Use clean with individuals
If you’re a coach, therapist, mentor, interviewer or anyone who works with individuals to gather high-quality data or help people reach their goals or think more clearly, it is worth exploring how Clean Language can enhance your practice. Start with a short course to gain an appreciation of what Clean Language is and how it works, or you can jump straight into a longer course to become an accredited clean coach.
