discussion, shorter practice activities, demonstrations and time for reflection. There will also be two sessions of group mentoring which will be delivered over Zoom on Saturday mornings. You will also receive 3 hours of 1-2-1 mentoring, also over Zoom.

The Zoom based training will take place over 17 x 4-hour sessions via Zoom. Some sessions will be devoted to practice where you will receive feedback from experienced clean coaches who have already gained their accreditation with the ICF. During other sessions there'll be teaching, discussion, shorter practice activities, demonstrations and time for reflection. The final two sessions will be group mentoring and you will also receive 3 hours of 1-2-1 mentoring. 

The Clean Coach Certification Programme is run according to clean principles, which means that although we’ll be going in a definite direction, the way we get there will be partly down to you and your needs, your questions and your interests. From the outset we’ll be discovering what kind of training you would like to have and we’ll be tailoring what we do to meet your needs. We’ll be checking in with you regularly, because we know that your ideas about what you’d like to have happen are likely to change as new information - about yourself, the process and the course itself - becomes available. 

We’ll be respecting and encouraging diverse thinking. We’ll be welcoming your contributions and your questions and we’ll be suggesting you ask them as they occur to you, so that your learning can happen in the moment. We love helping people to learn the skills of Clean Coaching - and to witness the personal development that occurs when these skills are put into practice. We hope you’ll find this programme fun, interesting and challenging, that you’ll enjoy the whole experience and that you’ll learn a lot.

This Clean Coach Certification Programme is accredited as an ICF Level 1 programme. It includes 52 hours training, 10 hours mentoring and your performance evaluation (where you record and transcribe a coaching session and submit this for evaluation). To gain the ACC accredition you will also need to do 100 hours of client coaching and pass the ICF's Credentialling Exam. Please note that there is an additional fee, payable to the ICF, for the credentialling process.

Testimonials

I am delighted to say that I have been awarded the PCC credential! I am ‘over the moon’ and can’t thank you enough for the role you have played in supporting my learning and development as a coach. One of the recordings I submitted for my application demonstrated how impactful Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling can be as a means of evoking awareness. It’s worth highlighting that the assessor feedback indicated that all but one PCC marker was observed for this session. I think that is a real credit to you and the wonderful course! Thank you.

Alastair Callaghan, Coach, Facilitator & Trainer

The Clean Coach Certification Program is one of the best, if not the very best, training programs in which I have participated in any topic. I started the program with an ICF Professional Coach Certification credential and many years of coaching experience. The program has made me a much more confident, relaxed and effective coach. Through highly interactive training sessions with two of the leaders in the field of Clean, Marian Way and Caitlin Walker, the other participants and I practiced progressively more specific and nuanced coaching skills that culminated in our ability to ‘know what we were up to’ to benefit our clients. One thing that made this training so effective and unique was how it was organically designed to meet the specific needs of our group of students. By observing our practice sessions and reviewing the resulting transcripts, Marian not only gave us valuable feedback, but she determined what we needed and then designed our next class around that. I have participated in very good trainings before, but they have all been scripted in advance, so did not feel as personally valuable or impactful to me. Marian and Caitlin really walked their talk and were constantly willing to explore what came up in our group. I continue to be amazed by the profound effect on my clients from providing them the space, curiosity and attention to get in touch with their subconscious metaphorical landscapes. The Clean approach to coaching quite simply changed my life for the better. How’s that for value! I highly recommend jumping at the chance to take this course and any other programs that Marian and Caitlin come up with.

Lisa Taylor

I started the Clean Coach Certification programme after a few years of deciding what would be the best next step for me to combine Clean Language skills with a planned programme of study to help me develop the next stage of my career. I am a nurse, working in healthcare and knew that I wanted a more focused approach to support the change that I wanted in my career. I joined the Clean Coach Certification programme with some trepidation as I expected it to be mainly experienced coaches and I would feel an outsider! That was not the case at all. The design of the programme and the skills of the leaders allowed me to fully engage in the process of exploring and challenging myself. I had attended some Clean Language skills training before, but as a face-to-face programme, and discovered the power of using clean questions in many conversations. This training was online, delivered over a few weeks (which went by too quickly) and I remain amazed at how much I grew in my skills and enthusiasm for coaching using CL. So much so, that I am now describing myself as a coach and changing how I earn a living! The focus of this training is the development of skills via practice and feedback, just what I needed to develop my confidence and areas of development/training need. And…I have made new friends from across the world. I would recommend this training for anyone who wants to put their heart, as well as their head, into their coaching practice. I learnt so much about who I am as a coach and what I bring.

ICP-SYS: Clean Agile Systems Coaching is an entry-level course for those wishing to experience Systemic Modelling - a new way for people to learn about one another in groups, enabling them to move away from contempt and competition and towards curiosity and collaboration. 

Systemic Modelling is the brainchild of Caitlin Walker, author of From Contempt to Curiosity. When a few clean questions led her to a greater understanding of herself and a dramatic shift in her life, she decided to adapt the one-to-one therapeutic method developed by David Grove to create a robust methodology that would work for groups and organisations.

Clean Learning fully endorses this course offered by Agile Affinity. Moreover, Caitlin runs the ICP-SYS herself on specific dates. It is also the only ICP-SYS course to cover the prerequisites to continue onto the Systemic Modelling Rolling Programme.

Description

To truly excel in any skill, it is essential to practise and receive feedback from an experienced practitioner who can help you refine your abilities. Our six half-day online ‘Advanced Fine Tuning’ modules provide the perfect opportunity to gain valuable practice and receive targeted instruction in Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling from James Lawley and Marian Way. The focus will be on understanding the nuanced aspects that arise during a session so you can improve your facilitation skills.

The majority of our time will be dedicated to individual Symbolic Modelling sessions, with one participant acting as the facilitator while another assumes the client role, and with the rest of the group observing. As the session progresses, the trainer may intervene to offer you coaching in the moment, or you may receive feedback after the session. The trainers also will devise different activities, including bringing in inexperienced clients for you to work with.

Although the format will remain largely consistent, the content of each half-day session will vary depending on what’s happening within the Symbolic Modelling and on the interests of the group; throughout James and Marian will offer tailored instruction based on the group’s needs. Maximum group size is 12 to ensure there is plenty of time for individual attention.

To join a group, you will need to be at or close to Clean Facilitator Level 1. If you’re not sure whether this will be a good fit with your skills, please book a chat with Marian or send her an email.

The criteria for Clean Facilitator level 1 are shown in this document:

Description

Practice, along with feedback from a skilled practitioner who can help you to polish your skills, are key to getting really good at any skill. And these 3-day in-person or 6 x half-day online modules offer an opportunity for you to gain that practice, along with targeted tuition to help you to learn the nuances that arise within individual Clean Language, Symbolic Modelling & Clean Space sessions, and that will make all the difference to your facilitation skills. While the agenda will be emergent and formed in response to what is happening in the group, we’ll typically cover how to work with binds along with other advanced concepts and there will also be an opportunity for formal assessment for those working towards Certified Clean Facilitator Level 1.

This will all take place in a small group (no more than 6 participants per trainer). The majority of the time will be taken up with individual sessions where one participant is the facilitator, with another as client and everyone else observing. At the end of each session everyone will be invited to give feedback to the facilitator, so that everyone learns from what’s happening. Or you can choose to have feedback and coaching during the session. The format will be similar each time while the content of the events will vary according to what happens in the individual sessions.

The trainer will be offering tuition throughout the event, according to the group’s needs. So binds will be taught when a bind arises in someone’s landscape, the PRO Model will be revised when it becomes clear when there’s a need for that within the group, and so on. In this way, no time is wasted; everything you learn will be relevant to you and where you are with your learning right now.

If you wish to become a Certified Clean Facilitator, there will be an opportunity within each module for formal assessment against the Level 1 criteria (see below) – and when you are ready, we will record a session to send to a second assessor. (No extra charge for assessment.) Most people will need to attend three or more “Fine Tuning” modules to reach the required skill level. Formal assessment is optional; if you are already a certified facilitator or if you don’t want to be assessed or certified, you are just as welcome and you will have just as much facilitation and feedback time as everyone else.

Please note that to complete the Certified Clean Facilitator Certification, you will also need to attend a Clean Space workshop at some point and be prepared to demonstrate your Clean Space skills during one of the Fine Tuning modules.

Join us for this rolling programme of 3-day or 6 half-day modules on your way to becoming a top-class Clean Facilitator.


Who is it for?

These modules are for you if you:

  • Have completed Clean Language: Core Skills
  • Have the basics and want to take your practice further
  • Want to get really good at these skills and understand that this will take time, lots of practice and expert feedback from a skilled facilitator
  • Want to understand more of the nuances involved in this work, that may only arise from time to time in individual sessions
  • Want to improve your modelling skills
  • Want to learn how to work with binds and double binds
  • Are interested in becoming a Certified Clean Facilitator (Level 1)
  • Are willing to do what it takes to get really good at these skills
  • Want to bring a client along and get feedback on how you work with someone who has not had training in Clean Language (optional)

What will I gain?

  • Individual practice and feedback from your fellow participants and the trainer
  • Hone your observation, calibration and feedback skills as you observe other participants at work
  • Work towards Certified Clean Facilitator (Level 1) status
  • Highly targeted tuition to meet the needs of those in the group
  • Meet others who are at a similar level to you, so you can form practice partnerships / groups outside of the modules
  • Learn more nuances of Clean Language, Symbolic Modelling and Clean Space
  • Learn advanced techniques and models that are not taught on our Core Skills training (e.g. working with binds, REPROC model, working with line of sight)

Pre-requisites

To join this programme, you must have attended Clean Language: Core Skills at least once (or equivalent training from another provider). You will also find it helpful to read Clean Approaches for Coaches by Marian Way.

Testimonials

The three days of Fine Tuning were a real gift for me, enabling a quantum leap in my knowledge and understanding of the clean philosophy as well as my personal understanding and development. The group and the different topics each of us chose opened a new way into my inner thinking and model of the world. You created and held the space to enable my new insights - and by being confident that something good and valuable would emerge you conducted the training in a different way to most trainers, who try to demonstrate that they have the golden key or silver bullet to solve or improve everything. A huge thank you full of gratitude for the three days.

Frank

Marian tailors each session to the needs of the participants and, with exquisite patience, covers all the questions that we have, no matter how simple or complex. At the beginning of a session, we might cover some of the theory and concepts and then we get to practise, practise, practise, taking it in turn to be the facilitator, observer or client. We also get the chance to do longer sessions without interruptions so that we can experience all the phases of a symbolic modelling session from beginning to end which is incredibly useful. Fine Tuning is a thorough process that is customised to the needs of the participants and that gently but surely leads you to becoming more experienced and confident with your Clean facilitation skills.

Christiane Livingston

During 'Fine Tuning' I grew in confidence as my skills improved rapidly over just three days of practice and learning. I learned where my blind spots were and developed a metaphor for how I could be a better coach. This programme was certainly a worthwhile investment for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get better at being a clean coach.

Northern Taste of Clean 2024 - special price

Saturday 27 to Sunday 28 July 2024, 9:30am to 5:30pm BST each day

Price: £75.00 (£90 inc VAT)

Book your place

All event bookings are subject to our terms of sale.

Venue details


Description

A spicy mix of Clean-oriented research, business, music, modelling, debate and learning. Presenters and participants stimulate each other’s thinking and together create a fun, creative, brain-nourishing 2 days. The annual Northern Taste of Clean event has become a sparkling example of collaborative learning at its best. You don’t just attend ‘Northern Taste’ - you’re a part of it.

Join us for a 2-day smorgasbord of Clean Language-based sessions, where you will be able to meet:

  • Presenters from the world of clean, who will share their latest thinking and facilitate the group to stretch and adapt that thinking to suit their own needs.
  • Exponents of other methodologies who will help you see how clean relates to these different practices. In previous years this has included other coaching and therapy processes, rapping, Zen meditation, drawing and clowning and we've discovered how an experience of, say, meditation or clowning, can inform our own practice.
  • People who are actively using clean in various fields such as education, health care, sales and business. They’ll tell stories from their worlds and invite you to take part in the clean-based activities they’ve created.
  • Authors of new Clean Language books to launch their creations with a glass of bubbly.

The event starts on Saturday morning when we will rise and shine and energise. Then we'll work in threes and help each to do a ‘Clean Set Up’ for the event. This will help you to find out what kind of event you want it to be, how you want to be as a part of it and what we can all do to help you make the most of the weekend. This really does affect how the event unfolds - it’s truly responsive to what people want.

At the start of each day and after lunch, presenters will briefly summarise the theme of their sessions - it’s up to you to decide which sessions to attend. There’ll be several to choose from and some will be repeated, so there’s no need to worry about missing out. Group sizes will be small and the sessions interactive, so you can expect to learn and contribute lots and to meet all kinds of interesting people.

Why did we call the weekend the ‘Northern Taste of Clean’? Well, for a start there are the taster sessions - all in some way related to Clean Language - which we hope will let you sample a few of the different recipes from the Clean Language menu. Then there are also Shaun's fantastic and famous, healthy vegetarian lunches each day - a real feast for your eyes and your tastebuds.

On the Saturday, we will stop for a break between 6 and 7pm and later you can join us for supper and stories around the fire.

The event is just as suitable for beginners as it is for leaders in the field of Clean so if you know someone who you think would love to find out more about what Clean has to offer, please bring them along.

Testimonials

The Northern Taste of Clean event is the one event I really look forward to every year and it just keeps getting better and better! So much learning to be had and shared by the very best in the business - a real smorgasbord of Clean fun! The choice, variety and learning scope for gaining new skills and knowledge is vast and everyone is given the best of opportunities to meet and collaborate with some truly wonderful, highly skilled and experienced Clean professionals. What a truly incredible group of people, hosted by the two most delightfully welcoming hosts (Caitlin and Shaun) who go out of their way to open up their home to create a safe, comfortable and non-judgemental space and environment so that everyone is able to turn up, just as they are. It's events like this that are helping to build an even stronger Clean community and I already cannot wait for next year's! Thank you so much for opening me up to this beautiful world.

Jenny Ball

Northern Taste of Clean is a joyful way of finding out how people are using Clean Language in the world. It’s an opportunity to play and experiment and learn together in mini workshops and in between workshops.

Jacqueline Ann Surin

The Northern Taste of Clean is a welcoming environment, we're asked to bring curiosity and openness to new ideas, and it doesn't disappoint. It feels like a full embodied weekend, where you're able to find people who have similar interest in working to unlock peoples' potential and to practically apply clean to work spaces, schools, NGOs etc. to enable communities function at their best and that is a hopeful feeling. I'm energised to explore my clean spaces.

Please note that we need 10 people to book by June 15th to make this workshop viable.


Description

Clean Constellations is a blend of Systemic Constellations and Clean Space. In a constellations process, the client brings an issue and other people from the group are invited to become ‘representatives’ of various aspects of the client’s issue. These representatives are invited to express their experience of being in a certain space or role as the client’s system becomes available for observation, questioning and eventual modification. 

The process becomes a Clean Constellation when the facilitator:

  • Generally takes a clean stance  - i.e. they are content to simply name with love and without judgement what they see emerging in the constellation
  • Conducts the initial interview with the client cleanly
  • Uses Clean Language when questioning the representatives
  • Is timing their questions to be a good fit with what is happening for the client and the representatives 

Whereas a clean coach works with the client’s language (verbal or non-verbal) to help a client to access their own inner wisdom, a constellator works with what s/he sees, feels, hears from outside the client’s system and questions that. A client renounces ‘control’ over what is said and done by representatives in a constellation. (In clean coaching it often takes longer for the client to relinquish ‘control’ of what is emerging and to become an observer of his / her own system. 

During this 2-day workshop you will experience at least 4 systemic constellations either in the role of client, or as a representative in the client’s constellation, or as a part of a holding circle. The experience will be decoded in the light of 5 systemic principles emanating from Bert Hellinger’s initial body of work and developed by those who followed (Albrecht Mahr, Ty Francis, Judith Hemming, Jan Jacob Stam, Daan van Kampenhout to name a few). The experience will also be reviewed from the point of view of David Grove’s Clean Space work.

How will you benefit from this workshop?

As a client you will gain additional insight into an issue from a systemic point of view i.e. it may not be all about you.

As a representative you will experience the strangeness of embodying someone or something that you cannot have prior knowledge of. You will learn that all things and people belong somewhere and your ‘foreign’ experience is recognisable as belonging to the wider experience of humanity.

As a member of the holding circle you may remain neutral to what you see and hear unfolding before you but you will not remain indifferent. Your role may change at any point.

Globally you will enrich your understanding of how systems work and why they offer such a rich field of exploration. A constellation is just one tool that facilitates this understanding. Done cleanly, a constellation is a powerful way of working with a client that does not abuse their sovereignty but does challenge control of their narrative.

Description

Join us for a multi-level clean experience, with six of the world’s leading clean practitioners. Whether you choose to work on your own personal development, or focus on learning more about clean modelling, this will be a fantastic Clean Learning opportunity.

The event will centre around personal therapeutic development sessions. Everyone who attends will be facilitated by one or two of us for at least one session on a topic of their choice. If personal development is your main purpose for attending, you’ll be able to gain from several sessions over the course of the weekend. We’ll be using Clean LanguageSymbolic Modelling, Clean SpaceEmergent Knowledge and the Whirly Gig to facilitate your personal journey of insight, clarity and change.

Between your own development sessions, you can reflect, write, draw, walk, talk with other participants, observe others’ sessions, ask questions or coach someone else and be supervised by one of us. There will be several things going at once. We will often work in pairs, observing and asking each other modelling questions to learn more about how we each work. You’ll be able to observe all of this and to ask us your own modelling questions during the debrief sessions. This includes modelling what was happening in the facilitator’s mind as they were working with the client as well as modelling the unfolding structure of the session and the client’s journey.

Please note that this is a group event and all sessions will open for everyone to observe and participate. Everyone who attends the event will be expected to take part in at least one personal development session.

Testimonials

If there were a Glastonbury festival for the mind, this would be a pass to the backstage party.

David Brown

What a mind-blowing, life-changing experience! I knew the Adventures in Clean would change me in some way; I know how powerful the process is. Getting through and beyond a bind that has bothered me for some time has been a profound experience for me. Being able to find my voice and feel comfortable in voicing my opinion is also a great experience. Being able to model top Clean Language facilitators was also a rich experience as I witnessed many other peers who seem to have similar experiences to mine (judging by their smiling faces on the last day!) I'd like to thank the entire team, Marian, Caitlin, Shaun, Penny & James for their professionalism in organising this event and pulling off in a very well-orchestrated manner! As well as Marcus' awesome bodywork! Really helped my back condition many thanks! Shaun's fabulous meals – kept us feeling nourished from within as well. Enjoying the experience with the other attendees, my peers, also made the experience an even richer journey. The whole homely yet professional supportive Clean Learning environment was a most welcome experience. If you have taken Clean Language training and would not only like to see Clean Language in action by experienced professionals and/or have discovered areas in your personal life that you would like to be addressed, i.e. any blocks (my metaphor!) then Adventures in Clean is a must-have event to attend!

Lorraine Biggs

Adventures in Clean was a privilege to attend. I had the opportunity to witness the best in Clean work with others AND have the experience of being facilitated by the best. My professional knowledge has deepened and I am already more effective as a facilitator. Personally, I am now living within a metaphor that will stay with me and morph for the rest of my life. Already new behaviours have emerged, sometimes at unexpected moments. I will be forever grateful for those few days.

Description

Are you a coach, aspiring coach or Clean Language facilitator? Or a manager, consultant, HR specialist, health worker or leader who would like to gain skills in coaching with Clean Language? Would you like to gain formal accreditation as a coach with the International Coaching Federation (ICF)?

Join our Clean Coach Certification Programme to gain training in clean coaching which also forms the basis of your application to become an Associate Accredited Coach (ACC).

The ICF is the leading global organisation for coaches and coaching, dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high standards, providing independent certification and building a worldwide network of trained coaching professionals. ICF accreditation is often required by those procuring coaching services - as a guarantee of quality.

The ICF defines coaching as: Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential.

We recognised this definition as being a good fit with what happens during Clean Language sessions, and together with our colleagues in Sweden - Lena Sobel and Søren Holm, both experienced ICF coaches - we set out to create an accredited course that would allow coaches to make full use of Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling within their coaching practice.

During the course you will:

  • Establish definitions for coaching, Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling and learn how they can combine to produce powerful and often life-changing experiences for your clients.
  • Learn the basic clean questions of David Grove and how they can be used for maximum effect.
  • Practice Caitlin Walker's Clean Set Up model and ascertain different ways this can be used in a coaching context.
  • Find out how to use clean and clean-ish questions to reach and maintain agreements with clients, both at the start of a series of sessions and at the start of each individual session.
  • Discover how to identify problem statements, remedy statements, desired outcomes and resources and how to use clean questions to direct clients' attention more to desired outcomes and resources.
  • Determine which are the best clean questions for moving a client's attention from their conceptual, everyday world, towards a more metaphorical or symbolic expression of that world.
  • Learn how you can help your client to clarify the structure of their thinking by developing the unconscious metaphors they use.
  • Gain a deep understanding of the importance of metaphors in everyday communication and in coaching.
  • Find out how using Clean Language is a natural way to cultivate trust and safety with your client.
  • Participate in coaching practice sessions that will bring you rich personal development - as essential ingredient in becoming a coach.
  • Practice the Clean Feedback model during these sessions and integrate this into your coaching practice too.
  • Improve your listening skills and develop your coaching presence.
  • Discover how to partner with your client to design goals, actions and accountability measures that integrate and expand new learning.
  • Learn how the skills of Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling relate to the ICF Core Competencies.
  • Understand the ICF Code of Ethics and what needs to happen for you to apply it in your own coaching practice.
  • Have access to an online manual and to the Clean Campus - our online community of practice, where you can meet and practise with others on the course and with participants from other clean courses.

The training is either delivered in-person or over Zoom.

The in-person training will take place over two 4-day modules. Some sessions will be devoted to practice where you will receive feedback from experienced clean coaches who have already gained their accreditation with the ICF. During other sessions there'll be teaching, discussion, shorter practice activities, demonstrations and time for reflection. There will also be two sessions of group mentoring which will be delivered over Zoom on Saturday mornings. You will also receive 3 hours of 1-2-1 mentoring, also over Zoom.

The Zoom based training will take place over 17 x 4-hour sessions via Zoom. Some sessions will be devoted to practice where you will receive feedback from experienced clean coaches who have already gained their accreditation with the ICF. During other sessions there'll be teaching, discussion, shorter practice activities, demonstrations and time for reflection. The final two sessions will be group mentoring and you will also receive 3 hours of 1-2-1 mentoring. 

The Clean Coach Certification Programme is run according to clean principles, which means that although we’ll be going in a definite direction, the way we get there will be partly down to you and your needs, your questions and your interests. From the outset we’ll be discovering what kind of training you would like to have and we’ll be tailoring what we do to meet your needs. We’ll be checking in with you regularly, because we know that your ideas about what you’d like to have happen are likely to change as new information - about yourself, the process and the course itself - becomes available. 

We’ll be respecting and encouraging diverse thinking. We’ll be welcoming your contributions and your questions and we’ll be suggesting you ask them as they occur to you, so that your learning can happen in the moment. We love helping people to learn the skills of Clean Coaching - and to witness the personal development that occurs when these skills are put into practice. We hope you’ll find this programme fun, interesting and challenging, that you’ll enjoy the whole experience and that you’ll learn a lot.

This Clean Coach Certification Programme is accredited as an ICF Level 1 programme. It includes 52 hours training, 10 hours mentoring and your performance evaluation (where you record and transcribe a coaching session and submit this for evaluation). To gain the ACC accredition you will also need to do 100 hours of client coaching and pass the ICF's Credentialling Exam. Please note that there is an additional fee, payable to the ICF, for the credentialling process.

Testimonials

I am delighted to say that I have been awarded the PCC credential! I am ‘over the moon’ and can’t thank you enough for the role you have played in supporting my learning and development as a coach. One of the recordings I submitted for my application demonstrated how impactful Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling can be as a means of evoking awareness. It’s worth highlighting that the assessor feedback indicated that all but one PCC marker was observed for this session. I think that is a real credit to you and the wonderful course! Thank you.

Alastair Callaghan, Coach, Facilitator & Trainer

The Clean Coach Certification Program is one of the best, if not the very best, training programs in which I have participated in any topic. I started the program with an ICF Professional Coach Certification credential and many years of coaching experience. The program has made me a much more confident, relaxed and effective coach. Through highly interactive training sessions with two of the leaders in the field of Clean, Marian Way and Caitlin Walker, the other participants and I practiced progressively more specific and nuanced coaching skills that culminated in our ability to ‘know what we were up to’ to benefit our clients. One thing that made this training so effective and unique was how it was organically designed to meet the specific needs of our group of students. By observing our practice sessions and reviewing the resulting transcripts, Marian not only gave us valuable feedback, but she determined what we needed and then designed our next class around that. I have participated in very good trainings before, but they have all been scripted in advance, so did not feel as personally valuable or impactful to me. Marian and Caitlin really walked their talk and were constantly willing to explore what came up in our group. I continue to be amazed by the profound effect on my clients from providing them the space, curiosity and attention to get in touch with their subconscious metaphorical landscapes. The Clean approach to coaching quite simply changed my life for the better. How’s that for value! I highly recommend jumping at the chance to take this course and any other programs that Marian and Caitlin come up with.

Lisa Taylor

I started the Clean Coach Certification programme after a few years of deciding what would be the best next step for me to combine Clean Language skills with a planned programme of study to help me develop the next stage of my career. I am a nurse, working in healthcare and knew that I wanted a more focused approach to support the change that I wanted in my career. I joined the Clean Coach Certification programme with some trepidation as I expected it to be mainly experienced coaches and I would feel an outsider! That was not the case at all. The design of the programme and the skills of the leaders allowed me to fully engage in the process of exploring and challenging myself. I had attended some Clean Language skills training before, but as a face-to-face programme, and discovered the power of using clean questions in many conversations. This training was online, delivered over a few weeks (which went by too quickly) and I remain amazed at how much I grew in my skills and enthusiasm for coaching using CL. So much so, that I am now describing myself as a coach and changing how I earn a living! The focus of this training is the development of skills via practice and feedback, just what I needed to develop my confidence and areas of development/training need. And…I have made new friends from across the world. I would recommend this training for anyone who wants to put their heart, as well as their head, into their coaching practice. I learnt so much about who I am as a coach and what I bring.

1-Hour Clean Language Taster

Wednesday 3 July 2024, 1.30pm to 2.30pm BST

Price: £15.00 (£18 inc VAT)

Book your place

All event bookings are subject to our terms of sale.

Venue details


Description

Our 1-Hour Clean Language Tasters are designed to give you an experience of Clean Language during a friendly online session. We start by asking everyone present what they want to get out of the session and then we do our best to make sure that you get what you want - whether that’s learning about Clean Language, witnessing a demonstration or finding out more about us or our products and services.

In this way, we demonstrate our clean approach at work: the session is about you and what you want, rather than about us and what we imagine you want to know. It also means each session is different and so you can join us two or three times, learning something different each time. We want to answer your questions and give you an opportunity to get to know us.


Who is it for?

This webinar is for you if you:

  • Are new to Clean Language and would like to know more
  • Have questions about Clean Language or related topics
  • Like to know about new cutting-edge coaching tools
  • Want to witness - or take part in - a Clean Language session

What will I gain?

Each webinar is different, and the content will be dependent on who takes part. Typically we cover:

  • What Clean Language is and how it originated
  • The most useful Clean Language questions
  • How to use Clean Language to develop metaphors, and so unlock the power of the unconscious mind
  • A demonstration of Clean Language in a coaching or interviewing context
  • An opportunity to get all your questions answered

Thank you for this deep-going webinar. I benefitted in two ways: Professionally, I got a very good impression of Clean Language and how to determine when this method will be the right one for my clients. And I very much like the philosophy of David Grove. Personally, I had a deep insight what it needs to feel comfortable and have fun speaking English. And even while talking with you I felt an inner and symptomatic change. Wow. I was also very impressed by your attitude and clarity. Thank you. I'm now into Clean Language and I want to learn and experience more.

Description

Practice, along with feedback from a skilled practitioner who can help you to polish your skills, are key to getting really good at any skill. And these 3-day in-person or 6 x half-day online modules offer an opportunity for you to gain that practice, along with targeted tuition to help you to learn the nuances that arise within individual Clean Language, Symbolic Modelling & Clean Space sessions, and that will make all the difference to your facilitation skills. While the agenda will be emergent and formed in response to what is happening in the group, we’ll typically cover how to work with binds along with other advanced concepts and there will also be an opportunity for formal assessment for those working towards Certified Clean Facilitator Level 1.

This will all take place in a small group (no more than 6 participants per trainer). The majority of the time will be taken up with individual sessions where one participant is the facilitator, with another as client and everyone else observing. At the end of each session everyone will be invited to give feedback to the facilitator, so that everyone learns from what’s happening. Or you can choose to have feedback and coaching during the session. The format will be similar each time while the content of the events will vary according to what happens in the individual sessions.

The trainer will be offering tuition throughout the event, according to the group’s needs. So binds will be taught when a bind arises in someone’s landscape, the PRO Model will be revised when it becomes clear when there’s a need for that within the group, and so on. In this way, no time is wasted; everything you learn will be relevant to you and where you are with your learning right now.

If you wish to become a Certified Clean Facilitator, there will be an opportunity within each module for formal assessment against the Level 1 criteria (see below) – and when you are ready, we will record a session to send to a second assessor. (No extra charge for assessment.) Most people will need to attend three or more “Fine Tuning” modules to reach the required skill level. Formal assessment is optional; if you are already a certified facilitator or if you don’t want to be assessed or certified, you are just as welcome and you will have just as much facilitation and feedback time as everyone else.

Please note that to complete the Certified Clean Facilitator Certification, you will also need to attend a Clean Space workshop at some point and be prepared to demonstrate your Clean Space skills during one of the Fine Tuning modules.

Join us for this rolling programme of 3-day or 6 half-day modules on your way to becoming a top-class Clean Facilitator.


Who is it for?

These modules are for you if you:

  • Have completed Clean Language: Core Skills
  • Have the basics and want to take your practice further
  • Want to get really good at these skills and understand that this will take time, lots of practice and expert feedback from a skilled facilitator
  • Want to understand more of the nuances involved in this work, that may only arise from time to time in individual sessions
  • Want to improve your modelling skills
  • Want to learn how to work with binds and double binds
  • Are interested in becoming a Certified Clean Facilitator (Level 1)
  • Are willing to do what it takes to get really good at these skills
  • Want to bring a client along and get feedback on how you work with someone who has not had training in Clean Language (optional)

What will I gain?

  • Individual practice and feedback from your fellow participants and the trainer
  • Hone your observation, calibration and feedback skills as you observe other participants at work
  • Work towards Certified Clean Facilitator (Level 1) status
  • Highly targeted tuition to meet the needs of those in the group
  • Meet others who are at a similar level to you, so you can form practice partnerships / groups outside of the modules
  • Learn more nuances of Clean Language, Symbolic Modelling and Clean Space
  • Learn advanced techniques and models that are not taught on our Core Skills training (e.g. working with binds, REPROC model, working with line of sight)

Pre-requisites

To join this programme, you must have attended Clean Language: Core Skills at least once (or equivalent training from another provider). You will also find it helpful to read Clean Approaches for Coaches by Marian Way.

Testimonials

The three days of Fine Tuning were a real gift for me, enabling a quantum leap in my knowledge and understanding of the clean philosophy as well as my personal understanding and development. The group and the different topics each of us chose opened a new way into my inner thinking and model of the world. You created and held the space to enable my new insights - and by being confident that something good and valuable would emerge you conducted the training in a different way to most trainers, who try to demonstrate that they have the golden key or silver bullet to solve or improve everything. A huge thank you full of gratitude for the three days.

Frank

Marian tailors each session to the needs of the participants and, with exquisite patience, covers all the questions that we have, no matter how simple or complex. At the beginning of a session, we might cover some of the theory and concepts and then we get to practise, practise, practise, taking it in turn to be the facilitator, observer or client. We also get the chance to do longer sessions without interruptions so that we can experience all the phases of a symbolic modelling session from beginning to end which is incredibly useful. Fine Tuning is a thorough process that is customised to the needs of the participants and that gently but surely leads you to becoming more experienced and confident with your Clean facilitation skills.

Christiane Livingston

During 'Fine Tuning' I grew in confidence as my skills improved rapidly over just three days of practice and learning. I learned where my blind spots were and developed a metaphor for how I could be a better coach. This programme was certainly a worthwhile investment for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get better at being a clean coach.

Description

To truly excel in any skill, it is essential to practise and receive feedback from an experienced practitioner who can help you refine your abilities. Our six half-day online ‘Advanced Fine Tuning’ modules provide the perfect opportunity to gain valuable practice and receive targeted instruction in Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling from James Lawley and Marian Way. The focus will be on understanding the nuanced aspects that arise during a session so you can improve your facilitation skills.

The majority of our time will be dedicated to individual Symbolic Modelling sessions, with one participant acting as the facilitator while another assumes the client role, and with the rest of the group observing. As the session progresses, the trainer may intervene to offer you coaching in the moment, or you may receive feedback after the session. The trainers also will devise different activities, including bringing in inexperienced clients for you to work with.

Although the format will remain largely consistent, the content of each half-day session will vary depending on what’s happening within the Symbolic Modelling and on the interests of the group; throughout James and Marian will offer tailored instruction based on the group’s needs. Maximum group size is 12 to ensure there is plenty of time for individual attention.

To join a group, you will need to be at or close to Clean Facilitator Level 1. If you’re not sure whether this will be a good fit with your skills, please book a chat with Marian or send her an email.

The criteria for Clean Facilitator level 1 are shown in this document:

Description

Clean for Teams is an entry-level workshop / webinar series for those wishing to experience Systemic Modelling - a new way for people to learn about one another in groups, enabling them to move away from contempt and competition and towards curiosity and collaboration. 

Our facilitators will treat you as though you are a ‘real’ team, encouraging you to notice patterns in yourself and others and to collaborate so that each of you is learning at your best within a diverse group. In this way, you’ll be a recipient of Systemic Modelling (rather than a facilitator) and you will gain a direct experience of the benefits and challenges of being facilitated cleanly.

You may, of course, ask any questions about what the facilitators are doing and you can expect to take away ideas for putting what you’re learning into practice with your own groups or teams.

Systemic Modelling is the brainchild of Caitlin Walker, author of From Contempt to Curiosity. When a few clean questions led her to a greater understanding of herself and a dramatic shift in her life, she decided to adapt the one-to-one therapeutic method developed by David Grove to create a robust methodology that would work for groups and organisations.

Now you can experience the power of these questions – and Caitlin’s group methodology – for yourself in this fabulous, fascinating and fast-moving 2-day workshop or via 4 x 4-hour interactive Zoom sessions.

Clean Language was devised by clinical psychologist David Grove to enable people to explore their own and others’ perceptions. Rather than assume we know what someone means when they use a particular word, gesture or intonation, we can use clean questions to enquire into their experience. In a therapeutic context, David used clean questions to help people to get in touch with their unconscious metaphors and ingrained patterns underpinning their everyday experiences - and to be able to change these at a deep level.

Caitlin recognised that the information that emerges when people are asked clean questions will often be new – not just to the listener, but to the person who’s experience it is. In a group situation, everyone gets to know that information. This in turn can help people to:

  • Be more curious, deeply listen to one another, and work together in a respectful way
  • Learn about one another’s strengths and weaknesses
  • Sort out disagreements or conflicts by increasing their understanding of different perspectives
  • Clarify their thinking
  • Reveal assumptions so that conversations are held at a level everyone can understand
  • Discover hidden values

Excellent blend of theory and practice with some useful models and techniques - and a great bunch of delegates to work with. I got lots of really practical advice from Caitlin.

Sally Bean

I have now attended Clean for Teams twice - once with a large group of 20 and then with a small group of 6. It was really interesting to observe myself in these different environments and to find out what I needed to work and learn at my best in those groups. It was refreshing to be in a group where it was absolutely okay to ask for what I needed and to be so wonderfully supported to discover how my behaviour was interpreted by others and the impact it had on them. Every time I immerse myself in this process, I learn something else that makes it possible for me to show up as the best version of me without apology - both at home and at work.

Sheryl Andrews, The Strength and Solution Detective

I have just completed 'Clean for Teams' and have been inspired and astounded by the power of this process. If you are a manager or leader of a group or team you will not fail to gain clarity, understanding and appreciation of this process. I felt inspired and in awe of the trainers in the way they delivered and merged the learning involved so that as participants we all learnt in the way that felt best for us individually whilst developing our understanding of the group process. Highly recommended to anyone who works with teams or aspires to in the future.

Description

Clean for Teams is an entry-level workshop / webinar series for those wishing to experience Systemic Modelling - a new way for people to learn about one another in groups, enabling them to move away from contempt and competition and towards curiosity and collaboration. 

Our facilitators will treat you as though you are a ‘real’ team, encouraging you to notice patterns in yourself and others and to collaborate so that each of you is learning at your best within a diverse group. In this way, you’ll be a recipient of Systemic Modelling (rather than a facilitator) and you will gain a direct experience of the benefits and challenges of being facilitated cleanly.

You may, of course, ask any questions about what the facilitators are doing and you can expect to take away ideas for putting what you’re learning into practice with your own groups or teams.

Systemic Modelling is the brainchild of Caitlin Walker, author of From Contempt to Curiosity. When a few clean questions led her to a greater understanding of herself and a dramatic shift in her life, she decided to adapt the one-to-one therapeutic method developed by David Grove to create a robust methodology that would work for groups and organisations.

Now you can experience the power of these questions – and Caitlin’s group methodology – for yourself in this fabulous, fascinating and fast-moving 2-day workshop or via 4 x 4-hour interactive Zoom sessions.

Clean Language was devised by clinical psychologist David Grove to enable people to explore their own and others’ perceptions. Rather than assume we know what someone means when they use a particular word, gesture or intonation, we can use clean questions to enquire into their experience. In a therapeutic context, David used clean questions to help people to get in touch with their unconscious metaphors and ingrained patterns underpinning their everyday experiences - and to be able to change these at a deep level.

Caitlin recognised that the information that emerges when people are asked clean questions will often be new – not just to the listener, but to the person who’s experience it is. In a group situation, everyone gets to know that information. This in turn can help people to:

  • Be more curious, deeply listen to one another, and work together in a respectful way
  • Learn about one another’s strengths and weaknesses
  • Sort out disagreements or conflicts by increasing their understanding of different perspectives
  • Clarify their thinking
  • Reveal assumptions so that conversations are held at a level everyone can understand
  • Discover hidden values
  • Build shared models of understanding

Venue details


Description

Our 1-Hour Clean Language Tasters are designed to give you an experience of Clean Language during a friendly online session. We start by asking everyone present what they want to get out of the session and then we do our best to make sure that you get what you want - whether that’s learning about Clean Language, witnessing a demonstration or finding out more about us or our products and services.

In this way, we demonstrate our clean approach at work: the session is about you and what you want, rather than about us and what we imagine you want to know. It also means each session is different and so you can join us two or three times, learning something different each time. We want to answer your questions and give you an opportunity to get to know us.


Who is it for?

This webinar is for you if you:

  • Are new to Clean Language and would like to know more
  • Have questions about Clean Language or related topics
  • Like to know about new cutting-edge coaching tools
  • Want to witness - or take part in - a Clean Language session

What will I gain?

Each webinar is different, and the content will be dependent on who takes part. Typically we cover:

  • What Clean Language is and how it originated
  • The most useful Clean Language questions
  • How to use Clean Language to develop metaphors, and so unlock the power of the unconscious mind
  • A demonstration of Clean Language in a coaching or interviewing context
  • An opportunity to get all your questions answered

Testimonials

Thank you for this deep-going webinar. I benefitted in two ways: Professionally, I got a very good impression of Clean Language and how to determine when this method will be the right one for my clients. And I very much like the philosophy of David Grove. Personally, I had a deep insight what it needs to feel comfortable and have fun speaking English. And even while talking with you I felt an inner and symptomatic change. Wow. I was also very impressed by your attitude and clarity. Thank you. I'm now into Clean Language and I want to learn and experience more.

Description

Giving and receiving feedback is an essential skill whether in a personal, educational or professional context. And, to truly excel in any skill, it is essential to practise and refine your abilities. 

Clean Feedback is a way of giving someone (or yourself) feedback that is likely to be acted upon. This is because it separates out what actually happened (evidence) from what you are making up about that event (inference) and from the impact it is having. It has the following elements:

  • What worked well for you?
  • What didn't work so well for you?
  • What would work better for you

Getting curious about evidence, inference and impact can: 

  • Help in understanding where other people are coming from and making sense of their behaviour.
  • Respect diversity in thinking and working styles and prevents miscommunication and wasted effort.
  • Avoid offence and misunderstanding that can be caused by feedback that is littered with unfounded opinions.
  • Help de-personalise criticism, by referring to the behaviour rather than the person.

The Clean Feedback model is simple, effective and adaptable for different situations. It enables equal amounts of positive and developmental information and brings the giver into the frame. Feedback says as much about the patterns of the giver as the patterns of the receiver. 

Our half-day online workshop is designed to give you the opportunity to learn or deepen your knowledge of the Clean Feedback model and to develop your skills in discerning evidence from inference from impact as well as experiencing giving and receiving Clean Feedback live in the workshop.

There will also be time for your questions and for different/further aspects of this model to emerge depending on the group's interests.

Description

Learn the basics of this versatile skill that can be used with individuals and groups in any interview context where you want to obtain high-quality information while avoiding bias. The tools can be used practically in the fields of recruiting, marketing, sales and research, among others.

In a regular interview, it is very easy - and natural - to bias the data collection without even meaning to. We paraphrase the interviewee's words; we think we know what they mean (and so fail to ask further questions) and we ask questions which are full of our own assumptions. A clean interviewer seeks to reduce the possibility of bias creeping in by asking questions of the interviewee's actual words, exploring what's behind those words and asking questions which are as free from assumption as possible - all while keeping the purpose of the interview in mind.

During this training, you will learn:

  • The purpose of interviewing cleanly and its costs and benefits.
  • How to use the ‘Cleanness Rating’ to distinguish between classically clean, contextually clean, mildly leading and strongly leading questions.
  • How to frame a Clean Interview and keep it on track.
  • The purpose of repeating back and how often to do this.
  • How to summarise what’s been said and redirect attention.
  • Tips and troubleshooting.

To gain a certificate in Basic Clean Language Interviewing, you will need to submit a 20-minute interview for assessment. Assessment will be based on the Cleanness Rating and whether the interview is fit for purpose. (You will be able to submit one or two practice interviews for review/feedback during the course.)

Testimonials

When I think of Clean Interviewing, I think of "high fidelity." I'm convinced that if you need to relay the thoughts / knowledge / feelings / beliefs of individuals with minimal distortion, then Clean Interviewing is the best way to obtain the information. Since learning the techniques, I've started using them to facilitate communication between non-designers and designers. I've seen some evidence that "high fidelity" information from non-designers obtained early in a project can help designers to create a product that "feels right" more efficiently. I can imagine many other potential applications, and I believe that the world will be a better place if more people learn how to gather information in this respectful, non-leading way.

Lisa Hosokawa

As I age, what I engage with in terms of training has become, by default, increasingly intentional. Over the years, I have participated in a lot of the more cliche training that has swept over the corporate landscape in the United States, i.e. Myers Briggs, Be Here Now, etc. I am not suggesting that these trainings weren't valuable on some level, however, I would not have chosen them. When it comes to selecting training now, I think about relevance, and whether or not what is being offered will transcend a current trend. 'Basic Clean Interviewing', I have found fits that bill; in fact, it exceeded my expectations in terms of material covered and usability going forward. Being able to incorporate what I have learned so far, within the Clean Interviewing scope, will only deepen my understanding of the information I receive from those who I engage with in a Clean Interviewing context. I am SO grateful that this has been offered via Zoom in a timeframe that is accessible to my schedule in the U.S. and hope that others will consider this course and the perpetual benefits that it offers.

Deb Carpenter

The Basic Clean Interviewing training was like attending a series of dinner parties, with a great group in a relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed an entertaining mix of theory, practising and exchange, which revealed lots of interesting connections. This was the well-known quality of Clean Learning trainings in a new shape.

Description

Once you have experienced Systemic Modelling as a participant (on our Clean For Teams workshop, on or Clean Agile Systems Coaching or equivalent), you can join in with the Systemic Modelling rolling programme. This will give you a complete framework and an abundant toolbox for encouraging teams to move from contempt towards curiosity and collaboration. And we use the process to teach the process so you will be experiencing multi-level and collaborative learning at its best.

Regular in-depth and intensive training will enable you to develop competency in applying the principles that underpin Systemic Modelling. You will learn how to use clean questions and metaphor models to support a group to better understand one another and to develop the skills and capability they need to collaborate meaningfully.

You may join in one module at a time, or commit to attending four or eight modules (with a price reduction). Joining in on a long-term basis will enable you to explore the process more deeply, including the philosophy behind it and the skills required to deliver it well. There’ll be skill-building exercises to stretch your attention and to develop your confidence and in-the-moment coaching to ensure you’re competent in the process. You’ll be delivering group processes live to fellow participants and you’ll be offering and receiving feedback from trainers and peers. Between modules, you’ll be expected to find groups of your own to practice with. This programme is fun, full-on and focused.

The models and skills that make up Systemic Modelling include: clean questions; developing personal metaphors; group modelling; becoming #DramaFree; pattern detection; tracking patterns in the group dynamic; developing your personal modelling state. There’ll also be plenty of opportunity for discussion about applications and how you’ll put your learning into action.

There is a continuous assessment process, with a number of assignments that will require you to collect and act on feedback from the trainer, your fellow participants and any other recipients of your skills. You can start this process whenever you wish and when we are confident in your ability to develop a network of attention within a group you will gain your Systemic Modelling Foundation Certificate. And once you are also able to deliver all the models consistently and effectively you will be awarded your Systemic Modelling Professional Certificate.

This is the best training I have ever been on. I loved the open and welcoming atmosphere. Every moment was used as a teaching opportunity - it was truly an immersive experience. I had a sense of being welcomed into the clean tribe. So nice! I’m feeling so affirmed and challenged which is quite a thrill. Thank you. I’m looking forward to our next sessions already.

Michael Blythman, Psychotherapist

This course was highly enjoyable and I took away a bunch of tools and techniques to support the work I do as a systems coach. The trainer was really flexible through the programme working hard to meet the needs of everyone. The course was made doubly enjoyable by the very relaxed atmosphere.

Louise Yates

I’m a reasonably experienced business coach with some high profile clients, and with the tools I had at my disposal prior to Clean I was successful and my clients got good results. However, I’ve started using Clean very quickly after the programme and it’s taken my coaching and results onto another level.

Description

Join us for eight Zoom classes where you’ll start from scratch and learn how to help a client to access the metaphors and unconscious patterns that are driving their behaviours. Discover how to develop a person’s metaphor landscape and to encourage the conditions needed for deep and lasting change.

A key principle of Clean Language is that you do less, and your client achieves more. Its basic structure is a set of clean questions, and you will begin by learning these questions and how to ask them. You will find out how to unlock the power of metaphor and you’ll learn firsthand why it’s been described as a doorway to the unconscious mind. You will soon be able to guide others to access and delight in their own inner wisdom. And you will experience the intense satisfaction of being on the receiving end of such guidance.

As we go along, you will build on these basic skills by learning how to use Clean Language to work with clients’ desired outcomes. You will learn how to: steer their attention towards what they want; help them navigate their ‘metaphor landscape’; recognise changes that will happen before your eyes; and help your client to move towards their desired conclusion. And you will experience the power of this clean approach for yourself as your fellow participants work with you towards your own desired outcomes.

We take a step-by-step approach to teaching Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling, with lots of practice, experiences and demonstrations for you to learn from. There will be plenty of time for your questions and you'll also have access to an online manual and a community space just for your group. Plus you’ll meet other interesting, inspiring people doing great work in different fields - members of the global Clean Language community. You’ll also have multiple opportunities between modules to practise your skills with your fellow participants.

Clean Language is a simple methodology for understanding the complexity of human beings. Every client is unique so you will always be learning. And that can be infinitely worthwhile and rewarding.

If you want to improve your coaching skills or add more resources to your coaching toolbox, Clean Language is the perfect solution. Using the toolbox metaphor I would define it as the perfect ‘adjustable spanner’ that can add an extra dimension to your skill base. In addition, the teaching on "Core Skills" is dedicated and client centred. If you are involved in any ‘one to one’ healing work, then Clean Language can help you to help your clients.

Description

Join us for eight Zoom classes where you’ll start from scratch and learn how to help a client to access the metaphors and unconscious patterns that are driving their behaviours. Discover how to develop a person’s metaphor landscape and to encourage the conditions needed for deep and lasting change.

A key principle of Clean Language is that you do less, and your client achieves more. Its basic structure is a set of clean questions, and you will begin by learning these questions and how to ask them. You will find out how to unlock the power of metaphor and you’ll learn firsthand why it’s been described as a doorway to the unconscious mind. You will soon be able to guide others to access and delight in their own inner wisdom. And you will experience the intense satisfaction of being on the receiving end of such guidance.

As we go along, you will build on these basic skills by learning how to use Clean Language to work with clients’ desired outcomes. You will learn how to: steer their attention towards what they want; help them navigate their ‘metaphor landscape’; recognise changes that will happen before your eyes; and help your client to move towards their desired conclusion. And you will experience the power of this clean approach for yourself as your fellow participants work with you towards your own desired outcomes.

We take a step-by-step approach to teaching Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling, with lots of practice, experiences and demonstrations for you to learn from. There will be plenty of time for your questions and you'll also have access to an online manual and a community space just for your group.

Description

Practice, along with feedback from a skilled practitioner who can help you to polish your skills, are key to getting really good at any skill. And these 3-day in-person or 6 x half-day online modules offer an opportunity for you to gain that practice, along with targeted tuition to help you to learn the nuances that arise within individual Clean Language, Symbolic Modelling & Clean Space sessions, and that will make all the difference to your facilitation skills. While the agenda will be emergent and formed in response to what is happening in the group, we’ll typically cover how to work with binds along with other advanced concepts and there will also be an opportunity for formal assessment for those working towards Certified Clean Facilitator Level 1.

This will all take place in a small group (no more than 6 participants per trainer). The majority of the time will be taken up with individual sessions where one participant is the facilitator, with another as client and everyone else observing. At the end of each session everyone will be invited to give feedback to the facilitator, so that everyone learns from what’s happening. Or you can choose to have feedback and coaching during the session. The format will be similar each time while the content of the events will vary according to what happens in the individual sessions.

The trainer will be offering tuition throughout the event, according to the group’s needs. So binds will be taught when a bind arises in someone’s landscape, the PRO Model will be revised when it becomes clear when there’s a need for that within the group, and so on. In this way, no time is wasted; everything you learn will be relevant to you and where you are with your learning right now.

If you wish to become a Certified Clean Facilitator, there will be an opportunity within each module for formal assessment against the Level 1 criteria (see below) – and when you are ready, we will record a session to send to a second assessor. (No extra charge for assessment.) Most people will need to attend three or more “Fine Tuning” modules to reach the required skill level. Formal assessment is optional; if you are already a certified facilitator or if you don’t want to be assessed or certified, you are just as welcome and you will have just as much facilitation and feedback time as everyone else.

Please note that to complete the Certified Clean Facilitator Certification, you will also need to attend a Clean Space workshop at some point and be prepared to demonstrate your Clean Space skills during one of the Fine Tuning modules.

Join us for this rolling programme of 3-day or 6 half-day modules on your way to becoming a top-class Clean Facilitator.


Who is it for?

These modules are for you if you:

  • Have completed Clean Language: Core Skills
  • Have the basics and want to take your practice further
  • Want to get really good at these skills and understand that this will take time, lots of practice and expert feedback from a skilled facilitator
  • Want to understand more of the nuances involved in this work, that may only arise from time to time in individual sessions
  • Want to improve your modelling skills
  • Want to learn how to work with binds and double binds
  • Are interested in becoming a Certified Clean Facilitator (Level 1)
  • Are willing to do what it takes to get really good at these skills
  • Want to bring a client along and get feedback on how you work with someone who has not had training in Clean Language (optional)

What will I gain?

  • Individual practice and feedback from your fellow participants and the trainer
  • Hone your observation, calibration and feedback skills as you observe other participants at work
  • Work towards Certified Clean Facilitator (Level 1) status
  • Highly targeted tuition to meet the needs of those in the group
  • Meet others who are at a similar level to you, so you can form practice partnerships / groups outside of the modules
  • Learn more nuances of Clean Language, Symbolic Modelling and Clean Space
  • Learn advanced techniques and models that are not taught on our Core Skills training (e.g. working with binds, REPROC model, working with line of sight)

Pre-requisites

To join this programme, you must have attended Clean Language: Core Skills at least once (or equivalent training from another provider). You will also find it helpful to read Clean Approaches for Coaches by Marian Way.

Testimonials

The three days of Fine Tuning were a real gift for me, enabling a quantum leap in my knowledge and understanding of the clean philosophy as well as my personal understanding and development. The group and the different topics each of us chose opened a new way into my inner thinking and model of the world. You created and held the space to enable my new insights - and by being confident that something good and valuable would emerge you conducted the training in a different way to most trainers, who try to demonstrate that they have the golden key or silver bullet to solve or improve everything. A huge thank you full of gratitude for the three days.

Frank

Marian tailors each session to the needs of the participants and, with exquisite patience, covers all the questions that we have, no matter how simple or complex. At the beginning of a session, we might cover some of the theory and concepts and then we get to practise, practise, practise, taking it in turn to be the facilitator, observer or client. We also get the chance to do longer sessions without interruptions so that we can experience all the phases of a symbolic modelling session from beginning to end which is incredibly useful. Fine Tuning is a thorough process that is customised to the needs of the participants and that gently but surely leads you to becoming more experienced and confident with your Clean facilitation skills.

Christiane Livingston

During 'Fine Tuning' I grew in confidence as my skills improved rapidly over just three days of practice and learning. I learned where my blind spots were and developed a metaphor for how I could be a better coach. This programme was certainly a worthwhile investment for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get better at being a clean coach.

Inside Story: Clean Scoping

The main part of this course is now complete, and available to watch on video. There will be one more live session, Thursday 28 March 2024.

Price: £100.00 (£120 inc VAT)

Community price: £60.00 (£72 inc VAT)
If, for any reason you need to pay the community price, please just go ahead and choose it here.

Book your place

All event bookings are subject to our terms of sale.

Venue details

This Inside Story is a masterclass on Clean Scoping, following along before and after the main scoping meeting with a new potential client. 

Clean Scoping is the exploration which happens before a contract with a client.  For a contract which does go ahead, the subsequent learning will build upon the conversations already begun in this phase - so it's a kind of foundation for later success.

This potential client is a corporate team with changes coming up. So aside from the scoping theme, it'll be especially of interest to people using Systemic Modelling for organisational development. As ever, confidentiality is essential.

 

Session dates and topics:

The main part of this course is now complete - and we've turned it into a video course for people to do in their own time.

What's online includes about 4½ hours of video from the three Inside Story sessions with Caitlin, plus some written material to read.  All of this can be gone through in your own time, on the group's locked/private online space on the Clean Campus.

We will also have one more live session with Caitlin: 

  • Thursday 28 March, 7am to 8.30am GMT

 

Confidentiality statement:

  • This is an Inside Story, access to a live piece of work as it unfolds. 
  • Anyone who books onto this course is agreeing to strict confidentiality about the client, and to not sharing other people’s private thoughts and ideas which may come up during the process. 
  • You will need to sign a non-disclosure agreement before being given access to the course materials.

Description

Join us for eight Zoom classes where you’ll start from scratch and learn how to help a client to access the metaphors and unconscious patterns that are driving their behaviours. Discover how to develop a person’s metaphor landscape and to encourage the conditions needed for deep and lasting change.

A key principle of Clean Language is that you do less, and your client achieves more. Its basic structure is a set of clean questions, and you will begin by learning these questions and how to ask them. You will find out how to unlock the power of metaphor and you’ll learn firsthand why it’s been described as a doorway to the unconscious mind. You will soon be able to guide others to access and delight in their own inner wisdom. And you will experience the intense satisfaction of being on the receiving end of such guidance.

As we go along, you will build on these basic skills by learning how to use Clean Language to work with clients’ desired outcomes. You will learn how to: steer their attention towards what they want; help them navigate their ‘metaphor landscape’; recognise changes that will happen before your eyes; and help your client to move towards their desired conclusion. And you will experience the power of this clean approach for yourself as your fellow participants work with you towards your own desired outcomes.

We take a step-by-step approach to teaching Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling, with lots of practice, experiences and demonstrations for you to learn from. There will be plenty of time for your questions and you'll also have access to an online manual and a community space just for your group. Plus you’ll meet other interesting, inspiring people doing great work in different fields - members of the global Clean Language community. You’ll also have multiple opportunities between modules to practise your skills with your fellow participants.

Clean Language is a simple methodology for understanding the complexity of human beings. Every client is unique so you will always be learning. And that can be infinitely worthwhile and rewarding.


Week-by-week Agenda

  • Week 1: Introduction to Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling 
  • Week 2: Working with resources - developing conceptual words into symbolic perceptions
  • Week 3: Directing attention using words, gestures and voice
  • Week 4: Modelling - helping your client uncover the hidden structures behind their patterns of behaviour
  • Week 5: Working with desired outcomes 
  • Week 6: Navigating a whole session
  • Week 7: Change - how to create the conditions for change, how to identify change and what to do when things change
  • Week 8: Different ways to end a session

Who is it for?

The course was designed with coaches in mind and is also suitable for:

  • Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists
  • Health workers
  • Managers who want to use a coaching approach with their team
  • HR professionals, team leaders and mentors
  • NLP Practitioners
  • Students of modalities such as Motivational Interviewing, Appreciative Inquiry, Servant Leadership, Solution-Focus Coaching/Therapy or Non-Violent Communication
  • Anyone whose role involves helping other people to think
  • People who are future-oriented, outcome focussed and fascinated by what makes themselves and others tick
  • People who enjoy learning new tools and different ways of thinking

What will I gain?

  • The Clean Language questions and how to ask them for maximum impact
  • A way to help people feel understood and to gain new perspectives
  • Awareness of the assumptions you’re making a split second after someone speaks - and how to keep them to yourself so you can work with clients’ actual experiences
  • The principles of Clean Language and how to apply them in many different contexts
  • How to help someone to uncover the structure of their own thinking by developing the metaphors they use to express themselves
  • How to identify and work with a client’s desired outcomes and encourage the conditions for change to emerge naturally within their ‘metaphor landscape’.
  • Strategies for where to direct your client’s attention at different stages of the facilitation process
  • A greater understanding of the role that language, especially metaphor, plays in our lives, and how you can utilise that to create deep sustainable change

You will also gain masses of personal development as you learn more about your own patterns, mental models and desired outcomes.

Testimonials

If you want to improve your coaching skills or add more resources to your coaching toolbox, Clean Language is the perfect solution. Using the toolbox metaphor I would define it as the perfect ‘adjustable spanner’ that can add an extra dimension to your skill base. In addition, the teaching on "Core Skills" is dedicated and client centred. If you are involved in any ‘one to one’ healing work, then Clean Language can help you to help your clients.

A great course that really allows you to see the power of using Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling and is conducted at the perfect pace. I am really excited to put all I have learnt into practice.

Jo Wilson, NLP Trainer
