“Double down on a skill you love — it’ll give you energy to hit your goal.”

 

 

CBQ: What is the skills blindspot?”

 

We kick off the Blindspot coaching in REVERSE with the SKILLS BLINDSPOT.

This episode highlights challenges such as time management and influencing others that leaders may struggle with despite excelling in goal orientation and personal accountability. To address this, the episode advises identifying and developing skills that energize and those that hinder progress, advocating for a balanced approach to skill enhancement. It emphasizes starting small and being mindful of skills being avoided to effectively achieve goals.
