Penny Tompkins & James Lawley
Penny and James are co-developers of Symbolic Modelling and leading authorities on the use of David Grove’s Clean Language and self-generated metaphor for personal and professional development.
They are married and based in London where they run The Developing Company. For the last 30 years they have dedicated themselves to developing the developers of others. Their expertise is to facilitate people to see the repeating patterns in their lives, to recognise how these patterns can change, and to trust what emerges.
Their book, Metaphors in Mind was the first comprehensive guide to Symbolic Modelling and Clean Language which they also introduce in an Introductory Online Course. James co-authored with Marian Way, Insights in Space, the first book dedicated to Clean Space, and his latest book is the co-edited, Clean Language Interviewing.
Penny & James have made 200 of their articles and blogs freely available at cleanlanguage.com.
