What is Wisdom? - humility-

Join us this Sunday as we launch our summer series exploring the H.E.R.O. model of wisdom—Humility, Empathy, Reflection, and Openness. This week, Joe will guide us in a thoughtful reflection on Wisdom as it relates to Humility. In a world that often prizes certainty and confidence, what does it mean to approach life with a wise and humble heart?

Come be part of the conversation as we seek deeper understanding and shared insight in community. All are welcome.

Intellectual Humility Poem - Sue Ellson

I could be right

I could be wrong

With intellectual humility

I won’t sound the gong 

I’ll look, I’ll listen

I’ll see other points of view

I’ll be open to ideas

And seek the new

I’ll acknowledge mistakes

Apologise if misconstrued

Adjust and be flexible

Be aware and valued

I do not have all the answers

On every topic around

I’ll maximise my strengths

But keep my feet on the ground

I choose to respect

Alternative perspectives

Knowing others is intelligent

And that includes my relatives

To truly be me

I must know myself

Wisdom helps manage

The choices I am dealt

Humble I will be

With all ideas

My mind’s capacity

Manages what it hears

Without judgment

And with empathy

I’ll be an active participant

Of intellectual humility
