This Moved Me

087: Paul Tomes - On the Power of the Metaphor


Listen Later

Paul is back! This it the third time I’ve had Paul on the show with me, because… well, I love to listen to Paul talk. :) And, because he has wonderful stories to tell and ideas to share with us! He sent me an email a few weeks back and shared a story with me – and I thought – there is so much good stuff in here, we gotta share it with my movers (that’s you!). So, sit back, take a listen – and enjoy a story by Paul about the power of the metaphor in moving your audience.

Today's show is all about a story that Paul shares of a coaching moment with one of Paul's speakers. This story was inspired by the movie As It Is in Heaven - a Swedish film from 2004 that moved Paul greatly.  And then, he used the inspiration from that movie to create an inspiring moment for a speaker.
