We’ve all done it. You're in a conversation—on a sales call, in a meeting, or coaching a client—and you get asked something you don’t fully know the answer to. But instead of saying “I don’t know,” you start talking… hoping to sound confident. That instinct? It’s killing your momentum, credibility, and trust.

In this episode of The Decisive Move, we unpack the hidden cost of pretending to have the answers—and why saying "I don’t know" is one of the most powerful moves you can make. You’ll learn how to shift from overexplaining to owning uncertainty, how it affects your leadership, and why clarity always wins over performative confidence.

✅ What You’ll Learn:

—Why “I don’t know” builds trust, not doubt

—How fake confidence destroys real credibility

—What true decisiveness looks like (even without answers)

—The mindset shift to lead, sell, and connect better

—The micro-skill that top founders, coaches, and communicators practice daily
