“Imagine you’re standing in front of a ‘perfectly assembled’ team—then, suddenly, everything unravels in a ‘WTF meltdown.’ Can you share a real story of when you realized your industry desperately needed your approach to diagnosing and fixing workplace dynamics, and how that moment fueled the passion behind what you do today?”

 Juan Kingsbury, Workplace Dynamics Expert and Founder of Career Blindspot, believes workplace expectations are all over the map and good leaders, not only need, but deserve a trusted nuanced outlet that helps them stay the course with integrity and clarity. 

He’s built benchmarks for fast-growing companies, exposed toxic team dynamics others missed, and helped leaders see what even they couldn’t admit: they’re part of the problem.

 In this episode, Juan drops truth bombs why hiring is still “trash,” what most leaders get dead wrong and reveals the truth industry experts do not want you to know of why hiring is broken, and how to truly fix it so you design roles that attract—not repel—the right talent.

And it is not what you think.

A lot of people don’t know this the number one mistake most companies make in what a “me vs. job” conflict really is,

 and how the lie we tell ourselves about high performers is really the cancer killing growth from the inside out.

 If you lead a team, make hiring decisions, or just want to stop feeling like you’re managing around the chaos, you’re going to want to listen to this one.

A Phoenix native, Juan is a proud alumni of Arizona State University and Walt Disney World. Juan developed his knowledge of human behavioral science in his __ years working at TTI success Insights, where he mastered his understanding of human behavior, engagement, and developing leaders.

Dr. Kermitia Burton shares her journey of transforming limited beliefs into limitless truths, turning supplier diversity into billion-dollar strategies at major corporations while redefining leadership for women. She offers powerful insights on finding your voice, building authentic leadership, and embracing femininity in professional settings, all while challenging stereotypes that hold back women and minorities in business.

• Dr. Burton's grandmother told her "little girls should be seen and not heard," creating a limiting belief she carried into adulthood
• There's a significant difference between being silent (by choice) and being silenced (by others)
• The three essential professional relationships: mentors talk with you, coaches talk to you, advocates talk about you
• Small opportunities polish your skills and prepare you for bigger opportunities
• Leadership starts within—how you treat yourself reflects how you lead others
• Just because someone excels at their job doesn't mean they can effectively lead people
• Faith and business can intersect; Dr. Burton leads as a faith-led leader in corporate settings
• For entrepreneurs: provide solutions, know your customers' pain points, and develop clear mission, vision and values
• Black women deserve more opportunities in corporate America, contributing to many starting their own businesses
• Paint Your Lips Red (PYLR) redefines leadership for women as "fierce, fearless and feminine"
• Dr. Burton's upcoming book addresses eight limited beliefs that stop Black women from succeeding
