Three Circles Clarify Where To Apply Energy

  • The Three Circles model separates control, influence, and concern to show where to invest attention.
  • Expanding your circle of influence reduces the outer circle of concern and increases agency.
ADVICE

Start With What You Really Control

  • Identify what you actually control first (thoughts, choices, words, actions) before trying to influence others.
  • Use that inner clarity to step deliberately into your circle of influence with specific actions.

  • Making deliberate choices to act moves issues from mere concern into influence.
