Remember your first experience of Clean? The time you discovered how good it felt to explore your own ‘stuff’ and generate your own changes, rather than trying to squeeze yourself into someone else’s idea of how you should be?
We want more people to enjoy that experience. How about you?
“Conversation and Clean Language”: 5 September, Earl’s Court, London. Everyone’s welcome to this open taster session. Whoever you know who’s curious about Clean, bring them along! There’ll be time for socialising, too. Starts 7pm, upstairs at The Tournament pub, 344 Old Brompton Road, SW5 9JU.
And if you can’t make it, check www.smallchangecompany.com for details of our beginners' teleclass.
We want your Clean success stories!
If you’ve been using Clean for a while, you’ve probably got a stack of success stories. We’d love to hear them – and share them! The idea is to include them in future newsletters, and perhaps even in a forthcoming book or e-book.
And we know you’re a modest lot. So to encourage you out of your shell, here’s a chance to win training worth up to £487! Send your stories to info@smallchangecompany.com by 30 September to be entered in a draw to win a place on the Small Change Company training of your choice (prize must be claimed before 31 July, 2007). One draw entry per story, so don’t hold back!
Add shine to your skills with Clean Certification
Have you ever wondered just how good your Clean skills are? Now’s the chance to find out – and prove them to the world. On 18 – 19 January 2007 we’ll be holding our first-ever Certification event for people who’ve completed Small Change Company’s Modules 1 – 4 (or equivalent).
Over two days, you’ll be closely supervised as you practice by a team including Penny Tompkins, James Lawley and Wendy Sullivan, given detailed feedback on your approach, and, if you meet the required standard, registered as a Clean Facilitator (Foundation level). We’d love you to join us! Check www.smallchangecompany.com for full details.
Start training now – be certified in January
If you haven’t yet started your Clean Language training, there’s still time to complete your basic training before Christmas. Places are still available on the next Module 1 and 2, on 26 – 29 September. The next Module 3 is on 6 – 8 November and Module 4 on 6 – 8 December.
How Clean Is Your Language? Cleaning Tip
Even we admit that Clean isn’t brilliant for everything!
Top times to give advice:
- When you hold a specific piece of information your client seems to be missing
- When your personal beliefs and values won’t allow you to keep quiet
- When asked directly for your opinion
Top times to stay Clean:
- When the person you’re working with is deep in their ‘stuff’
- When you want to make sure they take ownership of something
- When you haven’t yet had the opportunity to build up a really good understanding of what is going on for them.
"Six-figure NLP" project
We want to see Clean practitioners making a good living from Clean! So we were interested when we heard about a series of low-cost teleseminars being organised by Jonathan Altfeld and Doug O'Brien. Experts from both sides of the Atlantic (including Small Change Company’s Judy Rees) are revealing the secrets that enable some people to build six-figure practices using the skills they have learned in NLP and hypnosis – and our guess is that several of these will work for Clean businesses, too. Sign up to join the programme here: http://www.sixfigurenlp.co.uk/cmd.php?af=429565
Last chance for Clean Open University course
The final running of the Open University course, 'Practical Thinking', which makes extensive use of Clean Language and Metaphor, will start on October 2006. To join it, you need to register by 17 September. For details see http://tscp.open.ac.uk/t185.htm
