Clean Language at Work is a resource book of simple, practical ideas for anyone who wants to make a positive difference in organisations. Written by experts in an innovative approach called ‘Clean Language’, this book embraces the latest findings of cognitive science on the role of metaphor in thought. It is accessible and easy to use, containing 30 tried and tested applications of Clean Language. It provides a new approach to conversational change that shows you how to stop advising and start truly enhancing others’ thinking power so that problems get solved, people ‘get’ each other and life becomes less fraught.

This book will enable you to tap into how people think so that you can get to the heart of issues faster and more easily, avoiding needless misunderstandings and resistance. Like a short cut that is clear of traffic, it allows you and all who travel with you to arrive at your destination fresh, relaxed and in good time.
