\"confidence-and-winging-it\"<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed last week\u2019s Thought for the Week; \u201cWe don\u2019t know what we don\u2019t know!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

This was about how, as humans, we have certain blind spots that get in our way when we unaware of them.<\/p>\n

And these blind spots are holding many people back from being promoted, getting clients, enjoying more success etc.<\/p>\n

If you have received Coaching or Mentoring, you will remember that lightbulb moment when you had a big realisation!<\/p>\n

You can read my previous blogs here below.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we feel like an idiot for not knowing something and yet why should <\/em>we have known that? I hear a lot of very talented professionals talk about this and whether they should admit not knowing something or just muddle through somehow.<\/p>\n

If you have experienced this, or witnessed it as a leader, you\u2019ll know that it can be disastrous to just try and \u2018wing it\u2019 \u2026 but not always \u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cIn both the art and the business worlds. The difference between the amateurs and the professionals is simple; The professionals know they\u2019re winging it. The amateurs pretend they\u2019re not!\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a big difference between pretending and having the confidence to have a go anyway …<\/p>\n
