Send us a textThe Not-So-Subtle Art of ComplainingMost of us complain, but is it good or bad? What makes it productive or toxic?Overview of what will be covered:  Common language patterns of complainingThe benefits and downsides of complainingHow to shift from chronic complaining  The Language of Complaints This was discovered by using AI to analyze posts on a social media platform that contained complaints. We then used the NLP Meta Model pattern to refine the search and find the 8 most common language patterns in complaints. Four of the most common patterns fit into the Meta Model, and AI discovered four patterns that are unique to complaining.Discuss the top 8 common language patterns of complaining​: Negative Personal Attribution (e.g., “He's rude,” “They're such idiots.”) Lost Evaluator or Lost Performative Absolute Overgeneralization – Never, Always, Nothing, etc. (“They never listen”) Universal Quantifier Modal Operators – Can't, Should, Need to (“She should know better.”) Cause/Effect Statements (“Because they lied, I'm mad,” “He's late again, so it's pointless now.”)Rhetorical Venting Questions - Why and How (“Why are people so annoying?”)Hyperbolic Adverbs – Totally, Absolutely, Completely (“This is totally unfair”)“Keeps” Phrases - (“She keeps yelling.”  “This keeps happening.”)Sarcasm - “Thanks/Good Job” (“Oh, great job!”) Recognizing these patterns can help us avoid chronic complaining, lessen its negative impact on ourselves, or better understand how to deal with people who complain to us.The Positive Side of Complaining Exploring how complaining can be beneficial​:One of the NLP presuppositions is “All behavior is useful in some context.”  When does complaining serve a useful purpose? The Dark Side of Complaining Strategies to Overcome Chronic Complaining in Ourselves Key Takeaways:Complaining isn't inherently bad—it depends on the purpose and frequency.Recognizing language patterns can help us become more mindful of our complaints.Finding balance is key - venting is okay, but chronic negativity is damaging.Practical ways to shift from unhelpful complaining to productive problem-solving. Support the show

Here is my prescription for a happy holiday if not a tolerable one… Set an outcome to have fun and enjoy the holidays.  Get plenty of rest  Sugar and alcohol place a huge strain on your biological system.  Taking care of yourself might also include meditation and prayer.  And exercise – even a walk every day or every other day brings positive benefits.  Another issue connected to taking care of yourself is setting boundaries: Boundary lesson: Say no when you can say no. it seems that so many people and companies cram into 24 days of December gatherings and parties. Be judicious about which ones you attend. People spend a lot of money…. Determine and manage a budget for spending. It is so easy to say, “Oh, I'll deal with my credit cards next year.”  But next year is closer than you think and amassing a large debt can put you into high stress. You can do a conflict resolution with yourself to resolve the pull between what you want to spend and what would be prudent.Big challenge dealing with family membersIgnoring them won't necessarily make them disappear.  Here are some strategies I've used over the yearsa.               Do anchoring and attach the person to something you love or a resource that gives you better state management and grace.

NLP developed two language model super valuable in Coaching. One is the Meta Model, that we've talked about in previous episodes. The other is the Milton Model. Today we'll explore them both and give you some guidelines as to when, where, why, and how to use one versus the other.

In today's episode we examine NLP's "Meta Model" (the art of asking good questions). We learn a few choice "Meta Model" questions and how important it is to utilize this questioning technique from NLP to get a more complete understanding of where our clients are coming from and what they want.

The One Question That Just Works   If you ever feel like an imposter, un-worthy, not good enough, I can't do this and I think we all have at some point in our lives, maybe even right now then I have the perfect answer in the form of a question. A question that when you feel that way changes everything and gets you to see things as they really are. This comes from a language pattern of NLP known as the Meta Model and is so simple, we love simple, which gets you explore and find the answer - no more generalizations where nothing is learned. This works so well on ourselves, especially when we're thinking or saying to ourselves I can't do it I don't Belong here They're out to get me I'm stupid And the answers, the Real Answers!, take you from that doubt to empowerment and moving towards what you want, desire and dream of.

Do you often find yourself drifting off after only a few minutes in a Zoom meeting?Why?Most likely it's because we're not emotionally engaged at an optimum level. And when it comes to group meetings, it's often due to the Ringelmann Effect. Ringelmann proved that there's an inverse relationship between the size of the group and the size of each group members' individual contribution. So if we feel we aren't, or can't, truly make a difference, why emotionally engage?And if we don't have “skin in the game” it's easy to slide into checking our email, web surfing, or planning our weekend.Get The Most From Your Zoom Meetings NowI recently led a full day workshop on Zoom, with super high engagement—actually, it was even higher that I had hoped! When my client gave rave reviews, I realized it was essential that I share what worked.Here's what I did:1 – Start (And End) With An Emotion Check. Have everyone say how they're feeling by using the Emotion Wheelgraphic showing a wheel with emotion namesEmotion Wheel, Smart Tribes Institute This will help the meeting leader “read” the room, and address any proverbial elephants or issues up front. When the air is cleared, people can be present instead of ruminating on what is unsaid or being avoided. Remember to use the Meta Model when someone tells you their emotional experience. If they say they're feeling __(their emotion here)__ ask what specifically they are ____(their emotion here)____about. Never assume you know what a person is feeling, and why! Compare everyone's emotional states before the meeting and at the end… this will be helpful feedback for moving forward.2- Have A Role For Everyone. This will help you counteract the Ringelmann Effect and keep the oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin flowing . I had a list of all the leaders in my workshop, the departments they worked in, and their roles. So I could easily call out to individuals and ask their opinion on a given topic, relevant to their expertise. Likewise in a meeting, everyone needs a role. If they don't have one, why are they present? See the effective meeting process our clients love here to help you clarify:· who needs to be in the meeting, and why. If they can't add value, they shouldn't be there· how to time box a meeting for optimal results· how to let everyone feel heard without wasting time· and more!3- 10 Minute Breaks, 10-15 Minute Labs, Frequent Questions Increase Blood Flow To The Decision-Making Center Of The Brain. A 10 minute break every hour will work wonders for engagement. Make sure you ask everyone to get up and move. Give them a question or topic to ponder to keep their prefrontal cortex in visionary/problem-solving mode. Likewise, having people move into breakout rooms to brainstorm solutions or solve problems keeps everyone on their toes. Then their findings are reported out to the larger group when the lab is over. I had 11 labs during 6 hours of content in my workshop. The labs were either solo, large group, 2 person, or teams of 4. Labs were every 10-15 minutes, so everyone knew they had to pay attention.4 – Summarize Topics To Refocus Everyone, Add Due Diligence To Decisions. Since many of us are working from home, distractions like kids and pets will happen. Be sure to recap what was just covered with a quick summary to bring everyone back. Do the same with decisions made, agreements/accountability/follow up items so all understand who owns what post-meeting and when the deadline is. Remember the brain likes specific deadlines with a date and time (Thursday, 4pm) and also watch out for cognitive bias, so your team doesn't make unrealistic commitments.The Net-Net· Use the above tools to keep the brains of your team engaged during Zoom meetings· Honor the brain by paying attention to breaks and emotions· Engage everyone by ensuring the right people are present and an effective meeting process is followedChristine Comaford is a leadership and culture coach.

NeuroLinguistics Pt4: Meta Model & The Science Of Asking Questions | Real Estate DEconstructed by Douglas Elliman

 Why do people ask questions? To get information. Have you ever left a situation thinking, I wished I had asked more questions? Questions are a valuable part of conversations and communication in general. Yet, most training will focus on using the right words and listening rather than asking good questions. The conversation, meeting, or presentation direction depends on the questions asked and the information gleaned from those questions.  Ask questions to get high-quality information or useless information. It depends on the asker and the structure of the questions.    What do questions do for us? To Set a direction.Questions are tools that chunk information into smaller or bigger pieces. Can get a person to reinforce a problem because people set up filters to sample only the things that confirm what they already know or decidedOr can open up new frontiers of knowledge and possibilitiesIt can help people to process and reorganize information in a new way.Are defined by purpose Divide the world into categories, small or large.  For example, “Think of a time when you feel fascinated” creates a direction that chunks out that set of experiences – fascinated and says, “This is what we're going to do – select this.” "Think of an extremely intense example” decreases the number of examples the person can select from.   “Think of the time when you felt the most fascinated” represents the smallest set from which to select an example.Learn to ask “when” questions – will trigger information about where in time an event occurred and when it was perceived by the person to have started.Learn to challenge quantification in language because this pattern shows you where someone has placed boundaries of limits in their world model.  If someone says, “it just happens,” respond by saying, “Well, as you notice what happens, just before that, tell me what it is.”  This question is framed so that for a person to understand the sentence, they have to accept the presupposition that they are going to notice what it is.  And it drives things from the unconscious to the conscious… in the process of elicitation.The brain continues to search the memory system on an unconscious level even after an answer has been found on the conscious level.  The mind scan 30 items per second even when the person is unaware that a search is taking place.Is there a formula for asking a good question? The structure of a good question. The art of asking a question in NLP enables a person to ask a question that you know the answer to and lead the listener in a certain direction.  There is a very thin line between elicitation and installation. What is the meta-model in NLP? Designed to help a person understand the linguistic deletions, generalizations, and distortions. The Meta-Model is designed to obtain high-quality information in a short amount of time. The Meta Model:Not about finding out what's wrongIt is about finding out the limits of a person's model.Every question sets a direction and directs the listener on how to think.To improve communication ability, a key factor is listening and then clarifying what the other person means and avoiding assigning your subjective meaning based on your own experience.  It allows you to clarify assumptions quickly and precisely.

Meta model adalah satu konsep dalam NLP yang menunjukkan ketidaksempurnaan proses penyimpanan memori dalam otak kita. Mengapa? Karena otak kita ingin mempermudah kita, dan membuat hidup kita lebih mudah. Jadi dalam setiap saat kita hidup, tidak semua yang kita lihat, dengar, atau rasakan disimpan dalam memori otak. Sebagian besar, ingatan itu disimpan dengan melakukan proses penghapusan sebagian (deletion), atau disamaratakan (generalisasi), atau dilakukan proses distorsi.

“Science, like art, religion, commerce, warfare, and even sleep, is based on presuppositions.” — Gregory Bateson, anthropologist and social scientist This week's language pattern is where what is said assumes something to be true without question, referred to in Meta Model as Presuppositions. Many of our assumptions are correct or beneficial …. but when they aren't they can impair the choices we make or our relationships with others. On the other hand if we ask ourselves ‘Who says?', we might just reconsider ! Want to find out more about personal effectiveness and NLP ?

“People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe.” Andy Rooney Writer and Humorist This week's language pattern is when we reach a conclusion that does not necessarily follow from the facts, but fits with the narrative in our head. This is referred to in Meta Model as a Complex Equivalence. What if we reconsidered and asked ourselves ‘How do these facts mean what we suppose – could there be another conclusion?'

“Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.” ― Isaac Asimov! This week's language pattern is when opinions are expressed as if they are a fact. Referred to in the Meta Model as a ‘Lost Performative' i.e. what is lost is whose opinion is being expressed. We are surrounded by other people….and ourselves of course, expressing an opinion without owning it or acknowledging even, that it is ONLY an opinion !

“Great relationships are based on clarity, not mind-reading.” Steve Arterburn In this season of podcasts I am focussing on language patterns that do not serve us or our relationships with others…summarised in the Meta Model in NLP. Sometimes people do not find it easy to get their head around Meta Model, partly because the language is so commonplace it can look ‘innocent'. In fact these patterns can be evidence of problems in our thinking that may be blocking our path to success and happiness in life. When we recognise them and question them new thinking can emerge ! This week the focus is on ‘mindreading' i.e. assuming we know what others are thinking and acting accordingly! Want to find out more about personal effectiveness and NLP ?

Our brains have 2 million bits of information coming in every sec. What an overwhelming thought! Imagine if you took on board all of those thoughts, you would be exhausted! In order to filter through the information, your brain will Generalize, Delete, and Distort. This explains why you and someone else can have the exact same experience yet have totally different thoughts about it.  And that is why you cannot always believe your thoughts. I help my clients challenge their negative thoughts through an NLP model called the Meta Model.  In this episode, I explain real-life examples where your brain is distorting, deleting, and generalizing information. Once you understand how your thoughts are affecting your reality you can start to make a change. Awareness is the first step! When you take a step back you can regain a sense of control over your own life. I hope you enjoy this episode:) You can connect with me on IG @insideouthealthwellness

The Neuroscience of Motivation: Why We Do What We DoWhat creates passion, loyalty, drive, peak performance and even love for one’s organization?Motivation.And what creates motivation?Well, it’s not a quick answer. In this podcast, you’ll learn how to unpack the motivators beneath human behavior, to understand why we do what we do, and how to offer alternative behaviors that feel even better than the behaviors a person is currently choosing.Before we get into tools, here’s a quick refresher on emotional intelligence. This is key because most people could use some work on one--or both--of the below paths.For example, if a person isn’t very self-aware they may not be receptive to participating in using the below tools—you’ll need to use them on your own, then over time invite them in. If a person isn’t very socially aware, they may struggle with reading social cues or may be too wrapped up in their own experience to notice the impact their behavior has on others. So again, you’ll use the below tools on your own initially.But first, let’s look at some research.What Kills MotivationRichard Clark of USC Center for Cognitive Thinking recently did some research on motivation. Here’s a high level of his findings, and I’ll help you implement them with our brain-based tools.The net-net is people lose motivation when they fall into what Clark calls motivation traps. The 4 motivation traps are:1) Values Mismatch: “I don’t care enough to do this” – if the project isn’t tied to something that the person values, they won’t be motivated to do it. Key is to find out what they value (hopefully your projects can be tied to your organization’s emotionally engaging core values that everyone is inspired by!), ensure the project is interesting, help them expand their identity via the project and check in on what they are believing about it. Humans experience change in the above 6 “levels”. Might your Environment be affecting their motivation? It is conducive to collaboration and communication, as well as bonding and connection? How are the Behaviors of others: are they helpful, supportive, goal-oriented? Do they have the Capabilities, the skills, and tools they need? I’ll jump next to Core, because if the organization’s purpose isn’t compelling you’ll want to tune it up. In my coaching work, I’ve helped hundreds of organizations create an emotionally engaging mission/purpose and vision in even the most challenging industries. Identity and Beliefs are deeply connected to Core.2) Lack of Self-Efficacy: “I don’t think I’m able to do this” – If an employee doesn’t feel they have the capability (either skill set or available time) they will lose motivation. Often confidence is the key factor here, and clarity on the project will help a lot. With a clear spec as to what success will look like, what resources the person has access to, who they can get mentoring/have check-ins with, you can often move past this de-motivator. Also making priorities and energy allocation clear with a High Value/Low-Value process will help a great deal. These tools will help:HVA (High Value Activities) = tasks you are energized by, tap into your strengths, may be challenging but feel good to do, are how you add the most leverage to the companyLVA (Low Value Activities) = tasks you know you should ditch, delegate, defer as they don’t bring great value to your organization (and they are draining, boring, something you’re not good at) or tasks you must do but need to move through them effectivelyNotice the total for both columns equals 100% (this represents their time at work).Then help the person to prioritize or ditch, delegate, defer or reframe tasks/projects to get them re-motivated.Next, you may have some identity work to do. Again, go back to the Logical Levels graphic and note in our book Power Your Tribe we unpack identity in great detail. See number 4 below for another tool to help here.3) Disruptive Emotions: “I’m too upset to do this” – This is where emotional resilience comes in. Since humans are highly emotional beings it’s essential that we all become more aware of our own and the emotions of others. If someone is snared by anxiety or depression or even good old fight/flight/freeze, it’s essential that we use these tools:Emotion Wheel – find out how they’re feeling Meta Model – ask “what specifically is [the emotion they named] about this?”Outcome Frame – and now ask them what they’d like, and if a lengthy Outcome Frame is inappropriate or would take too long (you’ll need 15 mins), do some quick Reframing. The goal is to help the person get back into their Smart State so they have more behavioral choice and emotional resilience.4) Attribution Errors: “I don’t know what went wrong with this” – When something goes wrong and we can’t figure out why it’s deeply unsettling. This is where Quarterly or Monthly Business Reviews, project post mortems, and feedback help us understand the people, process, tools challenges that may have occurred. Also when we feel we can’t complete a task or succeed, due to an outside force. This is when it’s key to unpack what the person is believing (there we go again with beliefs!) so we can help the person get back in motion. I find attribution errors often are connected to Organismic Rights.Here’s a quick summary:We all have 5 basic rights as human beings:1-The Right to Exist2-The Right to Have Needs3-The Right to Take Action4-The Right to Have Consequences for Our Actions5-The Right to Love and Be LovedFor an infographic on Org Rights, see the STI Organismic Rights graphic in the show notes., I also did a podcast on this topic.Once we understand which Organismic Right(s) the person is struggling with, we can help them increase it to build more confidence in themselves, to feel better, to have more self-awareness and self-compassion.The Net-Net:Clark found there are 4 “Motivation Traps” in the workplaceThe great news is there are brain-based tools that will help you and your team get out of these trapsUse the above tools to re-boot motivation for yourself and othersKey to helping someone exit these traps is to understand their emotional experience and beliefsWhat will you do to motivate someone today?

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him. - David Brinkley In this podcast Jim recalls an unplanned demonstration of the NLP Pillars of success when we did a course together. When I failed to explain Meta Model (language patterns)…. I was forced (by Jim) to find another way….I did…..and my ‘yellow brick road' was born…..I will always be grateful !

Are any of these phrases familiar to you?“You just don’t understand.”“How many times do I have to repeat myself?”“I can’t tell if you’re distracted, or you just don’t care.”Whether you’re hearing these phrases or saying them, they’re all signs of ineffective listening. And ineffective listening can lead to damaged relationships, inefficient use of time and energy, and silos between key people in an organization.The conventional advice to improving your listening skills ranges from practicing active listening, walking in someone else’s shoes, echoing back what the other person says, and paying attention to nonverbal communication (body language, facial expressions etc.).Here are three steps to being a better listener.Step 1: Build RapportBy building rapport, we make the other person feel safe by giving them the experience that we are the “same as” them. The more safety you provide to another person, the more safety you provide for yourself when interacting with them.This frees up your attention and energy to listen to what the other party is communicating. It also frees up their attention and energy to express what they are truly thinking. Rapport is about caring, not controlling or manipulating.There are many ways to build rapport. Here are the two we suggest everyone start with:Physical Body Mirroring. By mirroring a person’s posture full body position you step into what it feels like to be them. So for example if someone is leaning back and has his arms crossed, you do the same. Always pause before mirroring so that changing your position isn’t rushed or abrasive.Keyword And Gesture Backtracking. Mirroring the words a person uses to describe their experience, and the gestures they use too furthers “same as.” If someone says, “I’d like to go the extra mile!”, while slicing the air with their hand—you can respond by gesturing similarly, and backtracking their keywords, “Yes! Let’s go the extra mile.”(Note: this does not mean paraphrasing—which does not build rapport. Using their keywords is important.)Step 2: Use the Meta ModelYou’ll often hear people use non-specific phrases such as, “I find this task too difficult”. Often, we assume we understand what the person means by “too difficult.”For a software programmer, “too difficult” might mean they have been asked to develop a better version of Microsoft Word by themselves. For you, “too difficult” might mean you need more time to complete a specific task. We all have our biases. Without clarifying what someone means, we can’t be effective in supporting them.Key to clarifying what someone means, is to use what’s called the Meta Model in neurolinguistics. The Meta Model helps us see the world from the other person’s perspective, rather than our own.The most useful Meta Model questions you can use include:“What specifically?”“How specifically?”, and “In comparison to who/what, specifically?”Given the example we discussed, you could ask the person any of the following questions: “What specifically is this task, that you find too difficult?”“How is this task too difficult, specifically?” “Too difficult in comparison to what, specifically?”Step 3: Make It Easier For Them To Express ThemselvesListening is a two-way street.What we say to someone can make it easier for them to express themselves and feel heard. Key is to first understand the root causes of why ineffective listening and communicating occurs: a lack of the three key emotional experiences of safety, belonging, and mattering.1. Lack of safety. If the persons in communication do not feel safe, they’ll likely be in Critter State. This can lead to defensive behavior, aggressive interactions, and conflict avoidance. Rather than telling each other openly what they mean—a lot of their attention is directed to making sure they aren’t being harmed emotionally (or physically).2. Lack of belonging. Without sufficient belonging, people will not care to share what they want to say. And they won’t care to listen to what others want to share either. People want to feel connected to and supported by the people they belong with (colleagues, industry peers, friends, and family).3. Lack of mattering. If two people communicating don’t make each other feel they are important, and they matter—it’s difficult to feel heard, understood, and respected. People want to know they count, that they make a difference, and are contributing to the greater good.Safety, belonging, and mattering are essential to your brain and your ability to perform at work, at home, and in life overall. In every communication, we are subconsciously reinforcing or reaching out for more safety, belonging, and mattering.To truly be a great listener, we attempt to step into what it’s like to be the other person.Try the three above steps and you’ll find your interactions will be more fun and more fulfilling too!Resources mentioned:SBM Decoder Infographic: https://smarttribesinstitute.com/sbm-decoder/6 Phrases For Better Communication Infographic: https://smarttribesinstitute.com/the-6-phrases-for-better-communication-skills/ Connection Infographic: https://smarttribesinstitute.com/connection-infographic/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Diana, returning guest Bryant, Teen and Mark have a long discussion about the model minority myth (MMM). Do concepts like racial melancholia and racial dissociation contribute to the confused understanding of what exactly the MMM is and did white people incept them into our minds? How does it act differently as an interracial force, Asian used against Blacks, and as an intraracial one, recent Black immigrants against ADOS.

The Meta Model, a tool in NLP, offers a range of questions that allow you to specify information, clarify information and help others change their beliefs and ways of thinking. In this episode, I discuss the main ideas of the Meta Model and the questions that you can use to change minds.

In 1975, Richard Bandler and John Grinder, co-founders of NLP, released The Structure of Magic. Within this book, the Meta Model made its official debut and was originally intended to be used by therapists. It ended up becoming an integral part of NLP and has found widespread use beyond the clinical setting, including business, sales, and coaching/consulting.

Are you a coach wanting to add to your tool kit? Meta Model questions can really help unlock your coachee's potential

The NLP Meta model is a linguistic process that was developed back in the 70s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. The Meta model gives you a set of questions that allow you to gain some high-quality information. By now, you probably understand that each of us represents the world very differently. We have our own map. The Meta model allows you to question a person's map to discover more detail and more of what is real. Starting from the fact that we all experience life differently through our senses. And each of us distorts, generalise and delete lots of information at any given time. Each of our maps is completely different because of our internal representations are different. The Meta model allows us to explore a person's map in more detail. The NLP Meta model has three distinct categories Distortions Generalisations Deletions Distortions Distortion is the process that allows you to take an experience and change it. Whenever we bring in information through our senses, we hold that in our memory in a way that is right for us at that time. If we don't talk about that event, we generally blur the lines between fact and fiction and we use our own language to describe what happened. We often use distortions when we recall conversations, explain what happened and describe what and why we want something for example. Generalisations Generalisations are essential in our life. We use generalisations to garner information from one area to allow us to learn or understand another area. for example, if I was to show you a stool that you'd never seen before, you would know that that was a stool. It has three legs and a top, therefore, it must be a stool. Generalisations can also work against you. Just because your last two bosses were horrible to you, doesn't necessarily mean all bosses are horrible. Our ability to generalise helps us massively. also, our ability to generalise can also lead us to make unhelpful connections generally. Deletions We are deletion machines. It is said that there are over 2 billion pieces of information bombarding our senses at any one time. yet, we are only able to process between five and nine pieces of information at any one time. it's simply not possible to pay attention to all of the information around us at any one time. Whatever you choose to be aware of will normally be picked up by your attention. You can select what it is you want to focus on and your senses will begin to notice those things. But think of how many processes are happening outside of your conscious awareness. That time a wasp was chasing you around the garden, did you notice how nice the flower smelt? What we notice and what we focus on generally become real for us. This is why it's important to understand our usual structure of how we delete things. Imagine having a mindset where you consciously look for things to be appreciative for and things that go right. They are the things that you will notice and that will become real to you. Big corporations often focus on areas that can be improved. this is fine from a constructive point of view in most cases, however, the people involved will find it difficult to see the successes and the enjoyment of the work that they are doing. Check out the Reticular activating system and what you focus on increases for more on how our own radar works.

Welcome to Episode 78 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! We are communicating with you from the very centre of the trauma room of the hypnotic rash ER! That’s how serious this whole storm thing is getting…and the snow has arrived! Check out the show notes below and scroll down to listen to the podcast directly on this page. Keep sending us topic suggestions and show feedback. We love hearing from all of you! Here are the show notes for this episode: Mike gets off to a bad start by saying “testicle”. He’s irritated because of the blood in his eye, and the heavy snowfall he’s been shoveling while it’s not even winter yet. Mike promises to make no guinea pig laughs, but does just one. Mike is speaking remotely via Skype, despite his winter tires, because Toronto had 500 car crashes in one day! Chris preframes “the great content we have”… Chris and his wife Tildanna go for a walk together, despite the weather. Chris is way too interested in the subject, clearly thinking this is a promotional podcast for winter clothing. Mike calls Chris “Ken” but Chris continues. Registration is open for the May 8-12 Architecture of Hypnosis Class The training is already half full! Come to Toronto and study with us… Reminder: Karl Smith will be in Toronto at the World Hypnotic Epicenter to teach the Kinetic Shift for an entire weekend! Come out and be classmates with Mike and Chris! Check it out at mikemandelhypnosis.com/karl The Immense Power of Language is the Snow Theme today! Mike admits that he’s a stickler for precision in language…Don’t short-change yourself. “Try to get some sleep…” You’ll hear it in films all the time, and you know it’s not going to happen! Words have an effect! Here are the 3 influential models of language that Mike uses: Meta Model, Milton Model, and the Metaphor Model. The Milton Model is incredibly hypnotic! It directs attention inward to subjective experience. “Certain things are beginning to happen…notice that growing sense of ease…” This stuff is vague, folks! Mike invokes Peter Reveen so Mike impersonates him. “Ladies and gemmelemen…” Some hypnotists suggest, which enables the subject to disagree. We direct instead of suggest! (Mike spends a few seconds saying “Nome sane?” for his own amusement.) Mike brilliantly defines the models, beginning with the Meta Model. The Structure of Magic by Bandler and Grinder got it all started. (It’s still an excellent read.) The Metal Model uses language to clarify language… The Magic Question is What do you want? You must identify the target state. Jamie Smart and the shopping list metaphor. The Meta Model gives greater and greater specificity. Chris gives an example from his daughter Texephone’s life. Never assume! Humans generalize, delete and distort. It’s how we navigate life. The Milton Model is the opposite! Mindreading is when we think we know what someone’s thinking without asking them. The Milton Model throws all sorts of generalization, deletion and distortion at a person. The Metaphor Model is the use of Clean Language. David Grove, a New Zealand psychologist invented it. Clean Language prevents you from “leading the witness”. It stops us from imposing our metaphors and models of the world on our client. We use an average of 6 metaphors a minute! Mike thinks Clean Language is awesome! It extracts the subject’s metaphors. Just like in Mike’s MINDSCAPING, when the metaphor changes, the client changes too! Mike gives a huge plug to Judy Rees and Clean Language, and he’s not getting paid to do it. This is the last podcast of 2016! How sad… Chris explains how he’s re-structured the use of time in his life to develop a wider knowledge base. It’s working…Mike notices Chris is getting even smarter! Chris is also reading Clean Language, but warns us to beware of Parkinson’s Law: Any task will require the full amount of time allotted to its completion. Mike talks about selective gravity. Empowering Question: What will you do today to re-order the tasks in your life, to put the important stuff up front? Gus Grissom Update! Virgil Grissom spotted in Manhattan!

Welcome to Episode 74 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! Never before has a hypnotic typhoon gained so much energizing moisture, so quickly! This podcast is all about the transformative power of Logical Levels! Make sure you apply this information and have an awesome life… Check out the show notes below and scroll down to listen to the podcast directly on this page. Keep sending us topic suggestions and show feedback. We love hearing from all of you. Remember to send your Gus Grissom sightings to:gusgrissom@mailinator.com Here are the show notes for this episode: Mike is brandishing a Cold Steel Roman Gladius on the very edge of the moisture of the storm! He’s cut down the amount of wine in his Beef Bourguignon, as taught by chef Mark McEwan. Yes, the National Steel ukulele is the ultimate portable blues instrument! Mike’s Hypnothoughts Live MINDSCAPING course is sold out! (The Hypnothoughts Live conference is still open for tickets though…) Mike gives Hugh Comerford a plug for NLP Training, and talks about Robert Dilts, Nice Guy. Chris and Mike open a discussion on Dilts’ Logical Levels. Chris preframes that he learned Logical Levels by watching Mike teach it on video. This is awesome stuff that can change your life! The bottom level is Environment. People at this level are stuck at Effect. They feel like life is happening to them. Mike hilariously calls Chris’ daughters Hyperica and Gelsemium. The names are getting weirder, but the kids are learning these tools from Chris. One (Gelsemium) actually did the Jerry Intervention. These levels apply to organizations too; not just people. You have to be at Cause, not Effect! People who feel victimized are often stuck at the level of Environment. Mike points out that everything that’s happened is in the past. Mike says that all the time we have is coming to us from the future,  which is brilliant! You can effect the level where you are, or chunk up to a higher level. Next level up is Behaviour. What are you doing? Thinking? Saying? At Cause, means you’re the one in charge! Change Behaviour, and Environment also changes. A filthy house can be transformed! Chris begins discussing the concept of choosing a word for the year. Mike says he remembers that Chris’ word was vasectomy, leading to much hilarity, and Mike declaring himself to be a “comic genius”. They edit it out. Mike’s word was alacrity. (Chris’ actual word was balance) Mike talks about using the power of procrastination to procrastinate later. Mike does a “Jerry Kein cough” which is also edited out … except that it’s not really edited at all. Level 3 is Capabilities, which is really just abilities. New Capabilities will automatically add to possible behaviours. They discuss how the Architecture of Hypnosis came out of Mike’s study of Gothic Cathedrals. You sometimes have to practice in order to get new capabilities. Mike shameless drops a name by saying in an offhand manner that he “was having lunch with John Grinder”. Physicality plus saturation did the trick. Review is the key… Mike is flying to Quebec to discuss stress with financial planners and pension managers. The boyz discuss playing blues on a stratocaster to replicate Clapton. Beliefs are on top of Capabilities. Whether you believe something is possible, or not…you’re probably right. The Wizard of Oz as an example, and Mike sings Over the Rainbow in the background. Chris begins making a point from The Wizard of Oz and Mike doubts that Chris has even seen it. He says Chris might have been thinking of The Bag of Pykthos – The Movie. Or maybe Mike just imagines that would have been much funnier. Start to question beliefs that no longer serve you!!! Replace them with more useful beliefs. Use the Meta Model to attack and dismantle useless or limiting beliefs. Above Beliefs is Identity. This is the Ego, the “I” statements. Even depression can be at the level of Identity. Mike says ego eimi from koine Greek to be cultured and impressive. Mike reminisces about his early days as a “Stage Hypnotist” and how he reframed his career by changing his Identity to I am a Communicator! Get this fact: Recognize your Identity statements, and change them if you need to! Mike gives a fool-proof method to quit smoking. It works every time! I am overweight. I am a failure. I am a bad listener. These are all Identity statements. Chris and Mike have awesome lives! They actually apply this stuff. The final level is Spiritual/Mission. NLP cannot touch this one. Mike gives the example of Saul of Tarsus who was transformed to the Apostle Paul;  who went from being a persecutor of the early church, to the greatest apostle of all. Focus on Identity Statements. They’ll give you the most bang for your buck! The Gus Grissom Update: Virgil “Gus” Grissom was sighted in Wichita Kansas, by school bus driver, Honey Hallmark. Hallmark was surprised to see Grissom had apparently purchased Wu Tang Clan CDs. Make sure you email in any sightings togusgrissom@mailinator.com Mike is teaching the next Graphology Class in Toronto – Saturday September 17th and Sunday September 18th, 2016 – this event is coming up fast.

This is the third and last podcast on the Meta-Model in this language series, to be followed by Sleight of Mouth patterns, and the Milton Model patterns, each a small series in itself. In this last Meta-Model talk, we cover the following deletions: Ambiguous nouns Ambiguous verbs Ambiguous adjectives and adverbs Unspecified referential index Implicit […]

This is the second in the series of talks on the Meta-Model, where we cover five patterns of distortions: Nominalizations Modal operators of possibility Modal operators of necessity Presuppositions Mind Reading As before, we chose our examples from 3 different areas: Politics Relationship Business operations And we run each pattern through three examples from each […]

The meta-model in neuro-linguistic programming (or meta-model of therapy) is a heuristic set of questions designed to specify information, challenge and expand the limits to a person’s model of the world. It responds to the distortions, generalizations, and deletions in the speaker’s language. The meta-model forms the basis of Neuro-linguistic programming […] (Wikipedia) What is […]
