Event/Workshop

Open yourself to learning by asking your stupidest question


Venue
ZOOM
AU

Date & time

Wednesday, 30 September 2020, 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM

We've all done it, had that question we wanted to ask that just sounded astoundingly stupid. We're embarrassed that it even occurred to us and worse, that we didn't know the answer when it seemed so simple. The truth is there is no such thing as a stupid question, except the one that you choose not to ask. We never learn anything if we're afraid to ask the question to begin with, whether that's by researching it or asking someone who might know. Ask a Stupid Question Day encourages you to overcome your fear of sounding uneducated, and opening yourself to learning by asking your stupidest questions.
