W.I.N. Wednesday: The hallmark of wisdom.

“The hallmark of wisdom is an alchemy of confidence and doubt, and knowing when to up the ante of one versus the other.”

Robert Sutton

It is not about all confidence, all the time. It is ok to have doubts. The key is to take action when you experience those doubts.

View whatever is driving the doubt as a challenge and engage in approach behaviors. Do the work to prepare and as Mitch Greene PhD would say, “Choose courage over confidence.” Have the courage to step into the doubt knowing that confidence comes from experience.  

As you gain experience from the process of choosing courage over confidence, taking action, struggling, reflecting on the struggle, learning and growing, the confidence will come. Through this journey you will develop the wisdom to know when to up the ante on confidence and when to up the ante on doubt.

What’s Important Now? It is ok to have doubts.

Take care.
