Harnessing Influence: How to Focus Your Energy for Real Change

Life Passion and Business

Are you using your energy wisely?

In this episode, we're reflecting on the impact of current events, like the recent American presidential election, and how they resonate beyond borders. It's fascinating how these events stir up a whirlwind of speculation, but let's face it, most of us don't have the power to influence the decisions made in the White House. So, why do we pour our energy into these topics? Let's chat about that!

Drawing inspiration from Stephen Covey's "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," we delve into the concept of the circle of influence versus the circle of concern. Discover how focusing on what you can control can expand your influence and lead to meaningful change. Whether through local activism or gathering like-minded individuals to advocate for a cause, there are ways to make a real impact.

We'll share a personal story about a community coming together to improve their neighbourhood's traffic situation—proof that collective action can lead to positive outcomes. If you're passionate about making changes, it's all about starting where you can truly make a difference and growing your circle of influence from there.
