Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know” to yourself. But my advice, is to never verbalize that statement to your boss or client. It’s a conversational dead end, and if you become the “I don’t know” person in the office, they may start to wonder what they are paying you for. Instead say something like, “I can’t make that assumption with the research we currently have. However, I can conduct X research by Y time and then we will have a better understanding of Z.” You want to be the person people go to for solutions, not the “I don’t know” person.
