Modules 1 & 2 by Zoom: Introducing Clean Language and Metaphor
Now included free as part of Clean Change Community membership
If you care about people, how they think, and what motivates and influences them to change, you need to know about Clean Language. This elegant and powerful questioning technique opens a door to a new way of thinking about how people’s minds actually work. Latest research reveals that metaphor is the very stuff of thought. Our unconscious habit of thinking of one thing in terms of another is at the heart of what makes people tick. We now know that metaphor is the native language of the mind – especially the unconscious (or emotional) mind.
Dates & Times
Times: Tuesdays 5:00-7:30pm (UK time)Dates: 19 Mar 2024 - mid 2024
