Would you like better relationships, a deeper understanding of the people around you, and a simple yet powerful way to help them achieve their life goals?
Clean Language: Revealing Metaphors and Opening Minds can offer all this and more. This book will teach you a new way to communicate which gets to the heart of things! By asking Clean Language questions to explore the metaphors which underpin a person’s thinking, you can help people to change their lives in a way that intrinsically respects diversity and supports empowerment. Both you and they will gain profound new insights into what makes them tick.
Devised by David Grove, this elegant and powerful questioning technique is simple to learn and opens a door to a new way of thinking about how people’s minds actually work – by using metaphor. If you want to truly understand people, to motivate them, or to help them to change, you’ll find it much easier when you use Clean Language to ask the questions that really matter.
The approach was originally used to help clients to resolve deep trauma. It is now being used to get to the truth and to cut through complex problems by some of the sharpest and most innovative people in the world – business people, coaches, educators, health professionals and many others. In this book, two of the world’s top specialists in Clean Language bring this fascinating new approach within reach. Expect to change the way you think about the way we think!
Essential reading for coaches, healthcare professionals, parents, business people, teachers, therapists and for anyone who wants to improve his or her communication skills.
Product Information
''Wendy and Judy are like 'practical' angels inside our mind, they explain the importance of language. You can’t not know how to listen to people, how to learn from listening to other’s strategy, how to ask questions to your mind, how to discover your map of the word from your vocabulary. This book is clear, fun with deep strategies to make that fundamental step towards self comprehension, a tool for each of us and a little work book for teachers, parents, coaches.'' - Debora Conti NLP Trainer
''I had been waiting the publication of this book with an excitement and expectation reminiscent of when I was a child awaiting a much wanted Christmas present, hoping that Father Christmas would come through with just what I wanted. I wasn't disappointed. I had hoped for a book that would strengthen my fledgling knowledge of the basics of Symbolic Modelling and Clean Language. I got far more than that. This book encourages and enables the reader to hatch out into a new exciting world. It feeds, coaches and guides the reader to take to the sky and explore the wonders that 'Clean' has to offer. It is an experience not to be missed.'' - Maureen O’Meara Speech and Language Therapist
