Workshop Description:

“It’s not my fault.”
“They made me feel that way.”
“If they respected me, I wouldn’t get so frustrated.”

Statements like these reflect a powerful but often hidden mental trap: the external control fallacy—the belief that other people are responsible for our emotions, reactions, and even our success. In the workplace, this mindset shows up as blame, resentment, defensiveness, and disengagement, all of which undermine collaboration and growth.

In this engaging and interactive workshop based on Dr. Andrea Dardello’s book, The Mindset Advantage, participants will explore how to interrupt the blame game and reclaim emotional ownership. With practical tools, reflection exercises, and real-world scenarios, this session equips attendees to recognize the external control fallacy and replace it with empowering, accountable thinking.

Learning Objectives:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

Define the external control fallacy and how it affects emotional and professional decision-making

Understand how they hand over emotional power in the workplace

Identify the costs of giving others control over their internal experiences

Practice reframing strategies to shift from reactive to intentional responses
