Welcome to an all new season of THE BIG PAYOFF! Rachel and Suzanne are back from summer break and thinking all about “adulting” – who dreads it, why, and how to put on your Big Girl Underpants™️ and grow the f$@! up.

As we get ready for our summer break, we thought we would take a quick look back at an episode from March of 2018 that really felt life changing for us. So we kept the tape rolling and did a quick check in to see if we have taken our own advice- did what we learn in fact stick? Well, we thought it did. Until our producer, who NEVER wants to be heard on air, just couldn’t hold back this time.

Stanford and Wharton MBA programs have rolled out new classes with a “touchy feely” curriculum. These are the softer skills– you know silly things like interpersonal dynamics, relationship building and how to authentically engage with others. Basically, everything we cover in this podcast. You’re welcome. What’s incredible is that these more intangible skill sets, the ones that make us better at our jobs and life, are not part of EVERY business school curriculum. We have thoughts, caught on tape.

Okay graduates, job seekers, professional networkers or anyone who writes emails– this show is for you. You want to write a killer email to someone you haven’t met. Maybe you’ve been referred to them, maybe this is a cold call to someone you really want to meet. The truth is a cold call or email will very likely be ignored, missed, or, even worse, DISmissed. Ouch. This episode will tell you what you need to know to get noticed and maybe, just maybe, make the person on the other end WANT to talk to you. Just like right now– you WANT to listen to this episode.
