Happy Friday Everyone!
Have you ever been at a staff meeting, in a classroom, or at a workshop/conference where you are supposed to be learning something and found yourself lost? Have you ever just nodded in agreement, with no idea of what it is you are supposed to understand? I know I have found myself in this state of being on more than one occasion. Yet, I sit there and nod without asking any questions for fear that I may appear stupid to my colleagues/classmates or look like an idiot. It is at this point where it takes courage to be the stupidest person in the room and ask the questions I need to ask to understand. If I don't understand, chances are, there are others around me who also don't understand and if I am brave enough to show my stupidity, surely others will benefit from it and we might all get a better handle on what we are supposed to be learning. This short Simon Sinek video reinforces that it is ok to be the idiot or the stupidest person for the right reasons.
Happy Friday!!
