In this episode, Emma Campbell dives into Mel Robbins’ "Let Them Theory," exploring how to let go of control, manage energy, and focus on what truly matters. Drawing from her own experiences and work with leaders, she introduces the Circle of Control and Circle of Influence frameworks to help listeners identify what they can control, what they can influence, and what is ultimately out of their hands.Emma explores the challenges of applying this theory, particularly in leadership and difficult situations like giving feedback. She emphasises the importance of trust in the process and how shifting focus away from controlling others leads to a more peaceful and empowered way of leading and living.The episode covers how the Let Them Theory helps individuals release the need to control how others think, feel, or respond. Instead, it encourages focusing on one’s own actions, energy, and mindset. The Circle of Control and Influence model further helps differentiate between what is within our power and what is not, reducing stress and increasing clarity.Emma also discusses the role of trust when applying the Let Them Theory. Trusting that things will work out, even when letting go feels difficult, is key to both personal and professional growth. She explains how understanding personality types, such as through the Enneagram, can provide deeper insights into control tendencies and help in applying these concepts more effectively.If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to follow Emma on social media for more insights and leadership tips.Follow Emma Campbell:Instagram: @Emma_Lou_CampbellLinkedIn: Emma CampbellWebsite: www.emmacampbell.com.auYou can also explore the ⁠Free Leadership Styles Quiz⁠ and other valuable resources through Emma’s website to discover your personality type and learn how the Let Them Theory can work specifically for you.
