I don’t fully agree with this.
While I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer I don’t feel unintelligent.
I have a great deal of certainty on what I know and I also am humble enough to admit when I have no data on something.
I try to speak my truth without being offensive but have no qualms about sharing true data to people who have false data on which they are operating. Most of them are wedded more to their opinion than they are truth so it often does little good but occasionally I make headway. Those times are the pay for the effort.
I don’t take a loss where I don’t succeed.
The better off is a person the easier they are to help and the greater the impact from helping them.
So I see a big part of my job is to help the able become more able.
If you would like to be more able, get in touch with me!
