Self-efficacy grows when you focus your energy on what works and where you can truly influence change.

This episode is for leaders, mentors, and entrepreneurs navigating ongoing transformation and uncertainty.

You may feel drained by crises you cannot control and by constant problem talk in your environment.

We explore how a solution-focused stance can restore your agency and the agency of the people you work with.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• The shift from deficit focus and overwhelm to seeing your existing successes as the basis of real self-efficacy.

• How a solution-focused stance and the “circle of influence” structure your attention so complexity becomes workable instead of paralysing.

• Practical ways to strengthen self-efficacy in yourself and others through trust, small steps, and not taking solutions away from the people you lead.

With Susanne Bauer and Gabi Preßlinger-Bukovica, systemic business coaches working with organisations and teams on solution-focused development.

Within the next 24 hours, pick one challenging situation and list three concrete actions that lie within your real influence, then take the first step.
