Session Description:

Metaphors are all around us; they flow through the daily rhythm of our conversations. Unless they are wildly apparent, we may miss them. Join this fun webinar and learn the power of this visual language and how you can use it for significant impact in your coaching. John Geary said, “Whenever we describe anything abstract: ideas, feelings, thoughts, emotions, concepts, we instinctively resort to metaphors.”


Discover the neuroscience of metaphors. Metaphors light up the brain of the person who uses them. Metaphors can be used to create agreements, explore outcomes, give clarity of distance, and support profound transformation. Tuning our ears to metaphors allows us to be the novice in our clients’ expert experience of their life. It allows us to be in full partnership with our clients and leverage their neurocircuitry in our coaching conversations.


Come join us and discover how to recognize the essential metaphors that your client brings into the coaching space. Then play with ways to leverage their insights as well as demonstrate the ICF Core Competencies. A worksheet will be provided.


Key Takeaways:

  • Painting Ideas with Words; Metaphors are Idea Containers
  • Our Brain on Metaphors.
  • Recognizing metaphors in coaching conversations to create greater awareness, anchor insights, as well as using them to create agreements and move from topic to success measures, all the while evoking awareness.
