Clean Language is a therapeutic approach based on questioning (and listening) that was rooted in the idea of honoring the client's language rather than paraphrasing it. Clean Language in Business is a resource book of simple, practical ideas for anyone who wants to make a positive difference in the way their organization operates. Written by experts from the field of business psychology, this book presents an innovative approach known as "Clean Language." It embraces the latest findings on the use of metaphors and their importance in developing a clear understanding of what is being discussed. This book is accessible and easy to use, containing over thirty tried and rested applications of Clean Language. It provides a new approach to conversational change that shows how to stop advising and start to truly enhance others thinking power so that problems get solved, people "get" each other and life becomes less filled with angst. It 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 misunderstanding and resistance. Like a short cut that bypasses traffic, it allows you and your associates to travel and arrive at your destinations fresh, relaxed, and on time.
