How often do you stop and listen to the words you use to describe your own life? We all live inside stories: some we chose, others we inherited, and many we wrote in survival mode without realizing it. These stories show up not in grand declarations but in the quiet metaphors of everyday speech: the walls we hit, the weight we carry, the paths we can't find. Far from being mere figures of speech, neuroscience shows that these metaphors are neurological signposts, they reflect how the brain makes meaning of experience and quietly shape our identity, emotions, and sense of what's possible. If that's true, then learning to hear your own metaphors is one of the most powerful things you can do for your life. Author of StoryJacking and Light Up: The Science of Coaching with Metaphors, Lyssa deHart is a Master Certified Coach and clinical social worker with over 25,000 hours of deep listening. In this session, she draws on neuroscience, narrative psychology, and decades of practice to show how the language you use every day scripts your choices and relationships in ways you don't see. You'll learn to slow down and notice the metaphors running beneath your everyday speech, and discover how shifting even one image can change how you feel, what you believe is possible, and how you relate to the people around you. You'll leave with practical tools to catch the stories you're telling yourself, rewrite the ones that no longer serve you, and embrace the lifelong journey of crafting a story worth living.

Gifted kids are like Ferraris: brilliant, powerful, and wired differently. But when every parenting book hands you advice designed for a Toyota, things keep breaking down.
