Marian Way

Marian started her career as a maths teacher and later worked in Weight Watchers - as a group facilitator, a trainer, and finally as Programme Development Manager of Weight Watchers UK, where she and a colleague developed the POINTS diet. She went on to work as a consultant to the organisation in the UK and the USA.

A skilled facilitator and trainer, Marian has developed and delivered training programmes which have benefited thousands of people across the world. She has personally delivered trainings in England, Northern Ireland, the USA, Spain and Russia. She also works with individuals and groups to enable them to achieve their goals. She is an NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer who specialises in applications based on Clean Language, which involves paying exquisite attention to people and the language they use to express their ideas. She also facilitates very large group discussions, using the "World Cafe" model.

"I heartily support Marian Way to train Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling. She is a highly experienced facilitator and an adept modeller. She has used metaphor and Clean Language therapeutically as well as in business and consultancy. This represents an admirable range of skills in a wide variety of contexts."
James Lawley, co-developer of Symbolic Modelling and leading authority on the use of self-originated metaphor for personal and professional development.

"Marian's insight into this process is so well timed, so precise, and so insightful. It's amazing to watch and amazing to be on the receiving end of."

"Marian is an excellent trainer! The process of learning Clean Language & Symbolic Modelling was logical, systematic and delightful – like a metaphor landscape!"
Bev Martin, Therapist and NLP Trainer

"Just as we learned ways to demonstrate exquisite respect for a client by attending carefully to their language and metaphor descriptions, so Marian demonstrated the highest degree of respect for all participants."
Lynn Reer, PhD, Teacher Trainer

"Marian has a magic in teaching the process of Clean Language & Symbolic Modelling. I was able to glean the logic and flexibility of the process. It was dynamic and fun."
Sharon Small, Coach

"Embodying training is a real art and Marian achieved that – moving intellectual knowledge into a powerful, living, energizing experience."
Viv Bolton, Coach

"I think it’s amazing how you and Clean Language, in 90 minutes, can do more than months of counselling (which I'm not keen on anyway) could achieve. You didn't bring in any element of your reaction to anything I said... so I felt extremely comfortable all through the session, knowing that (whatever you might have been thinking) I didn't have to see/hear/deal with your thoughts or reactions to anything I was saying!"
