You can’t control every outcome, but you can take responsibility for how you respond.

In this Monday Mentor episode, Glenn Azar explores a core Stoic lesson from Epictetus: distinguishing what is within your control from what isn’t. Learn how to challenge assumptions, manage your first reaction and lead with clarity when plans change.

This week’s challenge: Identify one frustrating situation. Ask what you can control, what you can influence and what useful action you can take today.
