What if the strongest person in the room is the one willing to say, “I don’t know yet - what am I missing?” 

In this episode, we practice exactly that.

In this week's episode, Erin and Jessica discuss intellectual humility - the willingness to recognize that what you think might be wrong, and to make real space for other people to be right. 

Together, they explore how this shows up in everyday collaboration, from project meetings to tough decisions, and why it matters so much for psychological safety and trust at work.

LinkedIn Practice:

The “I might be wrong” Week:

For the next 7 days, pick one conversation—at work or in your community—where you intentionally practice intellectual humility:

Notice what you’re assuming and how sure you really are.

  • Name it out loud with a phrase like, “Here’s my take, and I might be wrong.”
  • Invite another perspective by asking, “What am I missing?”
