MORE IMPLIED META-PROGRAMS

This continues an examination of the Well-Formed Outcome questions for the meta-programs that are implied within them or required for a person to answer them.

#8. Can you initiate these behaviors? Are the actions intrinsic to you and within your control? Again, this will highlight Authority (#23), Responsibility (#53). Further because this is a yes/no question, it elicits like many of the previous questions, the person’s style of Decision Making (#47, cautious/ bold), her speed (#18, deliberate and slow/ quick and witty).

#9. Can you do these actions? Do you have the ability and competency to do it? With this question your inquiry is about your client’s capacity to do something. That will elicit the meta-program #50 Self-Confidence (low/high), Responsibility (#53), and Authority (#23). Implied also here is the Convincer meta-programs (#19 and #34). And because of that you can follow-up with a question about being convinced, “How convinced are you that you can do that?”
