↳ looking upward for answers
↳ won’t trust their own judgment
↳ fear criticism so don’t voice opinions

↳ develop the confidence to navigate issues
↳ question and challenge authority
↳ speak their truth on their terms

Wisdom isn’t just about giving answers - it’s about helping people discover their own.
