WHY YOU SHOULD MEMORIZE THE META-MODEL QUESTIONS

Last week I sent out a list of 18 Meta-Model Questions with the suggestion that you memorized these! I also sent that list to the Trainers egroup and recommended that every Neuro-Semantic and Modular Trainer who are teaching Coaching Essentials (or NLP Prac.) should train the Meta- Model in a way that people begin by memorizing the list. In that way, they can begin to get the Meta-Model fully integrated into their thinking and their coaching conversations.

The failure to thoroughly learn the Meta-Model as the basic NLP Communication Model is one of the biggest challenges we have in getting coaches prepared for the PCMC level. It is also the biggest problem we have in helping people become truly professional in their communication skills. As I wrote in the book on the Meta-Model, Communication Magic (1997/ 2001), the Meta- Model is the key to everything in NLP. And if you do not thoroughly know it, you do not understand very much about NLP. Whatever NLP pattern that you love and use regularly is a result of the Meta-Model. Why then should you memorize the Meta-Model Questions?
