Ecology in NLP is the study of consequences. Whenever something changes, there are impacts across multiple areas of life. Ecology is the process of checking what will be gained or lost as a result of a change to ensure the outcome is balanced and sustainable.
The core goal of an ecology check is to ensure that a change is "Win-Win-Win"—good for the individual, good for the people in their life, and good for the wider world.
The 3 Levels of Ecology
-
The Individual: What will you gain or lose personally? Does this change align with your core values?
-
The Environment: How will this affect your family, friends, colleagues, and community?
-
The Planet: What are the wider consequences for the systems you are a part of?
In NLP training, we teach you how to run these checks instinctively so that every breakthrough you facilitate is high-integrity and permanent.
