What Is Personal Agency? Why Leaders Give It Away Without Realizing

In this episode of “The Story in Your Head,” Ron and Deb explore the idea of philosophical agency: the ability to notice, choose, and change the stand we take in life. Agency is not just about making decisions. It is about recognizing that many of the beliefs, assumptions, and “truths” we live by are stories we picked up along the way. Some came from family. Some came from culture. Some came from painful experiences. Some came from communities, workplaces, schools, religions, politics, or social networks. But once those stories become fixed, they begin shaping how we lead, relate, work, and build company culture. Ron and Deb ask a powerful question: Do you actually choose your philosophy? Or are you living inside a story you forgot you made up?
