And usually a PhD is a prerequisite for being a professor.

And so virtually all of my colleagues at the university, hundreds of other professors have worked really hard to achieve that title.

And so I don't take it for granted.

Yeah.

I like this idea of positive orientation to self-doubt when it's a safety net, a psychological safety net to make sure you're not.

My issue is I don't know what my blind spots are.

I've got them.

But they're my blind spots.

And you have to be a safe person in probably very safe and courageous relationships for people to say, hey, you know what?

This is an issue or I think you've missed something or you need to X, Y, Z.

Yeah, and that's exactly it.

And this is an ongoing journey.

I don't know about you, but I still find it quite hard to get feedback.

It's not, I wish I was better at this.

And, you know, it's one of my work-ons.

But feedback is a gift.

And especially, as you say, if it's a blind spot, then that's fantastically helpful as a leader.

We need to know what our strengths are and also the shadow sides of those strengths when we over-deploy them.

We often know what our deficits are, and it's important we don't focus on those too much, but our blind spots, that requires a high degree of psychological safety with someone, either work colleagues or significant others, who are able to give us feedback in a way and for us to be receptive to that feedback also.

I don't always get that right, I have to be really honest.
