“I don’t mind looking stupid. I don’t know everything.”
Those were the words of a well-seasoned PR pro after asking what “lossless images” were during a meeting.
While she thought she was making a fool of herself, I was thankful she asked because I had no clue what lossless images were either. In fact, it sounded like they were saying lostless images, which made it even more confusing.
It’s a fairly natural situation that if you have a question about something, someone else in the room has the same question, but so follows the tragedy of relying on someone else to ask the question.
Please learn that asking questions that help you discover or learn something new — essentially asking questions that make you feel you’re making a fool of yourself, have the exact opposite effect.
It shows you care. It shows you’re humble and can embrace humility. It shows you believe you can still grow.
