Career Identity + Growth Conversations for Professional Women: Exposing the Hidden Reality16 Jul

046: Why We Create Stories About Other People at Work

How often have you convinced yourself you knew exactly why someone behaved the way they did?

A delayed email. A difficult conversation. A decision you didn't expect. Before long, we've filled in the blanks with a story that feels completely true. But what if the story says more about us than it does about the other person?

In this episode, Sandra and Annette explore how quickly we create stories about coworkers, leaders, and even strangers. Through everyday examples, including a simple coupon code that turned into an entire story about a team and its leadership, they unpack the difference between people problems and process problems, why curiosity is often replaced by certainty, and how those assumptions influence leadership, workplace relationships, and career decisions.

If you've ever replayed a conversation, questioned someone's intentions, or wondered whether you've been carrying an old story longer than you should, this conversation invites you to pause before deciding you already know the answer.
