Seven Practical Ways to Use Clean Language at Work

The most succinct, results-oriented introduction to using Clean Language available. Anywhere.

Judy Rees, co-author of Clean Language: Revealing Metaphors and Opening Minds reveals the techniques that have delivered the goods for both new and experienced facilitators, and distills them into simple, step-by-step instructions.

By exploiting the power of listening, questioning and metaphor, you can:

– Clarify what someone really means

– Build rapid rapport

– Motivate people

– Discover real requirements

– Help people do their best and most creative work

– Coach people to take action.

Judy has helped to train dozens of people from all over the world to use these techniques, mentoring them as they’ve taken their first steps in applying them in their own workplaces, and sharing their challenges and triumphs. She has interviewed dozens of experienced Clean Language facilitators and gathered their success stories. She has trained groups within companies to put these skills into action.

And of course she has been there herself – using Clean Language at the sharp end of sales, marketing, web development, team development, journalism, recruitment and more.

If you’ve picked up the Clean Language principles, this book will help you put them into action. And if you’re a newcomer to X-Ray Listening, it’ll give you a sense of the huge range of contexts in which these skills can be applied. Published March 2010

“Helpful, informative, attractive and relevant. I think people will like it and find it useful. And if I had it before I’d trained, it would have given me a way to test out some ideas and it would have whetted my appetite to find out more.” Julie McCracken, teacher, Clean Language facilitator and coach.

David Lee from Shrewsbury said: “I was writing a paper about developing clinical leadership within the NHS. I wasn’t happy with the first draft so sat down with some home made Clean Language prompt cards derived from your e-book. I felt as though this contributed greatly to a much more satisfactory paper.”

“I just wanted to express my pleasure with your book Six Practical Ways to Use Clean Language at Work. I wasn’t sure how Clean Language would apply to my working environment, but it seems as though my “concern” has been answered with the explanations in your book. I understand that your book was only a small part of a much larger picture, but the information provided me with the “push” I needed to search for more guidance through training. Thank you.” Rick Burke,
