“What they found is that when you’re lacking social connections, the amygdala, which is where that fight and flight reflex resides, part of the instinctive mind shrinks and the surface becomes different.” The importance of building and maintaining social connections with Michael Mcqueen on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“The first thing is you’ve got to win affinity. You’ve got to be seen as trustworthy. Someone who’s got their best interests in mind. This is what Aristotle talked about as ethos, this notion of being credible and trustworthy in the eyes of other people you’re trying to engage with.” Michale Mcqueen talks about building trust to influence change on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“I’m reading 5 to 7 tech and trend journals or newsletters or online resources every day. So I’m pumping out content every day about what’s new, what’s happening. That then feeds into my presentation. So I’ve got this natural cadence of always the new.” Michael Mcqueen talks about staying up to date with trends and keeping content fresh on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.
