What Do Trainees Say?

What Trainees Say:

“Clear, well-structured, excellent modeling.  I feel I have a good start both in theory and practice.”

—Susan Cook-Greuter, Developmental Psychologist, Boston, MA

“This is a very fascinating and stimulating training. The clean language skills open up so much depth and subtlety in working with metaphor. I loved the sense of gaining access to life as a living metaphor and the levels of creativity tapped into.”

—Brona McArdle, Life Coach, St Albert, AB

“Gina’s commitment to the development of skills in her students is unparalleled….After the training I was excited to teach the faculty how to use Clean Language to be more effective in listening to parents, and in resolving conflicts that arise with students.  Using drawing to explore metaphors is a natural with young people unable to articulate their experiences or goals, both individually and in groups.”

—Jill Rowan, LCPC/School Counselor, Baltimore, MD

“Learning how to use Clean Language has greatly enriched my communication skills on both personal and professional levels. In dreamlike ease, different ways of being are developed and change naturally happens. I have incorporated Clean Language and Symbolic Modeling into my work as a life coach. I also very much enjoyed the training as a discovery and journey into my own metaphors and inner landscapes.”

—Angela Baldinger, Life Coach, Edmonton, AB

“The training far exceeded my expectations. I can actually use the process to help people in their discovery process.”

—Rima Shafer, Life Coach,Washington, DC

“As a trainee facilitator, I am amazed at how easy it is to support another in getting in contact with, and unfolding that which is already there, just overlooked. Also the constant exercise of focus on being “clean” absolutely minimizes my point of view to the point of only wonder, and maximizes the support for the other to unfold and reveal her/him self in a very gratifying learning adventure.”

—Carl Van Rossum, Constellations Facilitator, Alberta

“I want to take Level II and beyond…This is a process that really addresses what we call “blocks to treatment”, especially at the “spirit level.”

—Diana Keener, Acupuncturist, Baltimore, MD

“Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling continues to astound and tickle me.  I find myself using an aspect or adaptation of it every coaching session I do.  It is an intriguing way to explore below the surface.  And it’s always surprising, for me and my client.”

—Lisa Hanel, Life and Clarity Coach, St Albert, Alberta
