Episode 516 - Wrapping up November's National Podcast Post Month and Being Humble in a Group
Staying humble in a group setting—especially when you have more experience than others—requires intentional self-awareness and a consistent focus on service, collaboration, and respect for different viewpoints. In podcasting circles, where expertise is abundant but egos can sometimes overwhelm, adopting a posture of humility enhances group dynamics, builds trust, and opens up learning opportunities for everyone.Key Practices for Humility in Groups
Listen to understand, not just to reply: Let others share their ideas fully before offering insight, and show curiosity about their perspectives.
Share the stage: Make space for less experienced voices by inviting their input, deferring to others, and highlighting their contributions. If called to speak, acknowledge the work and ideas of those who paved the way and those who follow behind.
Offer support before advice: Rather than correcting or directing, ask questions and provide encouragement. Give advice gently, only when appropriate, and in the spirit of building up others.
Check your motives: Regular self-reflection (especially after moments of success) helps keep ambition in balance with humility. Ask: Is sharing now serving others, or just boosting self-image?.
Practice gratitude: Thank mentors, peers, and even junior members for challenging your thinking or enriching the discussion. Expressing gratitude grounds your authority in relationships, not ego.
When to Shine vs. When to Serve
It is okay to shine and share your expertise:
When the group truly needs your specific knowledge to move forward.
When asked for guidance, especially if the team is stuck or at risk.
To encourage others by showing what’s possible—if done with humility and transparency about your journey, failures, and lessons learned.
It is better to serve quietly:
When someone else’s experience, perspective, or win deserves recognition.
If your sharing shifts the spotlight away from the group’s mission or the collective good.
When teaching or facilitating—ask, guide, and celebrate more than instruct or show off.
Practical Tips for Podcasters
Use the mic to ask “What do others think?” and affirm every contribution.
Tell stories that highlight teamwork, mistakes, and shared learning—not just personal accolades.
Moderate panels and group episodes by redirecting focus to emerging voices and thanking guests for their knowledge.
Avoid monopolizing episodes by preparing just one key point and then opening space for dialog.
In all, humility among podcasters means always leaving room for community, curiosity, and shared growth. The right times to shine are when your experience truly unlocks value for others; otherwise, champion service, active listening, and gratitude for the diverse stories within the group.
