MOTIVATION DIRECTION META-PROGRAM

When it comes to coaching, motivation is one of the big issue. Lots of clients want to have more motivation. “How can I be more motivated?” Other clients don’t understand what’s killing their motivation. “I just can’t get myself excited about X. What can I do?” Other clients want to know how to motivate others. “How can I get my staff more motivated?” “How can I get my lazy son motivated to study?”

Now we say in Neuro-Semantics, There is no such thing as a motivation problem, there is only an intention problem. This theme has arisen from several considerations. One is that “motives” are functions of intentions. If you don’t have the intention to do something, why would you think you would be motivated toward it in the first place? Once you have a goal and intention for something, then what will “move” you toward it depends on the richness of the meanings you attribute to it and the vitality that you maintain in your mind-body-emotion system.
