Intellectual Humility – Ep 24

Teachable LIFE Moments With Keeler Bryson

How do you deal with mistakes or admitting you’re wrong? We all know the uncomfortable feeling of suddenly realizing that mistakes have been made, and the mistakes were our own. You can admit the mistake, take whatever consequences might be forthcoming, or you can try to hide or deny your faults. It usually feels a lot easier to hide the truth. There's something about being human that makes us hesitate to admit fault, even when it's obvious to us and to everyone else that we’re wrong. Intellectual humility is simply: the recognition that the things you believe in might in fact be wrong. It’s about entertaining the possibility that you may be wrong.

Admitting we are wrong shows others that we are compassionate, empathetic, sympathetic, and good listeners. It also shows that we are capable of being objective about ourselves and that we not perfect or always right. Admitting flaws allows others to see our vulnerability. It also opens the door to meaningful conversations and relationship growth.

In today's episode, Keeler will discuss how to admit our mistakes and admit when we're wrong.
