InsideClean

In the first two workshops we explored how to model a client’s information and how to calibrate their responses. Our third workshop will cover how to deliver your questions so they have maximum ‘oomph’.

David Grove said “Clean questions have an 'oomph factor' which enhances psychoactivity and distinguishes them from other questions.” How we deliver our questions can increase or diminish the oomph factor.

Questions with oomph engage a client’s attention and then invite them to go on a quest for self-knowledge. The way you deliver your questions helps the client to create experience, right then and there. It facilitates them to access an inner world populated by meaningful symbols. Questions with oomph help stabilise attention, enliven relationships between symbols and shine light into unexplored corners. They can reverberate around a client’s system for days, weeks or even years.

To maximise oomph as a facilitator you need to become aware of how you use you voice and your body, and how your choice of words invite clients to create the kinds of experiences that generate new perspectives, creative solutions and emergent knowledge.

We’ve discovered that oomph depends on six key factors which we’ll illustrate during the workshop with real-life examples.

And oomph doesn’t only operate in a coaching or therapeutic setting, it makes a difference in everyday, conversational clean questions too. 

During the third online live workshop we will delve into the factors that make a difference to how you ask questions. And you’ll also get to practice these skills.
