“The human species thinks in metaphors, and learns through stories.”
Mary Catherine Bateson

Metaphors are a crucial part of the language of leadership, yet few of us use them deliberately.

That’s why metaphors give you superpowers of persuasion. In this podcast, I want to give you the blueprint to the language of leadership and how to build metaphors with intention.
