For some practice owners, saying “I don’t know” is about the most foreign and difficult thing to do. Turns out, it’s a show of strength, not weakness. If you feel it shows weakness, maybe you just need some help on how to say it out loud. My guest today coaches leaders and organizations to create amazing workplace cultures, and he’ll help us learn how to say those horrible words!
