if you’re the dumba$$ who didn’t figure it out.

1/ She told me, "I'm going to figure this sh!t out. I don't like feeling dumb."

2/ Some context: 👉 She makes $300,000+ per year (or $144 per hour). 👉 She is a newly promoted executive leader. 👉 She is responsible for $110 million in client revenue.

3/ I responded, "Don't let your ego get you killed. It'll be much worse if you're the executive who didn't get the result because you couldn't figure out how to find the information.

Her response: ❤️‍🔥

4/ Fast forward 20 minutes...She texted me: "I asked my new colleague right away to show me where the information was located. That was the play!"

5/ Outcomes of checking her ego

1 - She gained a little street cred with a colleague.

2 - She built rapport with her colleague.

3 - She uncovered a treasure trove of useful information I didn't know existed.

4 - She got a head start on her next project.

5 - She feels empowered.
