Full details of the programme of speakers are still being worked out but it will include most of the top names from the Clean Community including Penny Tompkins and James Lawley, Charles Faulkner, Caitlin Walker, Wendy Sullivan, Jennifer de Gandt, Phillip Harland and many more.

Cleaning tip
This month's tip comes courtesy of Caitlin Walker of www.trainingattention.co.uk, who has just released a DVD of exercises using, and applications of, Clean Language. She says: "When you are learning Clean Language I encourage you to just be curious - how do people do what they do? Go and take anything that anybody is willing to let you play around with and model it. Sometimes, simply understanding the structure of it will make things change."
Competition winner
Many thanks to everyone who entered our draw to win £1000 worth of training. The winner was Nethi Demetriou of Chingford, London. Congratulations, Nethi!
Coaching with Metaphor
'Instant Coaching - Just add metaphor!' is the theme of Wendy Sullivan and Judy Rees' presentation at the NLP Conference one-day event in London on 19 April - look here for details. If you're a coach and can't make that event, Wendy and Judy are happy to speak at coaching circles, networking groups etc. Want to read about coaching with metaphor? There's an article by Penny and James here.
Faster meetings with Clean
Do you and your colleagues look forward to internal meetings as great places to get things done quickly? If not, your organisation could save time and money by using Clean techniques to make them faster and more effective. Clean Change for Business is offering companies a chance to 'test drive' the approach at a discount in exchange for publishable case studies. For more information, contact Judy.
What's Clean like for you?
Michael Gilbert says that for him, Clean is like: "Being entranced by one's own truth, real or imagined, by following one's own path wherever it may lead in the land of one self." Who has something different from these? Please email us.
Clean Summer School
This year's Summer School in Cambridge, UK, is filling up. If you enjoy intense learning experiences with loads of personal development thrown in, this event is for you. Find details here.
From the land Down Under
An Australian computer expert plans to move to the UK from May to December just so he can attend Clean Change Company's Advanced Modules! He's now looking for contract work on mainframe computers and/or using the 'olde worlde' languages COBOL or SAS: if you have any ideas please contact Judy.
This newsletter is issued by Clean Change Company in association with The Developing Company.
