Neuro-Semantic Vision Series #3

THE EVER-EXPANDING 

NEURO-SEMANTIC VISION

In the beginning the vision was singular- raise the quality of NLP.  For us
that mean practice what we teach-communicate among ourselves, apply the
patterns and the premises to ourselves, hold ourselves accountable, step up
to be professional in our ethics, attitude, and actions.  It meant to
cooperate with each other, collaborate, support each other, give credit to
each other. 

Then in the late 1990s Neuro-Semantics began to expand.  With the creativity
that was emerging from the Meta-States Model we were enriching all of the
models of NLP.  I had the privilege along with Bob Bodenhamer and others to
expand the Meta-Model, Sub-Modalities, Time-Lines, Strategies, Modeling,
Meta-Programs, Trance, etc.  As a result, with Neuro-Semantic NLP we
expanded both Practitioner and Master Practitioner to include a much richer
version of NLP.  And that is still the case, hence our programs of Prac. and
Master Prac.-Meta-NLP and Meta-Masters

Then, with those expansions of the foundational models of NLP, we began
creating new models- all based on NLP and most of them using the Meta-States
Model.  In 1998, The Frame Game Model (now called Winning the Inner Game).
Then in 2002, the Matrix Model, next came The Axes of Change based on four
meta-programs (2004).  The Meaning- Performance Axes and the
Self-Actualization Quadrants (based on 12 meta-programs) came in 2005, and
the Matrix Embedded Pyramid of needs in 2006.  Then the Facilitation Model
for Meta-Coaching (2007), then the Axes of Leadership (2008).

That's a lot of creativity!  So where did all of these Models and the
multiple new patterns within them come from?  Two sources.  First from
Modeling.  That's one of the things we have focused on in Neuro-Semantics
and why we put a big emphasis on it in Master Prac. (Meta-Masters).  Over
the years, I have actually written five books on the subject of modeling.
And then, from the expanded way the Meta-States Model enables us to model
the higher hidden structures of an experience, lots of new things have
emerged.

This started when I did my first modeling project on Resilience (1990-1994).
>From within that study came the Meta-States Model itself (1994).  This was
then, in turn, recognized in the field of NLP (1995) by the International
Association of NLP Trainers.  And since then I have conducted 17 modeling
projects.  And so are many others in Neuro-Semantics.

Second, from the Community.  That is, from lots and lots of
Neuro-Semanticists who challenge and question me and who add insights and
discoveries from their own studies and experiences.  Sometimes they add so
much to a project that I asked them to write a chapter or two and included
them in a given book on that subject.   At other times I end up adding their
names to the books as co-authors because of how much they contributed.
Sometimes I have included their contributions within the chapters, or in the
Training Manuals.  Sometimes, we simply publish their articles and their
patterns on one of the websites and acknowledge them as a Neuro-Semantic
Developer.  Or if they have written a book using Neuro-Semantics, we
recognize that and honor them also as a Developer.  In addition to that, for
the past three years we have running an Innovation Contest each year from
which we select the three most significant contributions and publish them.
We do this to recognize what others are adding and contributing.

This really speaks to the value of a community- a place where people have a
voice and can make a contribution.  If the community is dominated by
competition and a fierce competitive attitude, the community is not safe to
share with- someone may "steal" your stuff.  So people keep it as if it is a
secret formula.  I know many very intelligent and highly capable NLP
Trainers who have some great stuff, but they keep it close to their chest
out of fear.  How sad.

We have worked hard to have a very different spirit in the field of
Neuro-Semantics.  We have sought to create an open-source community for the
Trainers and for the Meta-Coaches.  We have sought to honor contributions,
to recognize new insights and suggestions, to adjust things when people come
up with better and more efficient ways of doing things.  For us that is the
meaning of community.

This applies to things regarding leadership as well.   We want a shared
leadership of those who are actually leading- bringing people into the
community and so we have set up 19 Institutes of Neuro-Semantics in 19
countries.  This is based on a minimum of two trainers collaborating to
create the non-profit association and together promoting and supporting
Neuro-Semantics in that country.  This puts them in a leadership role and
when the Institute has a minimum of five members, they can recommend one of
their members to the international leadership team.  All of this is designed
to groom leaders.

And regarding leaders in Neuro-Semantics-we need all kinds of leaders.  We
need thought leaders, administrative leaders, visionary leaders,
inspirational leaders, managerial leaders, research leaders, moral leaders,
exemplar leaders, and so on.  To meet this need, we are seeking to generate
leaders in the different Professional Tracks that we have established.  This
will eventually give us those who are leaders in NLP, Meta-Coaching,
Business, Leadership, Health, Education, etc.
