etaphorical thinking is fundamental to cognition, communication and our ‘narrative mind.’ This makes it a valuable tool for helping friends, family, colleagues and clients gain new perspectives on their lives. Using a metaphor is a helpful way of talking about emotional and relational experience.

The mind has the capacity to understand new ideas by relating them to concepts it is familiar with. Using metaphor has been a tradition in all the major schools of therapy and is a particularly helpful way of talking about emotional and relational experience. No amount of lectures, power points or vision and mission statements can so pithily and impressively convey what a story can. Each little story in this book will leave a definite imprint on your subconscious mind, changing the way you think and behave, spurring and inspiring you to greater heights. In addition to being a seasoned corporate professional who has risen from the grassroots to C-suite levels in a career spanning almost three decades, Rajesh Seshadri continues to don multiple hats – that of a coach, mentor, trainer, and therapist. His LinkedIn profile (https:// in.linkedin.com/in/rajeshseshadri) encapsulates his corporate career. The author has often relied on stories in coaching, training, and therapy and has found it immensely invaluable, even to the extent of using metaphor in corporate meetings and discussions. He says, “So often, I can feel the energy shift in the room as people take in the impact of what a simple poignant story can express. No amount of lectures, power points or vision and mission statements can so pithily and impressively convey what a story can.” Do you have a story you would like to share?
