Yes, we are all ignorant in some aspect, and we are frustrated with others’ ignorance.
The question remains though, how do we most effectively support others in their learning while we also remain open to our understanding?
Basic self-awareness, knowledge of what mental models are, what is fairness minded critical thinking, knowledge of empathy, practice of emotional intelligence, knowledge of adult learning theory along with positive psychology, critica race theory, and implicit bias definitely helps.
That’s a lot of learning, and some are not open or have time for all this learning! So, again, how do we best support others and ourselves ?
1. Patience
2. Seek to Understand perspective
3. Recognize your own assumptions
4. Start with 1-3. This way you have no expectations. Let me know where this guides you!
