In Episode 52 of the podcast we talked about using metaphor in coaching and briefly touched on the coaching approach known as Clean Language.

In this episode we take a deeper dive into the ‘Clean Language’ approach and explore its origins. We also take a look at what distinguishes it from other coaching approaches and explore some of Clean Language’s strengths and weaknesses. 

We know that reflecting back the coachee’s own words in a coaching session often proves more powerful than paraphrasing, and the ‘Clean Language’ approach takes this approach to another level. In using the client’s own terminology, a clean language coach builds on their choice of words to elicit metaphors and a metaphorical landscape that allows the coachee to think differently, and gain new insights, about themself and their situation. 

During this conversation we will explore what the ‘Clean Language’ approach sounds like, how it is constructed and what we might draw from it to weave into a more integrative approach to coaching.
