A new manager arrives. Your work gets reduced to your current role. Your history, your ideas, your potential — invisible.

In this episode, Dr. Theresa Haskins names what's really happening when leadership stops seeing you — and why it's not a verdict on your talent, even when it feels that way. Drawing on nearly three decades of corporate experience, she shares two real stories that show how the same situation can end two very different ways depending on whether a leader bothers to ask.

If you've ever been overlooked, underestimated, or reduced to a title, this one is for you. Dr. Haskins walks through exactly what to do — from naming the pattern, to having the right conversation, to knowing when to pivot and when to leave.

The problem was never your capability. It was their willingness to see it.
