Good morning,
Recently John Krasinski, who played Jim in the American version of The Office, was being interviewed by Brian Curtis on "The Big Picture" podcast.
They were having a conversation about the movie "The Quiet Place" that Krasinski wrote and directed.
Brian asked John about what it was like to move from being in front of the camera to behind it.
John talked about how he looked for advice from others. He said:
I learned this from my dad. I can remember my dad saying that "I don't know" is one of the strongest and most masculine things you can say. That is kind of genius advice because you get so much back and you get great results.
He is so right! Being able to say "I don't know!" is powerful and, at the same time, it is often hard to say.
I don't know about you, but I always want to be seen as competent and capable, and I hate to look weak or stupid. Because of this, I sometimes make out that I know exactly what I am doing and that I can handle anything...even when that's not the truth.
When I do this, I set myself up for trouble because I am misleading others (and often misleading myself).
This week I have a tap-along audio and printable tapping script that will help you to stand in your power while remaining honest about what you do and do not know.

Being honest with yourself and others in this way will help you to be more successful and feel a lot less stressed in the process.
Let me know how it works for you,
Gene
