CBQ - What is a foundation blindspot?"

This episode explores the Foundation Blindspot—where individuals struggle to articulate what they truly want due to a lack of clarity around their own talents and the environments that suit them best. Juan and Courtney discuss how assessments like DISC and Motivators, along with honest reflection, help individuals define meaningful career goals instead of defaulting to expectations. They emphasize the power of specificity and emotional insight in crafting fulfilling professional paths.
