Learning to use Metaphor Coaching will energize your coaching practice to help your clients evoke new perspectives and empower actions for change. Metaphors are at the core of our conversations, as research affirms that we use six metaphors every minute by drawing on past experiences to make sense of a situation. However, as we utilize metaphors, t... hey remain primarily implicit, influencing our perspective on how we see a problem and affecting our thinking, feelings, and actions. In response, Metaphor Coaching draws on evidence-based research and theories to shift a coaching client's frame of reference when encountering a situation for a new way of seeing reality and change in their state of being. The crucial features of Metaphor Coaching provide a framework that 'holds' both the conversation using metaphors and the coaching client in a safe space constructed through a series of questions that shift their implicit metaphor into a generative metaphor to envision their challenge differently to become a catalyst for change. Dr. Richard LeBoon, PhD, PCC, is a pioneering thought leader in coaching with metaphors to evoke generative change. Dr. LeBoon is a Metaphorologist integrating his doctoral research on metaphor theory and coaching practice outcomes with the knowledge of Organizational Dynamics and Change to create a generative methodology he coined "Metaphor Coaching."
