Since episode 16, we have been exploring the NLP technique called the Keys to an Achievable Outcome. I trust that throughout these episodes, you are getting a really clear insight into the power of these keys when it comes to designing and delivering on your goals.

Having covered keys one to eight, let’s get to the ninth and final key, which is, “Is this goal ecological?” 

This is a powerful reflective question for us to ask ourselves, because too often we may choose goals and invest great effort, time, and perhaps even money into them only to discover that in fact the goal does not align with who we are, because even when it is self initiated and self maintained it still may not really be our own goal. Perhaps, we chose it because in our culture it is seen as a good thing, or maybe we chose it to please or satisfy someone or something else. Or perhaps we chose a goal and then we discover that the goal has consequences we did not consider and maybe those consequences are not acceptable to us. 

The main role of the ninth key in keys to an achievable outcome is to have us reflect on these aspects of our goal. 

So, how can we tell if our goal is ecological?
