053: When You Need an Outside Perspective at Work

from Career Identity + Growth Conversations for Professional Women: Exposing the Hidden Reality Hosted by Annette Garsteck, Master Professional Career Coach + Sandra Wint, Trauma-Informed Leadership Coach

Have you ever talked through the same workplace problem with three different people and still ended up in exactly the same place? Sometimes the issue is not that we need more advice. It is that we have not stopped to ask what kind of help we are actually looking for. A difficult boss, an uncomfortable conversation, a decision we cannot make, or a meeting we keep replaying can take over far more of our attention than the original moment deserves. And the people closest to us may love us deeply while still reinforcing the perspective we already have. Sandra and Annette explore what changes when we get more intentional about outside perspective: when we need someone to listen, when we need a witness, when we want problem-solving, when expertise matters, and when the issue may belong with a coach, consultant, therapist, or another kind of support. They also look at the role AI can play, and where its limits become important. Because the most useful question may not be, “Who can I talk to?” It may be, “What do I need from this conversation?” Connect with Exposing the Hidden Reality: https://exposingthehiddenreality.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/exposingthehiddenreality Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/exposingthehiddenreality Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/exposingthehiddenreality Connect with Annette Garsteck: https://www.annettegarsteck.com Connect with Sandra Wint: https://www.me-her-us.com Photography of Sandra Wint + Annette Garsteck taken by Katie Garlock, Portrations
