In this episode, Michelle Henderson interviews Alison Smith, a coach and author, about her journey and her use of metaphors in coaching. Alison explains that her inspiration to become a coach came after her husband left her and she realized there was more to life than she had previously thought. She began studying neurolinguistic programming and other techniques, eventually discovering the power of metaphor in helping people understand and overcome their challenges. Alison also discusses her book, "Can't See the Wood for the Trees," which guides readers through the process of using metaphors to explore their stuckness and find solutions. She also talks about her podcast, "Landscaping Your Life," where she takes listeners on a journey in nature to explore different metaphors and gain insights. Alison emphasizes the importance of patience and the idea that storms will pass, just like in nature. She prefers texting over talking on the phone because it allows for quick communication and scheduling. Alison can be reached on LinkedIn and through her podcast.
