HOW DO YOU DECIDE ON WHEN TO RUN A PATTERN?

Rodrigo Santiago recently sent an email with a very important question about Meta-Coaching. He asked, “What is the right moment to run a pattern with a coaching client?” Then he noted that sometimes the coaching client simply doesn't know anything about patterns.

“Therefore, not knowing about patterns, they are actually blind to the possibility of asking a coach for them. They may have a goal and want to create a plan, but usually they do not ask for patterns. What then? How can I fit a pattern into a meta-coaching session?”

As a Neuro-Semantic trainer, as well as a Meta-Coach, Rodrigo wrote one of the first things that I would have written about — the fact that many of the patterns are actually built inside of some of the fundamental Meta-Coaching processes.

“The Intentionality pattern is built inside the WFO. The Belief Change pattern is sort of built inside the Quality Control questions that leads to Meta-Yes and/or Meta-No which then reinforce or diminish the power of a frame.”
