Metaphors for facilitation
As facilitators, it's worth sitting with the concept of "metaphors" and how to best use them in our sessions.
Why?
They are great avenues to emotionally engage participants by connecting abstract ideas to concrete, relatable experiences. And the benefits don't stop here! 💪
Metaphors help boost cognitive flexibility, promote metacognition, encourage playful exploration that feels safe, help reduce resistance to change, and often facilitate perspective shifts. 🧠
In this session, Harshit will share his insights gained from orchestrating numerous sessions where art and metaphors served as the catalyst for meaningful conversations.
