Clean Change Company

02 – 15 August 2010. Bring your consulting and coaching skills bang up to date by learning  advanced communication skills in a packed 14-day intensive event. This is the international event for courageous, curious, and creative individuals who want to use Clean Language and metaphor to achieve great results straight away.

Past participants have included teachers, coaches, IT developers, trainers, health professionals, managers, psychotherapists, HR professionals and more… people come from all over the world, including the USA, Canada, Russia and Australia… it all makes for a rich and exotic learning environment!

With Clean Language, you’ll be equipped to achieve genuine clarity of understanding, to listen as you’ve never listened before, to explore the hidden depths of people’s unconscious systems and to facilitate transformative, long-lasting change.

“In all honesty I have not been involved in anything so challenging, thought-provoking and vision-enhancing as the last days doing Clean Language.  It certainly was a skill-changing experience and I am going to be putting the process into action as soon as possible.” Summer School participant Pamela Hadfield.

The training

The Summer School covers the whole of our foundation course:

Module 1, Introducing Clean Language and Metaphor, two days: 2 & 3 August (Click module title to see details)

• Learn the different types of Clean Language question and when to use them
• Experience the power of metaphoric worlds
• Take your listening skills to a new level
• Start to notice and use the ‘casual’ metaphors in everyday conversation.

Module 2, Targeting Change, two days: 4 & 5 August (Click module title to see details)

• Direct your Clean work toward change
• Use the metaphors in ‘body language’
• Watch metaphors develop ‘a life of their own’
• Distinguish problems, remedies & outcomes.

Module 3, Changing for Good, three days: 7 – 9 August (Click module title to see details)

• Structure your Clean sessions within a comprehensive Framework for Change
• Use metaphor to create action plans
• Start to devise your own Clean applications
• Find out about the times when even top Clean specialists don’t use Clean.

Module 4, Space for Success, three days: 10 -12 August (Click module title to see details)

• Find out how and why physical space makes such a difference in our lives
• Learn to harness space — and different kinds of spaces — in new and unusual ways
• Enjoy the synchronicities which emerge when space is your co-facilitator.

Certification, two days: 14 & 15 August (Click module title to see details)

• Be assessed against internationally-agreed competency criteria
• Receive high-quality feedback on your skills from a team including Wendy Sullivan
• Meet the standard, and you’ll become a Certified Clean Facilitator (Foundation level).

(The 6th and 13th August are scheduled as rest/practice days)

The event will be led by Wendy Sullivan, one of the world’s leading trainers of Clean.

There’ll be support from a team of experienced assistants. Thanks to them, there’ll be additional, optional evening activities and practice sessions.

Because we’ll be together many more hours per day than on our standard trainings, there’ll be lots of time for practice, for making friends, and for developing your ideas about how to put your Clean skills to use back home.

Free time for sightseeing, however, will be limited. Following feedback from our first residential event in 2007, we added two rest days to the programme. Experience suggests you will need to use them to rest!

Whether you’re looking to improve communication in business,  dramatically increase your effectiveness as a coach, therapist or counsellor, develop research and interviewing techniques which get to the truth faster and more accurately, or want to use Symbolic Modelling for something completely different, this is the quickest way to Clean up.

It all adds up to a great adventure.

The venue

Old Deer Park, 187 Kew Road, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 2AZ

The experience

Expect to make great friends while working in a multinational, multicultural group.

Expect to spend time on your feet, and out of doors where possible.

Expect to throw yourself into the experience and to feel stretched. Be ready to challenge and be challenged – as with all Clean Change courses, don’t attend if you prefer to be “sheep-dipped”!

“I am so pleased that you went ahead with the summer school. It has added so much more to my understanding of clean and the environment seemed to push us all along so easily.
