Quote of the Week
If knowledge is power, knowing what we don’t know is wisdom
Adam Grant – Think Again
Challenge of the Week
Take a look at how you address being wrong in your household. For yourself, your partner or kids if you have any, or your friends. Is there a difference in how you address it depending on who it is? Are you overly critical? Defensive? What about when you get corrected, how do you respond? How can you be better?
If you want to amp up the challenge, acknowledge that you were wrong to another person. Maybe it is someone correcting you, or maybe it is someone you told wrong info to and later found out it was wrong, but never said anything. Join me next week to talk about how it went!
