He advises against being an “opportunity killer,” underscoring the importance of being a problem solver for both clients and colleagues. Haskins advocates for adopting a mindset of “I’ll find out” rather than relying on the limiting phrase “I don’t know,” which he identifies as inhibitive to seizing opportunities. This philosophy not only facilitates personal growth within a firm but also unlocks potential professional pathways.
