In ecological dynamics terms, what we are talking about here is a “form of life”. This concept was first introduced by the philosopher Wittgenstein1. A form of life consists of the behaviors, attitudes, values, beliefs, practices, and customs that shape the communities we live in. These sociocultural practices serve to constrain the emergence of specific behavioral patterns. So, one way we can think of them is as a type of environmental constraint in our coaching model.
Learning to Be an “Ecological” Coach

My worldview is that all success is luck if you track it back to its source. Steve Jobs needed to both be born with Steve Jobs’s DNA and meet a fellow named Steve Wozniak. If Bill Gates had been born where I was born, he would have been shooting woodchucks on weekends to help the local dairy farmers instead of learning to program computers. Warren Buffett makes a similar observation about his own skills, saying, in effect, that if he had been born in an earlier time, his natural talents wouldn’t have matched the opportunities.
