We don’t know what we don’t know

What are you doing to figure out what you don’t know?

Are you insulated in a bubble that only tells you things you do know?

You can be even more fully yourself if you open yourself up to find out what you don’t know and grow from it.

I’m seeing that my friends matter in this. They must be people who challenge me and help me see the world anew.

My family can be this but yet often these relationship are insulating…they should be and they should be restful places. At times I get a good does of reminder of what I don’t know here.

Professional settings should be diverse enough and open enough that we are regularly challenged with our perception. Often though we don’t do this to ensure we don’t rock the boat. Maybe you’re keeping people from pointing what you don’t know here protecting yourself and being closed for input.

Coaching for me is a place where I’m reminded of what I don’t know. A third party who is an advocate for me but also an advocate for the better part of me. The part I don’t see or the insight I’m not aware of.

Find places to know what you don’t know.
