What stands out to me about this executive is that the proactive of this is that they focus on the things they can change. They had focused on things they can change versus the things they can't control .

"make other's weaknesses you own strengths" - when people behave in some way, I can learn from that situation and do differently which I love. :) that's the main thing I took from the video.

In video they tried to show that the man that played main role reverse the situation - he only tried to work on his circle of influence but not on circle of concern. love that. :)

The fact that he was dictatorial and there were other negatives about them surprised me as sometimes we think that leaders need to be perfect.

The circle of my concern; politics, genetics, and the cost of groceries. Circle of influence; how much water I drink, how much fiber I eat, and exercising. I some health issues that I have to constantly deal with. I can't fix them, but I do responsible things that will give me a healthy foundation to at least be as healthy as I can be.

He is proactive and respectful to his boss even though his boss isn’t the best, and he makes the best of his situation by working hard.

🥑 Circle of Concern: (1) The shortcomings/weaknesses/ills of others, and how they impact me/others. (2) The suffering of the world. (3) Fearing the unknowns of the future. 🍇 Circle of Influence: (1) How I prepare and motivate myself each day, remaining focused and on track of what I'd like to accomplish for each day. (2) Not taking for granted each positive interaction I have with someone online/offline, and the moments I'm able to be of any help, but also remembering to take each opportunity for either/both with a sense of purpose. (3) Keep my cool and be more present, rather than reactive, in the face of someone else's irRESPONSEibility. <3 🍊 One thing I can do to focus on my COI: (1) Exercising the ability to pause before reacting and weighing out possible outcomes. One thing I've learned to do is ask myself, "What is the best possible outcome I want? If I XYZ, am I closer or further from achieving this?" Then, I can remind myself that with COC thinking, we stay running in circles, doomed-- I know because I've lived in that mindset for so long. You feel helpless there. You essentially are- by your own choice. With focusing on your COI, it would seem as though you are reclaiming your sense of power by recognizing where you do have control and allowing yourself to make a difference in the ways you're able, which only becomes greater with time. <3

🫐 Examples of him being Proactive: (1) Not talking smack about his boss with his co-workers after the meeting sitch. He looked over at his boss with empathy the way he'd looked over at his co-worker with empathy at the meeting when he was brushed off. (2) He helped his boss' sense of security by being a step ahead of meeting his boss' needs, and showing respect/focus for the boss' vision for the company.

🍒 I will show support on someone's post now. :) Ty
