Read about the process a group of Leaders in Clean went through to arrive at four principles for when a person is ‘being clean’.

Lots of positive feedback from LinkedIn 👍Super Happy that 7Cs is getting traction on LinkedIn. A lovely coaching psychologist wrote the following: "Ever felt like two versions of you are in conflict?!
Last week I began coaching someone who doesn’t want the mental load of a new role right now, but also knows she’ll regret it if she stays.
In coaching psychology there’s a useful lens for this: multiplicity i.e. the idea that we’re not one fixed self but a team of selves that take the wheel in different contexts (research reference below).
What “multiplicity” means (plain English):
Different parts of you prioritise different values - rest, security, growth, impact. In certain contexts one part might be more dominant (e.g., “Protector” at home; “Striver” at work). Coaching can help them collaborate rather than compete.
If you’re torn right now, try any of these five micro-practices:
1) Name the pulls. “Part of me wants ###x; part of me wants yyyyyy”
2) Ask each what it protects, what its role is. “What are you trying to look after for me?”
3) Set a ‘for-now’ horizon. Decide who drives for the next two weeks, not forever.
4) Design a small experiment. One move that honours both parts (e.g., meet a recruiter AND ring-fence 'me time').
5) Do a quick review at the end of the week: What improved? What needs renegotiating?

Would you like to spend an hour with me learning to understand the basics of NLP, the skills, the presuppositions, how you can make change quickly and go away hugely informed, AND with a few experiential patterns to try out?
With your permission at the end I will tell you a bit about my accredited NLP training which will be run later in the year, but my focus and emphasis in this hour will be talking with you about NLP and giving you the opportunity to learn about NLP free of charge.
I am an Accredited Master Trainer in NLP, and LOVE sharing my knowledge and experience. As a Chartered Psychologist, I have written 2 books on NLP, 9 chapters on NLP, and countless academic papers on NLP...but my passion is in the DOING. Recently I used NLP modelling to get a bronze medal at the European Duathlon Championships and currently I am using NLP modelling to write my 3rd book on NLP. If you think such a discussion would be a worthwhile use of your time on an early Sunday afternoon, (1pm 17th August 2025), please send me an email to [email protected] or click on my calendy link with your email address and 7Cs workshop in the title, https://calendly.com/achieving-lives-ltd and I will send you a Zoom link. I am limiting the spaces to 20, (1st come 1st served), so as to provide time for questions and also to provide any demonstrations, should you wish to see some NLP in action. You can see a bit about my NLP training at www.7Cs.org.uk 😊
