We’re all amateur experts in a number of things we do on the regular.
Unfortunately, our casual expertise can sometimes get in the way of us listening and learning from professional experts so we can develop deeper know-how and make progress towards mastery.
The best way to develop your knowledge and skill isn’t by asserting yourself as an amateur expert and saying, “I got this.” Rather, it’s by presenting yourself as a humble, curious learner and saying, “I want to be great at this.”
