In our ever-busier working lives, we often need to gather good information fast, while building deeper relationships with those we deal with.

What if there was a straightforward way of skipping the small talk and cutting to the chase - while still making people feel deeply heard and understood?

In this session you’ll experience and experiment with a precision inquiry methodology that can do all of that, called Clean Language.

Please note this will be an active, engaging session, not a webinar - show up ready to be heard, seen and recorded.

Learning outcomes

• Experience how a subtle change in the questions you ask can improve the results of your conversations
• Try out a little-known way to make someone quickly feel heard and understood - without any need for small talk
• Identify opportunities to apply these ideas in your own work and life.
