“I think growing up…stuttering was a massive advantage.” Michael Thompson didn’t think so at the time, but looking back, he realizes it now. In this episode, Michael and host Brian Gorman explore a few of the many lessons that Michael has to offer in his book Shy By Design. Michael tells the story of why he chose to enter sales, and how he responded when, as the new leader of a sales team one of members walked out of the first team meeting he was leading because he didn’t want to work for a stutterer. Michael and Brian discuss the importance of networks and connections at multiple levels and delve into how to leverage those things that can hold us back so that they help to propel us forward.
Michael (Michael.Thompson1978@gmail.com) is the author of Shy by Design: 12 Timeless Principles to Quietly Stand Out. A career coach, leadership lecturer, and communication strategist featured in Business Insider, MSN, and Fast Company, Michael and his family live outside Barcelona. Brian is founder of TransformingLives.Coach. He identifies as a maverick coach, guiding those who are forging the way as leaders in the 21st century. (Brian@TransformingLives.Coach)
