In this episode, I’m getting real about a struggle I know many of us face: how to avoid being consumed by the the big challenges. Recently, I found myself stuck in the Circle of Concern, preoccupied with the U.S. election, it was sucking all my time and energy. When it hit me that I was stuck in this circle, I got curious. When there are big issues - and healthcare has its share of big issues - for example the staff you need to do the work that needs doing. When faced with these big issues how do you shift from the circle of concern to the circle of control?
