Here are the first few lines of what Judy Rees says about Clean Language:
"...if you’re interested in understanding people, how they think and how
they change, you’ll want to know about Clean Language.
It’s an impressively versatile tool for finding out out what people are
really thinking and feeling..."
This reminded me of the ongoing discussion in "university training.."
string and the topic of "un-learning".
What Judy speaks about is one of the things I began to unlearn in my
work with Open Space 20 years ago... coming out of several decades of OD
work toiling with clean language.
I suspect that its been helpful for my work as an OST-worker both under
the heading of "one thing less to do" and attempting to let go of control.
I also suspect that the exhilerating experience of "liberation" - in the
position as OS-worker at the boundary of the system witnessing whats
happening - is the payoff.

there's something interesting happening that some of us might want to
join on september 9th. i don't think it's been mentioned here yet.
i first heard about "clean language" from harold shinsato. it seems
useful in our conversations with sponsors about invitations, to help us
work with their story in their own words. it'll be useful in other
settings, too, like coaching.
the event on the 9th is a 12-hour online gathering, i would say heavily
informed by open space or maybe it's an experimental online adaptation
of open space. but come for the topic, the ideas and practice, and the
learning, not for the process.
here are the links where you can check it out. i'm planning to
participate in the window that will be daytime in chicago.
what is the metaphorum online gathering?
