Meta-programs in general are programs that create, control or make decisions about programs, such as when and how to run them, preferred and unpreferred programs, and strategic choices of fall-back or alternative programs.

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) uses the term specifically to indicate the more general pervasive habitual patterns commonly used by an individual across a wide range of situations. Examples of NLP meta-programs include the preference for overview or detail, the preference for where to place one’s attention during conversation, habitual linguistic patterns and body language, and so on. (Wikipedia)

After being very confused by one expert’s book on Meta Programs and trying to sort through over 5o meta programs I had almost given up on trying to understand, leave alone be able to use the insights into peoples filters. Your pod did the job of bringing this confusing topic to a level where I was able to actually understand them. so THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

I am amazed your group is bringing such quality programing at no cost. Made me wonder what is it that you are really selling :) but nevertheless I am thankful that something free is coming out of America.

Do you offer trainings? What topics do you cover? Where are these trainings held?

Thank you and blessings
