Some great examples… and they don’t sound forced or old fashioned.
The best metaphors are the ones you hear and believe, but don’t notice that they are metaphors.

This article is a great reminder about how important metaphor is in human thought in general, and public speaking in particular. Most of us reason by analogy and metaphor; it’s the way we typically take on board a new idea (“oh, that’s like X, which I’ve seen before”). Because it’s hard to take in new information via a speech, metaphors and analogies are good ways to help the audience understand what you’re talking about. Of course, metaphors and analogies are by definition imperfect — things are not usually exactly like each other — and so we have to respect the limits of metaphor as well. But as an aid to understanding, they are essential.
