I use stories and metaphors a lot in training. I train groups of staff and
managers in a large UK hospital in subjects such as computer skills,
customer care, management and so on.
A good story (about another group of staff/managers) told in an enthralling
way can captivate people and start them creating all sorts of internal
representations (this is trance, isn't it!!?). Examples and stories can be
used in almost any setting.
Listening to a story or a metaphor is a personal experience, it doesn't
matter if the person is sitting alone with the story teller or in a group
of many other people, each will create their own representations. A
powerful and compelling story will move them and create for them an
experience from which they can learn.
