Author: Margaret Parkin
Using Stories and Metaphors to Facilitate Learning.
A lively introduction to the use of stories, anecdotes, metaphors and poetry in training. Echoing the successful story-based approach of ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’ etc, the author also provides 50 tales that will help trainers to reinforce key training aims. With a detailed matrix showing which tales trainers should use in a variety of types of training session - communication, leadership, problem solving, dealing with change etc. - the tales themselves range from ones the author has written herself to sections from literature that work brilliantly within the training environment.
