5 Inner-monologues that keep seasoned professionals chained to awful jobs:

1) "I don't want to prove myself all over again."

Obvious questions = obvious ideas
Non-obvious questions = non-obvious ideas

1) What are your "super powers"?

2) What's at the intersection between hard skills and "superpowers"?
