Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 The interesting thing about metaprograms is that they can change depending upon context. So, how you are motivated in a work-related situation may be completely different to the way you are motivated when talking to your partner. For example, at work you may operate with an Options pattern - you are very comfortable with Choice. When you get home it may be that the last thing you want is anything to do with Choice. I am trained in reading people's metaprograms through conversational questions that are context-related. By listening to the words used in the answers I can determine the metaprograms that are running in that particular context. This can all be done over the phone. So, if this is something that would be useful to you contact me off list esleight. I have used profiling to help with problems in mis-communication in offices due to differences in metaprogams. It is also of great value when analyzing teams of people in order to identify the person with the best metaprograms for a task or position. Doc uses metaprograms to write his ads. You can do the same thing to write an ad for a new employee by identifying the metaprograms best suited for the position and then using the correct language to attract a person who operates with these patterns. Fascinating stuff. I also recently used metaprograms when giving my talk on Bowen to the group of race walkers. There are default patterns that are " assumed " when making a presentation that will engage them and prevent them from going " macho " (who the hell are you to tell me what to do with MY business!!!).

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Elizabeth and ALL, Something else to consider Meta-Programs are on a continuum Options to Procedural. Global to specific, etc. and they do change from context to context. Stocking in his VIP (Very Important Patterns) work deals with what I termed Meta-Mask they are meta-programs behind meta-programs that run other programs and they do not change until we move out/in the ring we are living on at the time. The encouragement is to play with as many meta-patterns/programs as possible so you are more flexible with any and all of them. Thank You, Dr. Houston Vetter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
