How to influence as a Consultant with Michael McQueen

On this podcast episode 51, I'm joined by Michael McQueen, who's about to release his 10th book titled "Mind Stuck: Mastering the Art of Changing Minds," in which he delves into the psychology of stubbornness and explores why people resist change even when they know they should. We discuss the challenges of navigating a world increasingly divided into binary beliefs and the importance of understanding the loss that often underlies resistance to change. Michael emphasizes the significance of building credibility and trust (ethos) when trying to persuade others and offers valuable insights into using questions to shift perspectives, all while ensuring that people feel they arrive at the decision to change on their own terms.
