    • Circle of Influence: Things that we can control and directly influence.
    • Proactive people are more focused on their circle of influence.

    Beginning with the End in Mind

    Win-Win Solutions

    • Win-win solutions prioritize mutual benefit and collaboration.
    • Win-win thinking sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one.

    Empathetic Listening

    • Empathetic listening requires understanding someone else's perspective and frame of reference.

    • It is different from sympathy, which can be a form of judgment.
