How Career Blind Spots Reveal Your Biggest Growth Opportunity

In this episode of Career Compass with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the concept of career blind spots—the gaps in your professional self-awareness that hold you back without you realizing it. They anchor the discussion in a 2025 study from the Journal of Vocational Behavior, which found that 78 percent of professionals identified at least one significant blind spot after structured feedback. Lucas breaks down how blind spots form, why they persist especially in remote work environments, and why top performers tend to have more of them. Luna shares a practical framework—the Outside-In Audit—that you can run in 30 minutes with a trusted colleague. They also talk about how to turn a blind spot discovery into a specific 90-day action plan, using a concrete example from a product manager at a mid-size SaaS company. The episode closes with a reflection on why the goal isn't to eliminate blind spots, but to shrink the gap between how you see yourself and how others experience you.
