How can we use language to break societal rules and create new possibilities for personal and organizational growth? In this session, Dr. Caitlin Walker explores Clean Language, a method of inquiry that helps individuals recognize and reframe their own limiting patterns. Caitlin shares her journey, from discovering Clean Language through David Grove to applying it with at-risk teenagers, business teams, and university students. Learn how asking simple, non-judgmental questions can unlock transformative metaphors and create lasting change.
Key Takeaways:
- Clean Language helps individuals reflect on and reframe their experiences through metaphors.
- Asking non-directive questions leads to profound insights, fostering self-awareness and behavioral change.
- This method is applicable in diverse contexts, from psychotherapy to organizational development and conflict resolution.
