An MBA is an important degree to have to take your business acumen to the next level. And so are the skills you learn outside the classroom. Combining the science of business with interpersonal skills creates a winning candidate for that next big promotion, that move into the C-suite, or a leg up in the entrepreneurial world. So where can we learn to sharpen our skills outside the classroom? How about right in our own homes. On this episode, we're sitting down with Bea Wray, Author of "What an MBA Taught Me...: But My Kids Made Me Learn," who shares her story about the hard life-lessons she learned while growing her business and being a single mother of three children.

“The problem is not knowing who we want to become, it’s becoming that person,” said Marshall Goldsmith during our conversation for the ROI Podcast.
We live in a world of constant change. Things come up that you don’t expect in your week or your day – Days just don’t always go as planned, especially in 2020. There are always triggers that could change our behaviors. Our environment plays a big role. So how do you stay on track in a quest to become the person you want to be? One suggestion -- Ask yourself a number of questions every day starting with, “Did I do my best to…?”
In this week’s episode of the ROI Podcast, host Teresa Mackin and Kelley School of Business Dean and Frank P. Popoff Chair of Strategic Management Idalene “Idie” Kesner speak with Marshall Goldsmith, MBA’72, a Kelley alumnus and a leading executive coach and best-selling author. Goldsmith received the Kelley School of Business 2009 Distinguished Entrepreneur Award.
Goldsmith discusses his New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-seller, Triggers: Creating Behavior That Lasts—Becoming the Person You Want to Be, explaining more about how your environment influences your behavior every single day – and how to work to make sure you can overcome obstacles to become exactly who you want to be.

"The very habits and behaviors that can serve you well early in your career can be problematic as you move into leadership."
When looking ahead in our career, we often work hard to develop both skills related to a current or desired position and personal behaviors that could help get us promoted into leadership roles. However, the habits that got you promoted could become roadblocks for the future.
Indiana University Kelley School of Business Dean Idalene "Idie" Kesner and ROI Podcast Host Matt Martella sat down the co-author of "How Women Rise: Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back from Your Next Raise, Promotion, or Job" Sally Helgesen, who has been identified by Forbes as the "world's premier expert on women's leadership."

Embracing a mindset of serving others before ourselves seems easy on paper, yet those who try often learn that embracing these principles is no easy task. When we do work toward listening before speaking, meeting our team where they are at, and constantly looking for who we should serve, the results speak for themselves.
We sit down with Cheryl Bachelder, BS'78, MBA'78, the former CEO of Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Inc. and author of "Dare to Serve: How to Drive Superior Results by Serving Others." Today she serves as a director for Chick Fil A and US Foods Holding Co. On this episode, Bachelder shares the importance of embracing a leadership style focused on uplifting those around us before we lift up ourselves.
