Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In this concise and powerful Brief, we focus on the first and most important habit from Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits. Our hosts quickly explain what it truly means to be proactive. You will learn the difference between the "Circle of Concern" and the "Circle of Influence," and why effective people focus their energy only on the things they can control. This overview is a potent reminder that you are the creator of your own life. In just a few minutes, you’ll have a clear, actionable mental model for taking responsibility and initiative.
