The Meta Model is a powerful language model
that has many intersections with the Enneagram. The Model helps
you recognize and respond to the language patterns of different
Enneagram styles and offers linguistic distinctions that will help
you communicate better with each one. If knowing someone’s
Enneagram style helps you speak his / her language, the Meta
Model will help you speak his / her dialect.
The Meta Model is most commonly used to gather high-quality
specific information in situations where it is important to
understand someone exactly. It is used by coaches, therapists,
counselors, and business consultants to understand their clients’
internal states and specific needs.
The Model is a revealer of both internal states and Enneagram
styles and contains methods for altering them. It works from the
idea that language is a direct translation of our mental, physical
and emotional states; offering a set of powerful questions designed
to change what we habitually delete, assume and generalize. The
result is a simple accessible tool that will help you challenge and
expand the limits of your own — and your clients’ — mod |
