THE HEART OF THINGS

Question: Why do so many Meta-Coaches find it difficult to get to the heart of things with your client? If there’s any constant theme in Neuro-Semantics and in Meta-Coaching, it is that we are the people who get to the heart of things. We do not stay at the ground level of behaviors or circumstances, we go deeper with our clients. We go in. We take our clients and customers into their secret places— their mind, that is, their Meta Place where they create meaning.

Now why do we do this? Because of what is at the heart of things—meaning. And because each person creates his own unique meanings, you never know what you’re going to find. And for that matter, what’s amazing is that most clients are equally surprised as to what they find inside. Now when that happens, what does that mean? It means that they were living their lives unconsciously. It also means that some old unconscious meanings have been running the show and that they have not actually been “running their own brains.” It means that they have been programmed and were unaware of it.
