If you’re leading a team or running a company, how and when to communicate on issues can be the most crucial and difficult decision you make. Whether you’re taking a stand on a cultural issue, or delivering a piece of difficult news, it can sometimes feel like entering a minefield. But don’t worry, Rachel and Suzanne have set off plenty of mines before and they’ve got strategy for days.

This one’s for those of you who may just be getting to know us… or for listeners who have been waiting, hoping, asking for Rachel and Suzanne to finally lift the curtain already. Just a little start-of-summer get-to-know-ya treat. Enjoy.

Rachel and Suzanne discuss how to spot a “catastrophic thinker,” and give you tips for how to respond to them in a way that’s productive for everyone.

When Rachel locked herself out of her closet this week, she unexpectedly learned an important life lesson. Instead of coming in hot with an answer, her handyman actually solved her problem by asking her questions. Rachel and Suzanne discovered that the “let’s figure this out together” approach is actually way more effective than aiming for, “I’ve got your answer!” Also, Suzanne is a Diplo fan now?

How do you navigate a dystopian existence? Rachel and Suzanne are delineating the Before from the After times in the only way they know how: by asking the best questions. Here are four questions you should never leave home without (in addition to your mask).
