Professional speaker Anne Miller suggests these ways to improve your metaphor abilities:
- Take notice of what is going on around you and connect that to metaphors
- Be aware of well-known areas of interest that require specific skills (e.g., baseball, bowling, etc.)
- Create a file of good metaphors you see in print or hear from someone
