A Change Question - What Can I Control When Change Is Already On Its Way?

Welcome to A Change Question — a special mini-series from The Inner Game of Change. In each short, solo episode, I bring you one question worth sitting with — the kind that can spark both personal and professional shifts.  In this episode, I explore a question many of us face when change arrives uninvited: What can I control when change is already on its way? From restructures to new technology, change often shows up before we’re ready. The 3 P’s — Place, Proximity, and Posture — offer a way to regain agency, even when the storm is already here. Drawing on neuroscience and lessons from history, I unpack how small, deliberate choices shift the brain from threat to action — and why missing those choices, like Kodak or the Maginot Line, can cost us dearly. 👉 When change comes, where will you find your control — in your place, your proximity, or your posture?
