Explore the use of the mountain/river metaphor with me.

It can help so much in relationships and communication.

There are times when mountain communication is called for.

It’s when we need to be strong, confident, clear, concise and show integrity.

Mountain communicators make the point with clarity, confidence and knowledge, never aggression.

For mountains always have rivers and streams running across their craggy exposure. It has a softening effect.

Next week: the river metaphor.
