How CLEAN is your coaching LANGUAGE?

Posted on: 17 Sep 2019

When coaches talk about ‘Clean Language’, we are not talking about four letter words, but rather an impressively versatile tool for understanding people, how they think and how they change.

Judy Rees, Clean Language expert, author, facilitator, trainer and assessor explains Clean Language as a system of questions, and an associated process for asking them which can be used to:

  1. Harvest information from another person: what they know, what they think, how they feel
  2. Explore “unknown knowns” – the deeper things that people don’t realise that they know
  3. Shift someone’s emotional state
  4. Motivate someone to change
  5. Give and get effective, useable feedback
  6. Enhance relationships between people – even people in conflict.

We think Clean Language is an essential part of a coach’s toolkit, and this is why ReciproCoach has teamed up with Judy, to bring you the Clean Language Training Round.

The ReciproCoach Clean Language Training Round will give you access to Judy’s course, Clean Language Essentials For Coaches. Six 30-minute video classes, will train you in six specific techniques from David Grove’s Clean Language and show you how you can use them to improve your practical results with your clients, alongside your existing coaching models and approaches.

Combine this with 6 sessions of peer coaching both as a coach and a client, working with two different people for a total of 12 sessions, and you’ll get to to apply and experientially deepen your learning as you go.

Find out more about our introductory Clean Language Training Round here, or, if you already know about the power of Clean Language and want to join, go ahead and register here.

You may also like to sign up for the Clean Language group mentoring session (as a participant or observer) with Judy. This session will give you the opportunity to get/observe expert feedback on your/others’ Clean Language application within coaching sessions.
