Metaphors

Virtual Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programme

Programme Outline

In Mastering Metaphor in Coaching, we explore the world of metaphors and how they can be used to share understanding and evoke awareness within a coaching relationship. Together, we’ll realise that not only are we surrounded by them, but they’re also a rich source of inquiry with our clients. We will throw back the lid on the toolbox and thoroughly rummage around before diving in and exploring the depth and richness they can create for our clients. From there, we’ll elevate their usage to a whole new level. Are you ready to climb aboard and join this voyage of discovery?

Programme Objectives

  • Deepen your ability to recognise and tune into your client’s metaphors.

  • Understand when they might be helpful within a coaching session.

  • Explore how to start working with metaphors.

  • Learn about the power of Clean Language as a way to invite clients to expand their metaphors.

Programme Format

This is a virtual interactive 3-hour session.
