4 Complex Meta-Questions with significant effect
Asking complex meta-questions relevant to KPI with significant
effect for the coachee. "What does it mean now that you have made
this decision; how will that affect your sense of self from now on?"
3 Simple Meta-Questions
Asking 10 or more (per 30 minute session) of simple metaquestions; delivered in matter-of-fact manner, directly and
congruently, coachee responds with some effect.
2 6 or less Meta-Questions
Asking simple meta-questions that may be delivered with hesitation,
without congruence, too quickly, etc. so coachee is confused. "What
do you feel about that?" "About what? What are you talking about?"

Asking meta-questions that do not have anything to do with the
coachee's outcomes "What do you believe about dogs?"

asking only questions about objects "out there."

5) Inducing States
To say words, use metaphors, tell stories in such a way that
invites another to recall or imagine a mind-body-emotional
experience. To use voice and gestures in such a way that a
coachee begins to think-and-feel as if in that way of
thinking
and
feeling.
