EP367: Jeffrey Klubeck - Overcoming The Curse Of Knowledge

“Nobody is immune from the curse of knowledge. The curse
of knowledge is when we become so familiar with something that
we, all of a sudden, do not know what it's like to not
know.”
-Jeffrey Klubeck


If knowledge is power, then wisdom might be considered the right
application of knowledge. Too often the curse of knowledge boxes
us into ways of thinking and being that become inescapable. That
prevents innovation, connection, and creativity from blooming
with anyone who doesn’t think or act the same as we do.


We expect accountability and responsibility from others but don’t
often stop to consider how responsible we are, and how open we
are to being held to account by others. When so many of the ways
we view responsibility are based on judgement, holding ourselves
and others to account, can feel like an attack on our very
nature.


Jeffrey Klubeck (who is an author, speaker, mentor and coach) is
this episode’s featured guest. He has spent his career helping
people break down the barriers of their encoded thoughts, to be
open to new and different ways of doing things. 


If you are struggling to communicate with people of different
experiences or to break free of the idea that your individual
view of accountability is the only valid one, then this is the
episode to get you thinking about what your life and business
could look like if you broke the curse of knowledge.
