NLP Metaprograms NLP Metaprograms (or Meta-programs, or Metaprogrammes) are the keys to the way a person processes information, which is why they are important. They are internal patterns that help determine how we form our and direct our behaviours, the internal programs we use in deciding what we pay attention to. NLP Metaprograms are unconscious processes.

Meta-programs and values form a major part of our, you can train with us live, or online via our centre. From Tad James – Timeline Therapy And The Basis of Personality. External behaviour – Introvert/Extrovert The question to elicit this meta-program is – “When it’s time to recharge your batteries, do you prefer to be alone or with people?” Uses – In business – recruitment – to suit the role. In therapy – to help couples understand how they re-energise most effectively. Internal Processes – Intuitor/Sensor Question “If you were going to study a certain subject, would you be more interested solely in the facts and their application for the now, or would you be more interested in the ideas and relationships between the facts and their application for the future?” Uses – Therapy – to enable people to communicate more effectively, at the same chunk level. Business – In recruitment to ensure that you get the right personality for the role, help future retention levels.

Internal State – Thinker/Feeler Question – “When you make a decision do you rely more on impersonal reason and logic, or more on personal values?” Uses – Business – to align board members to company. Therapy – to help people to deal with resistance to past events and move on. Adaptive Response – Judger/Perceiver Question “If we were going to do a project together, would you prefer that it were outlined, planned and orderly or would you prefer that we were able to be more flexible in the project?” Uses – Business – to enable you to manage someone more effectively.

Therapy – To aid couple in understanding others actions. Direction Filter – Toward/Away From Question “What do you want in a job?” Uses – Business – to set effective bonus/disciplinary schemes in managing people. Therapy – to enable better goal setting Reason (or modal operator) Filter – Possibility/Necessity Question “Why did you choose your present job?” Uses – Business – Again helps to enable manager to manage to persons stengths, build rapport. Therapy – To relieve stress Frame Of Reference Filter Question “How do you know when you have done a good job?

Do you just know inside, or does someone have to tell you?” Uses – Business – Help managers know how often praise may be required. Education – to judge whether a person is learning appropriately. Action Filter Question “When you come into a situation, do you usually act quickly after sizing it up or do you do a detailed study of all the consequences and then act?” Uses – Business – Helps in recruiting in sales.

All NLP meta-programs are context-and stress-related; There are two ways to change NLP meta-programs. One is from a significant emotional event. The other way you can change is by consciously deciding to do so. Use NLP meta-programs on two levels. The first is a tool to calibrate and guide your communication with others.

Therapy – Possibly can help people to move from Effect to Cause. Affiliation Filter Question “Tell me about a work situation (or environment) in which you were the happiest, a one time event.” Uses – Business – Helps with tasking. Business – Helps identify management potential.

Primary Interest Filter – People, place, things, activity, information. Question – “Tell me about your favourite restaurant.

Tell me about one of the top ten experiences in your life.” Uses – Business – For Recruitment again. Business – Managing people to ensure boredom thresholds are not reached, helps retention.

NLP Metaprograms and Strategies Metaprograms determine how we do our strategies. Meta-programs are one way a person processes information, strategies are another.

Meta-programs determine how we form our internal representations, strategies are the sequencing of the internal representations in order to get an end. Read more about.

The development of NLP Meta Programs are part of ‘Neuro-Linguistic Programming’. NLP was developed from the late seventies in the USA by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. NLP is a model for studying and transforming subjective experience. When formulating NLP, Bandler and Grinder borrowed concepts from. Fritz Perls’ Gestalt Therapy.

Milton H. Erickson’s Hypnotherapy.

Meta Programs Nlp

Gregory Bateson’s ideas about human evolution Development of the Meta Program concept Sequences of sensory responses (‘inner strategies’) were originally referred to in NLP as ‘programming’. Sometimes patterns common to several different mental strategies were used in NLP change work. These distinctions were ‘meta’ in relation to mental programs, hence the name ‘ Meta Program’. They were first inventoried and described in 1985 by Cameron-Bandler. List of Meta Programs measured in MindSonar If you want to see examples of these patterns in famous quotes,.

Meta Programs set 1: Proactive versus Reactive Proactive = a preference for acting quickly and taking the initiative. Reactive = a preference for waiting, considering, and reflecting. Meta Programs set 2: Towards versus Away from Towards = a focus on achieving goals Away From = a focus on avoiding problems. Meta Programs set 3: Internal Reference versus External Reference Internal Reference = using one’s own standards in evaluations. External Reference = using other people’s standards in evaluations. Meta Programs set 4: Options versus Procedure Options = a preference for many different possibilities. Procedure = a preference for step-by-step planning.

Meta Programs set 5: General versus Specific General = a focus on the broad overview Specific = a focus on the small details. Meta Programs set 6: Matching versus Mismatching Matching = a focus on what is good and correct. Mismatching = a focus on what is bad and incorrect).

Meta Programs set 7: Internal locus of control versus External locus of control Internal locus of control = a focus on how someone influences their circumstances) versus External locus of control (focus on how someone’s circumstances influence them). Meta Programs set 8: Maintenance versus Development versus Change Maintenance = a preference for things staying the same. Development = a preference for gradual change. Change = a preference for fast and radical change.

Note: In many overviews of Meta Programs, the desire for stability or sameness versus change or difference is assumed to coincide with its perception. Someone with a desire for change is thought to also perceive more change.

However, these two preferences might not reflect the same Meta Programs. People often desire change precisely because they do not perceive enough change and often desire stability when they perceive too much change. We have therefore chosen in MindSonar to focus this set of Meta Programs on the desire for—and not the perception of—stability or change.

Meta Programs set 9: People versus Activity versus Information People = a focus on people and what moves them Activities = a focus on activities being done Information = focus on information; facts and figures. Meta Programs set 10: Concept versus Structure versus Use Concept = a focus on essentials and principles. Structure = a focus on relationships between elements. Use = a focus on practical applications. Meta Programs set 11: Together versus Proximity versus Solo Together = a preference for working closely together with shared responsibilit. Proximity = a preference for mutual support with individual responsibility.

Solo = a preference for working alone). Meta Programs set 12: Past versus Present versus Future Past = a focus on past events. Present = a focus on the “here and now”. Future = a focus on future events. Distinctions set 13: Visual versus Auditory versus Kinesthetic Visual = a focus on images and movies.

Auditory = focus on sounds and words. Kinesthetic = focus on feelings and movement.

What Is A Meta Programs Nlp

Note: These last three distinctions are sensory modalities rather than meta-programs. They are measured together with the meta-programs for the sake of convenience. Definition of the word Meta Program Meta Programs are patterns that can be observed in someone’s verbal and nonverbal expressions. Meta Programs determine behaviour, feeling states and emotions. Synonyms for ‘Meta Programs’ are:.

Thinking style elements. Cognitive-perceptual preferences.

Cognitive style elements. Ways of thinking. Thinking, perceiving, feeling and doing There is an dynamic relationship between thinking (Meta Programs and Graves Drives), perception, feeling and behaviour. Interaction with perceptual filters Meta Programs plus Graves Drives determine perceptual filters (the things someone does or does not notice) and the other way around. For example: someone’s Meta Program is ‘Procedure’, so when he looks at a bookcase he immediately notices a shelf with manuals (procedural information). If the Meta Program ‘Options’ had predominated, he probably wouldn’t have noticed these manuals.

Interaction with mood and emotion Meta Programs plus Graves Drives affect mood and emotion and vice versa. For example: someone is working with a particular appliance and is focused on procedure. They encounter a problem.

They feel frustrated. Then they notice the manual on the bookshelf. They start to feel better: “Ah, there’s the solution!”. Interaction with behaviour Meta Programs plus Graves Drives plus emotions, together affect behaviour, and vice versa. In the same example: they see the manual. Because they are focusing on procedures, a manual with lots of procedures makes them feel better.

They take it off the shelf and start reading (behaviour). They figure out how to solve the problem. Now they feel satisfied. At the same time this emotion reinforces their Meta Program (procedure) and their Graves Drives (blue for ‘doing things as they ought to be done’ and orange for ‘being successful and winning’). MindSonar is a new kind of psychological measurement. It measures how people think (their NLP Meta Programs) and what they find important (their Graves Motivational Drives). This, in turn, determines how they feel, what they notice, what they ignore and how the behave.

MindSonar is the first contextual measurement: it assumes that people will have different thinking styles in different situations, and that people can change they way they think. MindSonar is used worldwide by consultants, trainers and coaches in many different organizations.
