[OSList] metaphorum: a clean language one-day online gathering

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

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.
