I came to this book having trained as a Clean Language facilitator with Wendy and Judy and having read Metaphors in Mind by James Lawley and Penny Tomkins.

The power of ‘Clean Language: Revealing Metaphors And Opening Minds’ is in it’s simplicity and clarity.

It takes a reader step by step through a learning process – providing exercises and examples, taken from a variety of ‘real life’ contexts – that is so well structured that readers are able to learn the process and put it into practice without additional input.
It’s also a valuable resource for experienced practitioners because it covers the spectrum, from basic to advanced techniques in the same clear, concise style.

I’ve seen newcomers begin to use Clean Language having read the book and practised the exercises, with no other external support. I’ve also see students arrive at a live training, having read the book beforehand, and make accelerated progress as facilitators because of it.

As a teacher and coach I can see that it’s holds the kind of information that has the potential to transform the practice and effectiveness of educators and coaches around the globe and so it will make a valuable addition to anyone’s professional reading list.

I can thoroughly recommend it!
