Clean Language and Becoming Drama Free with Caitlin Walker

Dr Caitlin Walker has over 30 years of facilitating diverse groups to work effectively together. She's an expert in clean language interviewing and the developer of Systemic Modelling, an approach for creating intelligent self-organising teams. She's author of two books, From Contempt to Curiosity, creating the conditions for groups to collaborate and So, you want to be DramaFree.

Caitlin’s Clean Language approach is a very practical and learnable way to help a system understand itself, whether it’s the system of one person or a team. This resonates deeply with the Cognitive Science ideas we’ve been exploring in Agile On The Mind, and so I had a great time chatting with Caitlin about her work.
