Text me what you thought of the show 😊
Shift work doesn't have to control your life when you learn to focus only on what you can control. Roger Sutherland shares his transformative experience from 40 years in frontline policing and how the practice of "controlling the controllables" changed everything.
• Understanding that complaining about rosters, management, and colleagues changes nothing but drains your energy
• Recognizing when things are living "rent-free" in your head
• Practical ways to control what matters: preparation, sleep plans, meal prepping, and recovery
• Choosing how you show up at work regardless of circumstances
• Starting small by catching yourself mid-complaint and redirecting focus
• Experiencing profound changes in energy, presence, and workplace relationships
• Taking ownership of what's in your control and letting the rest go
Book a free, no-obligation 15-minute assessment call with me through the link in the show notes. I'll show you how I can support you to reframe your thinking, focus on what you can control, and build a much healthier shift working life.
