“Context: Where am I when a particular experience takes place, in what environment, and who else is around? Behavior: What physical and verbal behaviors do I have in that context? What do I do? What do I say? Capabilities: What emotional and physical skills do I exhibit? For example, am I confident or nervous? Beliefs and values: What are the beliefs I hold about myself, the world, and my place in it, when I am in this context? What values do I hold in this context; what is important to me? Meta-programs: What are the underlying behavioral and neurological patterns that drive my behavior? For example, am I moving towards a specific outcome, or moving away from risk? These drivers are called meta-programs in NLP, and we will be talking about them more in a later chapter. Identity: Considering everything else, what is my identity in this context? Am I a leader? Am I a follower? Am I exploring? Am I creating? Am I teaching? What is my role? Beyond identity: How do I fit in with everybody else around me in this context? This could be my family, my colleagues at work, my teammates, my friends and neighbors, or whoever is part of this context. How do I fit in with the bigger picture, with God or the divine, however you perceive that to be?”
