What happens when we combine Clean Language with singing, poetry, or Lego? What happens when we explore our inner landscapes using clean and art? How can a large group collaborate using Clean Space? How can clean be used within meditation or art therapy? What is the Tao of clean?
These are just some of the questions we’re hoping will be answered during a delightful and exciting two-day exploration: A Southern Taste of Clean and Art. We’ve booked a large venue and have already spoken with lots of people who are keen to fill it with all sorts of new, interesting and collaborative sessions. We’ll be unveiling these offerings in the months between now and next March: watch this space!
If you have an idea for a ‘clean’, an ‘art’, or a ‘clean and art’ topic you’d like to share (or one you’d like to request), please let us know.

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. And these 3-day in-person or 6 x half-day online modules offer an opportunity for you 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 sessions 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:
James Lawley studied with David Grove for 12 years and is the co-developer of Symbolic Modelling, and co-author of Metaphors in Mind. He teaches Symbolic Modelling to therapists, counsellors, coaches, managers and teachers throughout the world.

Join Marian and John at their home in Hampshire UK for a friendly relaxed training in a light airy room with fabulous views, plus delicious home-made lunches.
Clean for Teams is an entry-level workshop / webinar series for those wishing to experience Systemic Modelling - a new way of team coaching where people 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

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 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.

An excellent interactive workshop where we got to use the tools to increase learning, clarity and effective communication.
Are you a neurodivergent person wanting to uncover your strengths, understand your struggles, and develop strategies that suit your individual system? This programme is a weekly deep dive into our personal experience of neurodivergence. Each week, using clean modelling questions, we’ll explore the structure behind different aspects of how we interact with the world around us.
Topics we'll focus on may include:
How we experience time
Questions we enjoy and don’t enjoy being asked
What people can do or refrain from doing to support us
Masking
How do we know what we want
The programme will be of interest to:
Anyone wanting to understand their own system, that of their partner, friend, child or work colleague.
People who lead teams and want to understand their own patterns and preferences so they can work out how they might clash with or complement other people's systems.
Anyone who coaches ND clients.
You do not need an official diagnosis of neurodivergence, or past experience of Clean Language or Systemic Modelling. You just need to be interested in how your own system works and how it differs from those of other people. Together, we’ll explore and celebrate our idiosyncrasies in a small group setting.

Join us for a weekend of intensive coaching in a small group environment to help you break through old patterns or take a giant step towards a goal. Our Personal Journey weekend is an opportunity to clarify for yourself what you want and how to achieve it. By engaging in a series of clean coaching sessions over the two days, you will be opening yourself to the possibility of new and lasting shifts in perspective or the transformation of past problems. And you will gain the motivation and support you need to move forward.
Who is it for?
This workshop is for you if you:
Are at a crossroads in your work or life and would you benefit from a supportive environment to work out what do do next.
Have an important goal you want to achieve and need some help to figure out how to make it happen.
Want to break a pattern of behaviour that is past its sell-by date - and need a highly skilled facilitator to help you.
Simply want some quality time to think about an issue in more depth than your regular routine allows.
What’s involved?
The weekend starts with participant introductions and together you’ll set some ‘ground rules’ (e.g. around confidentiality) for the two days. Your coach will then work with each person in turn, starting with the question, “What would you like to have happen?”
Once you have a clear sense of your desired outcome, you’ll be invited to pay attention to it in other ways, such as mapping your metaphor landscape, researching your symbols, or writing.
Once your inner world has been activated in this way, you are likely to start gaining new insights. Perhaps different paths will open up, or maybe you’ll discover (or be reminded of) new aspects of yourself – so there’ll be plenty to think about.
During subsequent facilitated sessions, you can choose which direction you want to explore next, based on what’s happened so far. No two journeys are alike.
The weekend format gives you an opportunity to ‘sleep on it’ and people often gain important new insights overnight.
As the weekend continues, your coach will encourage you to consider what needs to happen (both in your metaphor landscape and in ‘real life’) for you to achieve your desired outcome, and to form an action plan for when you return home.
While this is very much a personal journey we have found that many participants derive extra benefit (e.g.: meeting like-minded people; knowing they are not alone, gaining ideas) from working in a respectful and supportive group setting.
The topic you choose to consider over the weekend is completely up to you. And in order to make the most of your time with us, we suggest you spend time beforehand considering your answer to, “What would you like to have happen?” Aim to sum up what you want as clearly as possible. Your desired outcome can be as ambitious – or not - as you want it to be.
Here are a few desired outcomes others have chosen to work on:
“I want to become more self-referenced, rather than spending all my time satisfying others’ needs.”
“I am two years off retirement and I’d like to pack up earlier but I don’t know what I want to do.”
“I’d like to understand why I’ve got to be interested in so many different things.”
“I want to come away from this weekend being a more complete person in my own right. I want more self-belief.”
“I need to learn how to be more direct.”
“I want to be in control of my life and my work, not having decisions made for me by other people.”
Additional Information
There will be between 4 and 6 participants per facilitator. This is to ensure that everyone gets the time and attention they need.

Join Marian and John at their home in Hampshire UK for a friendly relaxed training in a light airy room with fabulous views, plus delicious home-made lunches.
Take 4 hours to delve into the essentials of a simple yet powerful coaching process. Experience how different spaces can stimulate various types of thinking and creativity, and learn how to make ‘space’ your co-facilitator.
We often talk about ‘looking at a problem from different angles’. We speak of ‘coming at life from a whole new direction’. We insist, ‘Well, that’s how it looks from where I’m standing!’ Yet if questioned on our choice of phrase, we would likely shrug: ‘It’s just a manner of speaking.’
Clinical psychologist and therapist David Grove wondered what might happen if we were to take phrases like these literally - and physically. What if we were to physically move in three-dimensional space to gain an actual new perspective? Might we learn new information about ourselves and the world we create around us?
David experimented over several years with these ideas, discovering how the new disciplines of self-organisation, networks, and emergence revealed previously unobserved patterns in the process of creativity and problem-solving using space. All this work culminated in the process we now know as Clean Space.
In this focused session, you will get a taste of this extraordinary - yet exquisitely simple - form of clean facilitation, designed to encourage creative emergence in individuals.
Who is it for?
Coaches, therapists, managers, and anyone who wants to help others to think more creatively
Leaders who prefer to empower people rather than telling them what to do
Students of Clean Language and other clean approaches
People who need to generate new and creative ideas for problem-solving
Anyone who enjoys learning new tools and different ways of thinking
What’s involved?
The workshop starts with a brief overview of the Clean Space process and its origins in David Grove’s work. You’ll engage in a 'mini Clean Space' session to whet your appetite before witnessing a longer demonstration. This will be followed by a chance for you to have a go in the role of facilitator and client. The session will provide instruction, tips, and a chance to practice, with some guidance and feedback to help you get started. You’ll leave with a foundational understanding of how to use Clean Space techniques to foster creative thinking and problem-solving, including how to facilitate the process online.
During this workshop, you will:
Discover how to use space as your co-facilitator
Gain new insights into your own world using the Clean Space system
Facilitate creative thinking and make transformative changes
Help someone to emerge their inherent creativity with minimal interference
Learn to embrace the concept of ‘not-knowing’ - and not needing to know
Unlock the potential of your imagination and creativity with this powerful introductory session.
It is our imagination and creativity which will open the doors to progress. In the search for [greater] understanding ... we need tools that have not been part of our standard education and experience, tools that will open up the territory of our mind.
Joyce Wycott, author of “Mindmapping - Your Personal Guide to Exploring Creativity and Problem Solving
The problem is never how to get new innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get the old ones out. Every mind is a room packed with archaic furniture. Make an empty space in any corner of your mind, and creativity will instantly fill it.
Dee Hock, founder and former CEO of Visa

Description
Once you have experienced Systemic Modelling as a participant (on our Clean For Teams workshop), 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 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 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.

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
Systemic Modelling has been a real eye-opener for me, to see the levels that feedback can be taken to. Your ability, as coaches, to be precise, warm, constructive, observant & honest, along with your cooperation, which seemed completely relaxed & open, created lots of safety for me &, I think, for the group. You took our needs & wishes into consideration whilst keeping us moving forward & covering the materials. The clarity of your communication & the lightness of your tone, makes the work seem light even when it feels hard.

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 - an 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 takes place over 8 days in person or 15 x 4-hour sessions via Zoom. There'll be teaching, discussion, practice activities, demonstrations and time for reflection. Within practice sessions you will receive feedback from experienced clean coaches who have already gained their accreditation with the ICF. Following the training you will join two online group mentoring sessions 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 accreditation 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 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.
Sue Cradock
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.

Description
Clean Approaches for ADHD Coaches is a unique, experiential course designed to equip coaches with practical, evidence-informed tools for working with ADHD clients. Drawing on the precision of Clean Language and the power of metaphor, this course will help you to identify and navigate internal states, patterns of procrastination, and the structure of drama. Through a blend of demonstration, discussion and peer practice, you'll learn how to model states like regulation, dysregulation, learning and action — and discover how these insights can unlock meaningful change for your clients.
Whether you're newly qualified or an experienced practitioner, this course will deepen your capacity to listen cleanly, ask powerfully simple questions, and hold space for transformative insight. You'll leave with a comprehensive workbook full of your own and others’ metaphors, a toolkit of #DramaFree coaching strategies, and the confidence to meet ADHD clients exactly where they are — with clarity, compassion, and creativity.
If you attend this course and do the required homework, you can earn 10 CCEs from the ICF (International Coaching Federation): 8 x Core Competencies and 2 Resource Development.
Currently living in the Netherlands, Pascal is very active in the Clean Community and co-organises a yearly Clean Language Event. It is his mission to spread the ideas and practices of Clean Language as much as possible, as he believes these to be of great value.
Shaun is a facilitator of groups and organisations. He has a strong, calm energy for managing drama and conflict. He is also a highly skilled UKCP psychotherapist, and the world's most experienced "Whirly Gig" facilitator.

Description
The Clean Language Practice Group (formerly the Hampshire Practice Group) is designed to help you build your Clean Language skills in a fun and friendly environment. Marian Way runs the group and welcomes practice session topics from group members. She sends an invitation to each event between 7-14 days beforehand which includes details of the topic and what will happen. Sign up to receive these here.
The sessions last for 2 hours and newcomers are welcome.
Who is it for?
Anyone who has done some training in Clean Language - even if only a few days or a few hours
Anyone who is curious about clean approaches and wants to discover more
What will I gain?
Build your skills in Clean Language, Symbolic Modelling, Systemic Modelling, Clean Interviewing, Clean Space and Emergent Knowledge
Marian loves designing courses, leading them, writing, coaching and group facilitation. She is the author of Clean Approaches for Coaches and co-author of Insights in Space and So you want to be ... #DramaFree.
Once you have experienced Systemic Modelling as a participant (on our Clean For Teams workshop), 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 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.

Testimonials
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
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
Systemic Modelling has been a real eye-opener for me, to see the levels that feedback can be taken to. Your ability, as coaches, to be precise, warm, constructive, observant & honest, along with your cooperation, which seemed completely relaxed & open, created lots of safety for me &, I think, for the group. You took our needs & wishes into consideration whilst keeping us moving forward & covering the materials. The clarity of your communication & the lightness of your tone, makes the work seem light even when it feels hard.
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. And these 3-day in-person or 6 x half-day online modules offer an opportunity for you 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 sessions 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:
James Lawley studied with David Grove for 12 years and is the co-developer of Symbolic Modelling, and co-author of Metaphors in Mind. He teaches Symbolic Modelling to therapists, counsellors, coaches, managers and teachers throughout the world.

Description
"Quadributions" is a new model designed to help individuals and groups to pay attention to four different aspects of what is going on for them and to help coaches and facilitators to track where their clients' attention is, i.e. whether they are talking about something that...
Is happening and is wanted - a resource?
Is happening and isn’t wanted - a problem?
Isn’t happening and is wanted - a desired outcome?
Isn’t happening and isn’t wanted - an undesired outcome?
During this interactive 2-hour webinar, Caitlin will discuss and demonstrate how she uses it when working with a small group.
This is the second of three webinars on this topic. The first one focuses on using the model in one-to-one coaching contexts. This Part 2 will be about using the model with groups and Part 3 (to follow) will be about teaching the model to a group.
We strongly recommend you attend Part 1 first, before joining this webinar.
Caitlin is the developer of Systemic Modelling and author of From Contempt to Curiosity. She is equally at home sharing her ideas with large audiences, facilitating change in small groups and doing deep one-to-one therapy.

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

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.
