WHAT IS META-MODEL COACHING?

If you’re going to use the Meta-Model in coaching, you have to know what it is. So, what is the Meta-Model? Short and simple it is a set of linguistic distinctions and questions. The distinctions identify particular kinds of semantic structures and the questions gives you a way to recapture the inner essence of meaning regarding what the person is trying to say. The distinction reveals a pattern in how the speaker is speaking. As you learn to recognize and identify that pattern, you now know what to ask to facilitate the meaning-making process. So to know, learn, and effectively use this model, simply think— distinction & question.
