Lately, I’ve been exploring Stoicism and wondering how its principles could translate into my work as a security consultant. The idea of focusing on what’s within my control while staying calm under pressure seems especially relevant in our field, where unpredictability is part of the job.
For those familiar with Stoicism, how do you balance proactive risk management with accepting that not every threat can be mitigated? I’m curious about practical ways to apply concepts like amor fati or the dichotomy of control when advising clients or responding to crises. Any insights or personal experiences would be really helpful!
