Proactivity Experiment
• Take 25 minutes to exercise their “R&I” and
act proactively
• You must do something—it can be personal,
interpersonal, or campus-related
• You must be back at the end of 25 minutes
• You may partner up
Discuss Proactivity Experiment
• Find a partner who did something very different
with his/her experiment than you did with yours
• Discuss the following:
•
•

What were the benefits of your actions and who
benefitted?
Was your act of proactivity something that had longlasting effects?
Proactivity
• Circle of Influence—the things you can control;
ways of being (being happy, being resilient, being
proactive)
• Circle of Concern—the things outside of control,
but still of importance because they impact us
(parents financial problems, bad SAT score, school
policies)
Circle of Concern
External factors that
affect us, but are outside
of our control.

Circle of
Influence

•Parents’ finances
•Hard SAT Q’s
•Weather
•School policies

Circle of Influence
Internal reactions which
we choose in response to
the things that impact us.

“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90%
how you react to it.”
