specified by a single side of a particular metaprogram. They

may be more in the middle, oscillating between one and

another.

Hence, remember to carefully listen to the other person’s

words all the time, not only until the moment you specify
their metaprograms for the first time. Do not put people into

boxes, but rather assume that the person is using the

particular metaprogram at that moment and that is why

and when you can use it.

Use your head when trying to put your influence on others,
bearing in mind the fact that the key to effective

communication is matching your message to the way in which

other people communicate. Therefore, respect their

metaprograms and benefit from this knowledge. Wisely used,

this may prove to be an extremely powerful tool. Practice

checking what works best and in which context. Remember
that when you learn how to utilize this knowledge in practice,

you will naturally become very familiar with it at some point

and you will become an even better communicator.
