COI - Circle of Influence
This is a concept put forward by Covey in the book "Seven habits of highly effective people". The concept is that everyone has a limit to their influence - their circle of influence.
Things over which we have no influence, are outside this circle. It's about recognizing that there are things over which we have no influence. Sounds easy! What's for breakfast, what book to read? How about Global warming, or local tax rates?
In his work, Covey then asks you compare your circle of influence to your circle of concern. The point being that it helps to be aware of the alignment of what you are concerned about with what you are able to influence, or do something about.
