What is Clean Coaching?
Clean Coaching provides a different, simple yet highly effective approach to one-to-one facilitation. It is a style, strategy and set of techniques that help coachees gain insight and make changes through discovering more about their own ‘insider’ perspective: of themselves and the world around them.
Through the use of specifically-phrased, structured coaching questions, the coach’s own biased perspectives are stripped from their language, ensuring the coachee’s unique personal experience is honoured. With no distraction, the coachee’s imagination is free to flourish and new ideas and understandings can emerge.
Our Training
Our Complete ‘Clean Coaching’ Online Training Programme consists of FOUR MODULES which enable you to learn at your own pace and at a time that suits you. Whether you want to dip in and develop a fresh approach to your coaching, or dive deep and gain our accreditation in Clean Coaching, we have something for you. The arrows above show the typical progression that students follow when learning with us, although each module is designed also to stand alone, so you can choose whichever module best serves your requirements.
