Ecology

The systemic fit of a proposed change: whether it serves the whole person and their relationships, work, and health.

Ecology asks 'if this change happens, what else changes?' Even desirable outcomes can have negative side effects across the rest of a client's life. A trainer performs an ecology check before installing a change to make sure the change serves the whole system, not just the surface outcome.
