Using imagery and metaphors

Published by Jackie Barrie on

I spoke to Angela Dellar about using imagery, metaphors and storytelling in your presentations, to help leaders and teams to ‘pull together’.

Among other things, we discussed:

  • How to get senior people involved in childlike/playful activities
  • Making it safe and fun for peopler to engage, by meeting their psychological needs
  • Gentle ways of getting different types of people to participate
  • Group dynamics: Inclusion, control, open-ness
  • How the ‘snowball fight’ (page 30) helps avoid ‘creeping death’ round-the-table introductions

We also name-checked David Gouthro, Lee Warren, Simon Raybould and Stuart Harris.
