Which concept highlights the need to acknowledge the limits of one's knowledge?

• A. Welcoming the Full Emotional Experience
• B. Know what you do not know
• C. Autonomy support
• D. Witness without intervening

Answer: (B)

Intellectual humility—the ability to recognize what you don’t know and to act on that awareness by seeking information, guidance, or referral when needed. In health and wellness coaching, this mindset keeps practice safe and effective: you’re honest about limits, you verify information, and you use credible resources or consult experts rather than guessing. This fosters trust with clients, shows commitment to accuracy, and helps ensure decisions are evidence-based and appropriate for the individual. The other concepts describe how you engage with clients emotionally, support their sense of autonomy, or observe without intervening. While valuable, they don’t specifically center on recognizing and acting within the limits of your own knowledge.
