It's not Enough to Know About What You Don't Know

 Yes, you read it right. It's not enough to know what you don't know. That is Conscious Incompetence. 

You know you are not good at something and you are aware that you don't know a skill. So act upon it. As per NLP, every human can learn any skill and grab any knowledge he requires at any age . Many times as a coach I face a situation that there are people who are very well aware of what they are not knowing and lacking in their career. But surprisingly, it does your brother them even. So many a times as a coach I face the situation where people come complaining that they have lost out on a promotion or they have not progress on their job as they were desiring but when asked about their efforts, it clearly shows that they have not putting those efforts which are required. It is not just enough to know that you are not having those skills. You are not even ready to put in the efforts required; that you sit with a coach or a mentor or a senior manager and try and understand how that work can be done, how that skill can be acquired, maybe even sitting with a colleague would help for an on-the -job training which would be viable in this case. There are people who do not even have the believe that they can learn something new and they are very limited in the mental attitude. That it's not their area, which somebody is trying to help them learn this makes that learning very limited and their thinking even narrow, or so to progress it is a necessity to explore, and if you know that you do not have any particular ability which is very much required by your profession go ahead take that leap, get to know about it.
