Welcome to a very special mini-series on The Inner Game of Change. I’m thrilled to take you on this journey as we explore something both timeless and practical: Mental Models for Managing Change. In this episode, we explore one of the most practical and empowering models in the change toolkit: the Circle of Control, Influence, and Concern. When faced with uncertainty or disruption, where we place our attention can make or break our impact.
