He discusses how he subtly integrates clean language into conversations with clients to enhance communication and understanding. By using metaphors like whitewater rafting, Chris helps teams visualize and tackle challenges effectively.
Chris elaborates on Trebuchet Group's mission to break down barriers and foster collaboration within organizations. They focus on leadership development, team-building, and creating clarity around goals. Clean language has become part of this process, allowing teams to quickly unpack and address issues without drama.
