World events / global issues
Other people’s decisions
Past mistakes or regrets

3 Things in My Circle of Influence
My habits & routines
My attitude & mindset
My relationships & communication

The thing that I can do is to set a daily check-in or asks myself: “What can I control right now?” This forces me to pause, shift from worrying about what’s outside my control, and redirect energy into action in the areas I can change.

 AND

What stood out to me about the executive was how they took ownership of their actions and choices instead of blaming outside factors. They focused on what they could control and used their energy to make a positive impact within their circle of influence. By anticipating challenges and planning ahead, they demonstrated true proactive leadership, choosing to act with intention rather than simply reacting to situations
