THE ART OF USING META-QUESTIONS

You cannot truly coach without asking meta-questions— and you certainly cannot perform as a skilled Meta-Coach without the ability to use meta-questions effectively. A meta-question stands in contrast with a primary question. A primary question grounds a subject in reality — what, where, when, with whom, and how. It indexes time, space, and person of an experience. By contrast a meta-question takes a person from the outside to the inside. It requires a reflection of one’s experience and on oneself as you create that first primary experience. Yet meta-questions are more than just questions about questions, they are s so much more. In Neuro-Semantics and Meta- Coaching, we have identified 10 basic meta-questions that will take you just about anywhere with anyone.

Given this, how then do you do it? How do you use meta-questions and learn the art?
