COACHING BELIEF CHANGE

Recently I was asked the following by a person new in Meta-Coaching: “Can you coach a person through a change of beliefs? Or do you have to use a formal Belief Change pattern? And if it is possible, how would you do that?”

I said, “Yes, of course.” Then later another coach who had been a Meta-Coach for over four years said that he was surprised at my answer and that he had been under the impression that the only way was to use the Meta-Yes pattern or a Mind-Line pattern or possibly Dilts’ Museum of Old Beliefs pattern. So being surprise at his surprise, I thought it be good to describe a way of conversationally coach a belief change without using a formal pattern.
