Consistently Asking "What Don't I Know?" is an Accelerant EP 63

When you talk with Cesar, you recognize quickly he's an expert in his field. He's worked in the Oil & Gas industry for decades and he has the technical side of his work down pat! But he hasn't rested on that expertise. About halfway into his tenure, he realized there was a lot more going on in his workspace that hadn't been addressed in his education or work experience to that point. With a desire to help his colleagues understand the real implications of all the data they all collected, studied, and made decisions from, Cesar started studying, again. The missing pieces were connected to sociology and psychology; essentially, the insight into understanding the human dynamics and how to use that to improve work environments and outcomes. Laura and Cesar explore a number of ideas, including some of the universal truths Laura has discovered over the course of her work and learning journey: Intent does NOT Equal Impact, One Size does NOT Fit All, Self-Awareness is the foundation of Emotional Intelligence… and one of Cesar's favorites: Sometimes we don't know what we don't know! If you've been wondering what you might not know, you'll definitely want to listen to this episode carefully, and likely more than once; it's a mini-masterclass in emotional intelligence.
