Metaphors in careers work
What are your favourite metaphors/similes you’ve seen in your work? Metaphors can be great inspiration for creative practice.
The one that sticks in my mind most is the Sir Dominic Cadbury’s crazy paving quote - I heard it whilst at uni and it was the first time for me that it ‘clicked’ that I wouldn’t get away with passively waiting for a ‘career’ to fall at my feet!

Wanting to stay at break is the best kind of feedback - amazing stuff!
And client led metaphors… 😍 I love the glue gun one in particular. As well as the sticky mess route, I’ve seen clients who are too afraid to pick up the glue gun as they don’t feel they know how to use it, those who see its effects as too permanent… thanks for sharing!
