Career Tip for Women in Tech: Circles of Control
Episode Description
One transformative technique to shift your attitude from powerless to empowered
The circles of control include the circle of control, circle of influence, and circle of concern
One powerful story about a client who shifted her perspective and moved from angry and frustrated to empowered in a new career phase
HIGHLIGHTS:
We control very little, we influence a bit more, and we waste most of our time with concerns
We spent too much time and energy focused on areas of our careers and lives that are out of our control. As a result we feel drained, discouraged, angry, and lost. Use this simple exercise to shift towards empowered, positive, engaged.
Get clear about what you control
You control very little, but when you place your time and energy where you can control the experience, you shift your entire experience. Get clear — how you show up, if you show up, what you wear, if you are on time, how you ask and answer questions, if you accept a raise or promotion — and then focus on that.
Understand the power and limitation of influence
We influence how other people experience and react to us, how they act with us. We influence it by what we accept and by what we don’t accept. We influence other people. We influence processes. We influence political situations. We influence a lot and we control very little.
Stop spending your energy in areas of concern
So many people feel awful because they spend so much time and energy in topics they can’t control. So, stop it. Do this exercise, create the visual representation and then take action of what you control.
