Clean Language
'Clean' is a metaphor for a way of being with others that is free (clean) of own assumptions, pre-suppositions, interpretations, judgments. It minimizes unintended influence on others and reduces the risk of wasteful projections. The aim is to leave people free to answer from their experience, unlock their creativity and let them come up with solutions that match their way of being in the world. Symbolic Modeling is a coaching and therapeutic methodology that uses Clean Language questions and Clean Thinking as the heart of the model.
During this workshop you will discover and become comfortable using the 12 primary Clean Questions and the Problem-Remedy-Outcome Model (PRO) to model what is happening in your clients world, what they would like to have happen and begin helping them achieve clarity, solutions and personal/professional transformations! This workshop covers the full spectrum of the Symbolic Modeling Process giving you the logic and structure of the methodology, along with a hands on appreciation of how 'simplicity in action' or less is more thinking can help your clients faster and in more generative ways.
