He has over 25 years of professional experience coaching, facilitating, consulting to, and training people who lead others. He is the author of The Thin Book of Trust: An Essential Primer for Building Trust at Work*. It's a reality of life that we need to interact with some people we'd rather not. And it's absolutely a reality of leadership, that sometimes we need to have a conversation with someone we don't quite trust. In this episode, Charles and I explore how to prepare so it goes better for both parties. Key Points The four assessment domains of trust include care, sincerity, reliability, and competence. Seven steps to prepare for a conversation: Identify the assessment(s) you are concerned with. Define the standard you are using. Identify the specific actions or behaviors that have led to your assessment of distrust. Consider what you are doing that may be contributing to the situation. Determine what you need from them in order for them to regain your trust. Decide if you are willing to talk to the person about it. Ask the other person if they would be willing to have a conversation with you.

#510: Maybe you're trying to convince: – Your spouse | to embrace the FIRE movement. – Your teenage kids | to invest some of their summer job money in stocks. – Your neighbor | to sell you their house in a private, off-market deal. – Your boss | to give you more vacation time. – Your client | to pay you more. Today's episode is about how to change minds, build trust, navigate conversations, and influence and persuade others. We chat with Michael McQueen, a social researcher, strategist, and the author of 10 books. He's spoken alongside Bill Gates, Apple co-founder Steve Woznick and Dr. John C. Maxwell, and was named Australia's Keynote Speaker of the Year. His latest book, Mindstuck, focuses on how to be more persuasive. Here are some of the ideas we cover: Stubbornness: We tend to be stubborn because of our inherent desire to protect our existing beliefs and identities. This is partly due to the fact that the human mind has a tendency to make quick judgments and resist challenges. Logical Fallacy: People often rely on confirmation bias and tribalism when evaluating information. We tend to favor information that aligns with our existing beliefs and groups we identify with. Complexity over Extremes: When presented with opposing viewpoints, exposure to extreme viewpoints can – counterintuitively – make people more entrenched in their own beliefs. Introducing complexity and nuance can foster a more open-minded approach. Here are some of his tips: Uncover the Hidden Fear Address the Loss Aversion Use "Right and Reflect" to Get People Talking Build Rapport and Choose the Right Moment Frame Your Message for Impact Move Beyond Persuasion and Focus on Progress McQueen elaborates on these tips in today's podcast episode.

Michael McQueen: Mindstuck Michael McQueen has spent the past two decades helping organizations and leaders win the battle for relevance. He specializes in helping clients navigate uncertainty and stay one step ahead of change. Michael is a bestselling author of nine books and a familiar face on the international conference circuit, having shared the stage with the likes of Bill Gates, Dr. John C. Maxwell, and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. Having formerly been named Australia's Keynote Speaker of the Year, he has been inducted into the Professional Speakers Hall of Fame. He is the author of Mindstuck: Mastering the Art of Changing Minds*. There's a lot of evidence that our minds would rather feel right than be right. How then, do you influence someone when they are really convinced of their position? In this conversation, Michael and I discuss the initial steps that help in changing people's minds. Key Points Our tendency is to convince to the inquiring mind, but we'll do better if we speak to the instinctive mind first. Help others lessen loss and maintain dignity by preserving titles, language, and symbols in things that are new. Instead of trying making an argument, ask a question that allows the other person to listen to themselves. Ask questions that clarify points of resistance or misunderstanding. Speak like you're right, listen like you're wrong.

If you were to track how many times per day someone tried to convince you to change in some way, chances are you'd fill up pages worth of tally marks.   We often get sucked into thinking that the way to change people's minds to get them to do what we want them to do is to present them with enough evidence, data, and proof that our way is the "right" way.   But deep down, you know that's not how it works, don't you?   If you're not sure, allow my guest, Michael McQueen, to lay it out for you.   Michael is the author of the book "Mindstuck: Mastering the Art of Changing Minds," and in this conversation, Michael outlines why so often, our approach to change fails to take into account two of the most important factors in human belief and behavior: identity and dignity.   Check out Michael's work at https://michaelmcqueen.net/ and connect with Michael on Linkedin at https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelmcqueen1/.

Is polite persuasion impossible among the presently polarized populace? Mindstuck: Mastering the Art of Changing Minds author Michael McQueen has answers! What We Discuss with Michael McQueen: Despite technological advances that have changed how we communicate, the psychology that dictates our persuasion, decision-making, and thinking remains the same. The effects of rationalizing our existing beliefs and the power of our expectations and perceptions. The importance of not defining ourselves by our opinions. Practical persuasion techniques such as priming and the power of sequence, as well as the effectiveness — and associated dangers — of using fear as a persuasive tool. How an understanding of these concepts can improve our ability to communicate and persuade — even when society seems hopelessly polarized (and doubly so during an election year). And much more...

If you've enjoyed Talking to Teens, we'd love if you could leave us a five-star rating, and if you have time, a review! Trying to convince a stubborn teenager to see things your way can feel impossible at times. They seem completely stuck in their perspectives, unwilling to listen to reason or logic. So how do we get through when teen minds seem closed off?According to our guest Michael McQueen, the root of the issue lies in outdated persuasion tactics. When trying to sway teens, most parents rely on giving information, evidence and rational arguments. But as Michael explains, this only taps into one small part of the brain–the rational, thinking prefrontal cortex.The majority of our decisions and viewpoints are actually shaped by a more impulsive, instinctual part of the brain. For teens, who are still developing cognitively, this portion of the brain wields even more influence. So if we want to change a teen's mind, we have to learn what truly motivates it.The Teenage BrainIn his book “Mind Stuck,” Michael refers to the two processing centers of the brain as the “inquiring mind” and the “instinctive mind.” The inquiring mind takes in information and analyzes it logically before coming to conclusions. But for most people, only around 5-10% of decisions happen here.The instinctive mind is much faster, making snap judgments based on emotions, biases and self-preservation. This is the mind that judges whether someone is in our “tribe,” and causes us to have gut reactions. For teens with underdeveloped prefrontal cortexes, nearly all decisions happen via the instinctive mind.So when parents offer rational arguments to change teens' behavior, teens brush them off–because facts and data barely penetrate their instinctive way of thinking. Actually, pushing logic often backfires, causing teens to dig their heels in defensively.Instead, Michael suggests appealing to the instinctive mind by building trust and rapport. One way to do this is through vulnerability and finding common ground.Getting on Their WavelengthTrying to assert authority or superiority when conversing with teens is unlikely to get us anywhere, Michael says. Teens are inherently skeptical of parents' knowledge and worldliness. The instinctive mind wants to stick with the tribe–and for teens, parents are not members.That's why Michael suggests having authentic conversations where we come alongside teens humbly. Saying “I don't have this all figured out” or “I'd love to hear your take on this” demonstrates that we respect their autonomy. It also diffuses tension so they drop their defenses.Michael also discusses the importance of developing trust by upping oxytocin levels. The bonding hormone oxytocin determines how much we unconsciously trust someone. Releasing it requires candidness and finding synchrony–walking together side-by-side can naturally build connection.Matching body language too obviously can feel disingenuous. But according to neuroscientist Dr. Paul Zak, going on walks is an easy way to build rapport with teens by mirroring cadence and getting on the same wavelength.Asking the Right QuestionsBeyond vulnerability and synchrony, the language we use with teens can foster influence and trust, Michael says. Asking questions is more productive than making statements. And there's an art to framing inquiries that defuse tension and make teens want to open up.We can preface questions by admitting we don't have the full picture. And we should ask out of genuine curiosity rather than trying to catch teens behaving badly or evaluate their choices. Our motive should be understanding their perspective.The way teens interpret our questions depends heavily on body language and tone as well. And the types of questions we ask can steer conversations productively or unproductively.More Than LogicWhile the instinctive mind drives most of a teen's decisions, the inquiring mind still plays a role too. Particularly as the prefrontal cortex develops, introducing facts, data and personal experience can supplement emotional appeals.Telling stories makes parents more relatable. And describing our own regrets and mistakes reassures teens that poor choices or failures aren't abnormal–everyone makes bad decisions in their youth.While logic alone rarely changes perspectives, when combined with vulnerability, rapport and the right questioning, facts can reinforce the influence parents have. Understanding and utilizing multiple persuasion tactics allows parents to get through even when teens' minds seem firmly stuck.In the Episode...On top of the topics outlined above, we also discuss: Why isolation impacts teen psychology How to have high stakes conversations Why consistency and boundaries breed respect Picking your battles as a parent To learn more from Michael and grab a copy of “Mind Stuck,” head to his website at michaelmcqueen.net.

Would you consider yourself to be stubborn? Do you bristle at the thought of change and dig your heels in even when presented with undeniable logic? For most of us our instinct is to probably answer ‘no' to that question.It's everyone else that's stubborn right? It's the people on the internet who are blatantly wrong in their points of view. The family member who won't shift position, regardless of how much evidence you present them with. The colleague that just can't let go of how it ‘used to be' and embrace the only logical path forward.Or maybe… in order to survive in an age of more information, disruption, ideas, opinions, facts, news, and fake news than we have ever had to process - we've ALL become more entrenched and stubborn in our thinking. Simply as a way to survive.My guest today believes that not only are we more MindStuck than ever before - but the process of how we go about changing minds – including our own – has to change. Today's Guest Michael McQueen is a multi-award winning speaker, trend forecaster and best-selling author of nine books. Having helped some of the world's most successful brands like Pepsi, Mastercard, BP and Cisco navigate disruption and lead in times of extreme change.He has also just released his latest book ‘Mindstuck: Mastering the art of changing minds' which completely flips on its head so much of what we assume to be true about exactly how we influence, in a world where silos and stubbornness are now the norm. LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelmcqueen1/You'll LearnWhy we are all more stubborn and MindStuck than ever before - and how accepting that fact opens up a whole new toolkit of influence.The concept of the ‘inquiring mind' vs the ‘instinctive mind' – and why we currently spend more than 40% of our time trying to influence the wrong one. Why logic isn't enough and, in order to influence at the highest level, we need to take a whole different approach to persuasion.The paradox of choice (this one blew my mind) and why giving people the opportunity to opt-out, rather than convincing them to opt-in - almost guarantees they will say yes. Finally, five counter-intuitive strategies to move people from MindStuck to open to new ideas. Including why real trust and persuasion always begins with first having the courage to be wrong.

We just got back from a Gold Coast Business Week event where we heard an amazing speaker, Michael McQueen. One thing really stuck with us, it was along the lines of staying humble and hungry. He was talking in reference to business and trends but it also applies to life in general.This is what we spoke about during the episodeHow being humble and hungry is the perfect combination of personality traits.Humility is the ability to view yourself accurately as an individual with talents, as well as flaws while being void of arrogance and low self-esteem. It's getting rid of your ego and welcoming self-acceptance.What it means to be hungry, is to be a driver of change. It's not the hustle culture.Hone in on your hunger. Do one thing at once and do it well, and then move on to the next thing.Don't do the same things over and over again. Remember that we're all the same. No one is better than or below you. Don't be afraid to suck, be a beginner and ask for help.We hope that these two words "humble and hungry" inspire you in some ways.

Ever thought ‘That would be a great idea…. But I could NEVER make it happen’? Today’s episode is going to be just what you need if you have ever wondered about the above. Perhaps you are running a business or in a role where you feel overwhelmed prioritising your time, being a great parent all while maintaining success in business… how do you do it all!?

< 19:22 > TALKING POINTS Most of us want to be part of something that's meaningful and weighty and worthwhile. If you know what you stand for it's easier to know what you say yes to, what you say no to. KFC example when 80% of their stores in the UK ran out of chicken. KFC's purpose is about consistent customer experience. Even though some stores had stock, because they realized that it couldn't be a consistent customer experience which went against their core values, their purpose as a brand, they closed all their stores across the UK. If an organization is going to say, this is what we stand for, this is our purpose, or this is the DNA of the organization, everything has to support that. Toyota sales reps in dealerships get paid based on the customer satisfaction rating they get after the sale. How can put in place incentives that reinforce the purpose and values? If leaders don't care about the things they give lip service to breeds massive cynicism in the organization. It's a huge breach of trust. Managers can give a sense that what I do, my small part, translates to something that's bigger and more ambitious and meaningful. That's part of the key to keep people engaged and inspired by the purpose and the vision. How do you tell stories that model the behavior you want to see? Stories build culture, for example, the story of the customer service rep who went above and beyond. Bill Bernbach is famous for saying, “A principle isn't a principle until it costs you something.” What question can an organization ask itself in order to arrive at purpose? Why do we exist?

The Science and Art of momentum – where it comes from and why it makes all the difference when you’ve got it working for you.

@Michael_McQueen is a speaker, author and futurist from Australia. The majority of his work centres around helping organisations prepare for what’s to come, to look beyond the horizon at how trends in society, in politics, in technology will change the way they work. This applies to not only the private sector but also the public sector. I’m happy about this because ideas can sometimes move faster through the private sector and then into public policy when enough of the community demands it. Michael’s sixth book “How to prepare now for what’s next” is well worth your time, and I hope this conversation tickles a few tendrils of your curious brain so that you might think a little differently about what’s around the corner .For more about Michael - go to michaelmcqueen.net until then, enjoy the show….

I love to day dream about all the magnificent changes to technology that are and will affect our lives. Concepts like autonomous cars, personal assistants and any of the myriad things that will become normal within our life time. I marvel at the fact that in all likelihood, my kids will probably never drive a car and humans could be banned from driving on our roads completely. I love to ponder the social and political implication of it all. Therefore, I never pass up an opportunity to chat with someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. Michael McQueen is an award-winning speaker, business strategist and trend forc aster. He recently allowed me to fire all of questions at him about the future and what we can expect. It’s a wide ranging conversation we get technical, social and even a little political.
