Metaphor is a description of life patterns, experiences or circumstances which uses unrelated examples to convey the message. Fairy tales, stories, poems and corporate mission statements are well known examples of metaphoric communication.
John Grinder is most notably recognised as the co-creator of Nuro-Linguistic Programming or NLP, universally regarded as the leading edge methodology in the study of human thinking and behavioural patterns.
Carmen is Managing Director of Quantum Leap, an international organisation dealing with the design and implementation of cross cultural communication systems.

Metaphor is an integral part of the New Code of NLP. It provides a framework for initiating change and developing competencies through stories, activities and examples that have little, on the surface, to do with the matter in hand. This apparent distraction enables us to transmit ideas and invite new associations in mind, which may seem counter-intuitive until they become live experience. Apart from its extensive history in cultural and mythical stories, and its widespread use in entertainment, metaphor has a function in initiating and maintaining organizational change. Metaphor composition and use is becoming a desirable skill set in change management circles, as organizations discover that not only does its use reduce resistance to change, its implementation can be an extremely engaging and memorable process. John Grinder and Carmen Bostic have been using metaphor in the corporate arena for many years, both in verbal and non-verbal, or “living metaphor” forms. Their stories of the metaphors they have invented, and the amazing and lasting results achieved, command the listeners’ attention while providing metaphoric instruction in doing something equally worth while. In this seminar, we shall learn:
