The Secret to Power & Influence I Learned at Stanford's Business School

After spending $250,000 on a Stanford MBA, I realized the most valuable lessons were the invisible soft skills — the mental operating systems that help you build trust, influence, and actually lead everyone around you.In this episode of Tiger Sisters, we share the 3 most powerful frameworks from Stanford GSB that transformed how we show up as leaders — and how you can apply them immediately.We share:✅ The SBI feedback model from “Touchy Feely” — used by Netflix, Microsoft, Adobe✅ Power mapping from Jeffrey Pfeffer’s Paths to Power — why influence beats titles✅ Executive communication with the SCQA framework — clarity is stronger than being “smart”✅ Real company case studies (Sheryl Sandberg at Google/Facebook, Amazon product launches)✅ Mini exercises to practice each framework today🐯👯‍♀️ We’re the Tiger Sisters — Your Wall Street & Silicon Valley big sistersDecoding Money • Power • Love✨ New episodes every Monday | Shorts all week ✨🎯 Sponsored by mbaMission, the #1 MBA admissions consulting firm (Poets&Quants).
