Perspective for difficult moments, from people who’ve been there.

been there is a curated platform for perspective, where experienced professionals help people navigate the emotional and practical challenges of work through thoughtful conversations.

Why it matters

Difficult boss? Sunday evening anxiety? Feeling stuck in your career? Wondering whether you should quit or stay? If even one of these feels familiar, you're not alone. Almost everyone who has spent enough time in the corporate world has faced moments that leave them confused, frustrated, anxious, or simply unsure of what to do next.

How it works

You’ll have a private, one-to-one online conversation with an experienced professional who understands difficult moments at work because they have navigated them too.

We call them Perspective Guides. They are carefully selected professionals who listen without judgement, help you step back from the immediate situation, and offer perspective shaped by lived experience.

Perspective Guides are not therapists or counsellors. Their role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you see your situation more clearly and decide what feels right for you.

Your time matters, and so does the time and experience of our Perspective Guides. been there is a paid one-to-one service designed to offer thoughtful perspective when you need it most.
