I learned from the first video:

Three things in my circle of concern:

a. Reputation.

b. Bad mouthing.

c. Judging others.

Three things in my circle of influence:

a. Going an extra mile

b. being kind and concerned

c. sharing what I eat

One thing I can do to remind myself to focus on my circle of influence:

Developing more positive bonds with everyone, even those uncomfortable with my presence.

From the second video, I learned that I must not wait for others to ask for help. I am a robust observer and always look for an opportunity to help others around me, whether it will help them or not. Still, my supportive behavior shows empathy towards them.

Watch the following video and identify three things in your circle of concern, three things in your circle of influence, and one thing you can do to remind yourself to focus on your circle of influence.

Three things in my circle of concern would be things that I am concerned about but have no control over, such as what people say about me, what things they put in chicken nuggets and global warming.

Things in my circle of influence concern me, and I have control over things like my mental health, How I speak to others, and how I show appreciation to my friends.

One thing I can do to make sure I focus on the circle of influence would be to write a to-do list and ensure it adheres to my beliefs and personal goals to enhance my thought process.

Reminder to focus on circle of influence

I can come up with a mantra that states, "Worrying about my circle of concern without acting on my circle of influence does not make a change."

✒️ Highlight what stands out to you about this executive? What did they do that would be considered proactive as opposed to reactive?

The executive worked on the strengths of both the president and the coworkers. This made his circle of influence grow. He was proactive because he concentrated on the circle of influence instead of the circle of concern.
