When used correctly, metaphors can be powerful and transferable tools for our clients. From clarifying, to illustrating, or to providing context, metaphors are this rare tool that can help shift things around between us and our clients.
Metaphors can allow for difficult conversations to be had in a way that reduces any possible defensiveness and that allows for ongoing exploration. And, as we learn how to best use metaphors, we become more able to decipher what our clients are really communicating, as well as what they are not truly saying. We can also learn how to best help them unpack their own metaphors to get to the root of what may be going on.
But how is all of this possible? Join us and find out.
