What is the NLP Meta Model? Precision Questioning and Listening

The video introduces the meta model, a foundational concept in NLP developed by John Grinder and Richard Bandler. It explores how language filters like deletion, distortion, and generalization affect our perception and communication. The meta model helps identify these filters and provides questions to challenge unhelpful patterns. Distortions, such as assuming cause and effect or equivalence, are highlighted as particularly damaging. Generalizations and deletions are also discussed, with examples illustrating their impact. The video emphasizes the importance of using the meta model to improve communication and avoid unwarranted assumptions.
