UNDERSTAND
What is happening here?
A workload problem may include a personal planning choice and a system-level demand. Treating every difficulty as time management can hide unrealistic expectations or access barriers. An influence map helps prepare a specific question about roles, priorities, or support.

PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE
How to use it
- Place each situation in a ring based on what is possible in this context.
- Notice where cooperation, an accommodation, or advocacy changes your influence.
- Choose one action and one thing that needs support or acceptance for now.

MAKE IT USEFUL
Notice. Discuss. Take one thing.
For thoughtful facilitation
Open with the concept, demonstrate one fictional example, allow individual exploration or paired discussion, and close with one optional takeaway. Ask what fits the participant’s culture, language, access needs, and present capacity. Invite observation instead of disclosure; do not interpret participation as a measure of motivation.
Fit and care: Use manageable or fictional examples and adapt within competence. This is educational practice, not diagnosis, crisis care, or individualized treatment.
