Lyssa deHart, MCC presents:

Playing with the Power of Metaphors

This webinar is approved for 1.0 CC and 1.0 RD CCE's

This engaging webinar will help you uncover the power of metaphors in your coaching conversations. Metaphors are deeply woven into our daily conversations, often ignored if not obvious. Explore how visual language impacts your clients. John Geary said, "We instinctively resort to metaphors when describing anything abstract: ideas, feelings, thoughts, emotions, concepts." Dive into the neuroscience of metaphors and comprehend how they illuminate our minds. Metaphors not only enhance our self-expression but also serve as potent tools for instigating outcomes, navigating complexities, and fostering profound transformations. Humans don't use metaphors accidentally. Metaphors introduced by your clients can serve as powerful keys, unlocking their self-awareness and inner potential. You can facilitate more meaningful and impactful conversations by mastering the art of using your clients' metaphors rather than interjecting your own. Join us on a journey into the power of metaphors today!
