Whatever You Do, Don’t Just Trust Your Gut — Try This...

Becoming You with Suzy Welch ·

2025/08/12

Every day, we make decisions—big, small, and everything in between, each one shaping our careers and relationships, and sometimes even the course of our entire lives. And yet, most of us were never taught how to actually make a decision. Instead, we accept the conventional wisdom: "Just trust your gut." Too bad that advice is only right half the time. Yep, research shows that gut has a 50% hit rate. So why not just go toss a coin? Or wait -- there's a better way, and it's so easy too. All you have

2025/08/05

The demise of a job is rarely fun, whether it's by our own volition or not. Whether you've been fired or quit or somehow just eased out by mutual agreement and angst, every company separation is a little bit of a public death, and sometimes a personal one too. That's why it's OK to mourn, it's OK to rage -- for only a bit. After that, the work has to start. The inner work. In this podcast, Suzy shares the four probing questions to unearth what really happened -- and what you should do next. Tune in

Can We Really Ever Write Our Own Stories?

Becoming You with Suzy Welch ·

2025/06/03

Before Becoming You was a methodology, a class, or a book — it was a question. A question that our host Suzy Welch grappled with for decades as she sought to make her way in the world, as a wife, journalist, mother, and professor. Is it ever really possible to write the story of our own lives, or are we fated to edit the script handed to us by our family, culture, and circumstances? In time, Suzy came to realize that her answer was…yes. And it wasn’t just her answer, she believed, it was all of

Still, behind many lasting success stories lies a shared set of conditions.This episode explores one such framework: the PIE theory — a framework for understanding what actually endures.
