Metasourcing

Fellow speaker,

Professional speaker Anne Miller suggests there are different sources for metaphors:

  • Images - "Our data center is a solid brick wall"
  • Living and breathing (person or animal) - "This antivirus program is like a snarling doberman"
  • Familiar product - "We are the Porsche of supermarkets"

Sourcing,
