Episode 03: Journey to Level 1 with Jackie Lawlor

For our third episode of Clean@Work, we explore what it takes to become a level, one systemic modelling facilitator.  Sarah will facilitate the session, starting by asking about our journeys and how we got into systemic modelling? And what difference it has made to how we show up?   Finally, for those on the journey, we will share our thoughts and tips on how to get through what must be one of the most challenging certifications in the world. Facilitated by Sarah Baca Sarah is a leader, speaker, and writer who believes that the only way we can get work done is through relationships. Passionate about growing cultures where it is safe to mess up (aka innovate), Sarah has been leading teams for over a decade. She believes that holistic and systemic growth can happen for individuals and their organisations when people are attracted to a shared irresistible future.  Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahjbaca/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sarahndipity03 Not so Special Guest: John Barratt John is the only agile coach to achieve the much more challenging than it sounds Systemic Modelling Level 1 certification.

Jackie currently incorporates Clean Language into all her training and coaching which is cross-sector, and is most proud of training the entire professional development team and specialist nurses in Organ Donation at NHS Blood and Transplant in Clean Language, so that they are even more flexible, respectful and responsive when having very sensitive conversations about organ donations. Clean language is now embedded into training at NHS BT from induction to medical simulations, and it has made a real difference to the confidence of the nurses who use it. Jackie came to Clean Language in approx. 2013, as part of an NLP course, when doing a modelling project? Jackie initially thought the questions were ridiculous! It was only when using the questions to model exemplars for her desired outcome that she realized the difference the questions were making. She was able to model the front of mind-stuff and also the out of awareness information the exemplar didn’t know about what they did. Jackie was hooked! Learning initially with Judy Rees, and as a passionate experiential and action learner who loves fast feedback loops, she practised intensely with peer learners clocking up 100 Clean Language coaching hours within a few months of starting the learning. As Jackie got more experienced, she began teaching Clean Language as a stand-alone subject or as part of coaching and other courses and presenting workshops at conferences for Health Education England in the West Midlands, Later, West Midlands Leadership Academy. On her journey, Jackie has learned from many key masters in this field, some of whom worked directly with David Grove, (the source of this wonderful methodology), Caitlin Walker, Marian Way, James Lawley and Penny Tomkins. She is a regular contributor at Metaphorum, and in the Systemic Modelling community, both of which celebrate all things Clean.  Well known now in the Clean Community as a great collaborator, supporter and advocate of Clean Language, Jackie is Accredited to Level 1 ( broadly equivalent to ILM Level 7), in Caitlin Walkers Systemic Modelling (Clean For Teams) which is driven by Clean Language. and has additionally spent five days learning Clean Space. Jackie incorporates Clean Language into her whole life.
