You don't need all the answers.
Have you ever been learning something and found yourself so focused on getting it right that you've stopped paying attention to what you're actually doing?
I think we've all been there.
Whether we're training, teaching or simply dealing with everyday life, there's often a temptation to find the right answer as quickly as possible.
And while having answers can be useful, I've found that some of the most interesting discoveries come when we spend a little more time exploring the questions.
In BareBones, we encourage people to experiment, make mistakes, question what they think they know and discover things for themselves.
As an instructor, that sometimes means resisting the temptation to jump in and explain everything. Instead, we might ask a question, change something slightly or simply give someone a bit more time to explore.
It's not always easy, especially when you think you already know the answer! 😂
But something I've learned over the years is that just because I can show someone how I do something doesn't necessarily mean it's the best way for them.
We all bring different experiences, abilities and perspectives to the table, and those differences are worth exploring.
Sometimes we'll discover something new. Sometimes we'll confirm what we already believed. And occasionally we'll realise we've been making something far more complicated than it needed to be.
For me, the important thing isn't always having the answer.
It's developing the awareness, curiosity and understanding to ask better questions.
And that's something I'm still working on myself.
Inside out. Ground up. 💀
