Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail What if the most powerful force in business is not capital, technology or strategy, but the simple human act of one person truly reaching another? In this episode of Money Majlis, Suvo Sarkar is joined by Sally Susman - advisor, advocate and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of “Breaking Through: Communicating to Open Minds, Move Hearts and Change the World” - for a masterclass in how leaders can use words to move people, build trust and change outcomes in a world that is increasingly sceptical of institutions. For 18 years, Sally served as Executive Vice President and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Pfizer, guiding three CEOs through proxy battles, leadership transitions, political firestorms and the most scrutinised vaccine launch in modern history, after senior roles at American Express, Estée Lauder and in the Clinton administration. Together, Suvo and Sally explore why communication is not a “soft skill” but a rock‑hard competency that multiplies every other leadership skill, and why so many boards still underestimate its strategic value.
