Shy by Design with Michael Thompson

Michael Thompson grew up painfully shy and with a debilitating stutter. Despite still being shy and, at times, still stuttering, today he’s a career coach, leadership lecturer for master's students in Barcelona, Spain, and strategic communication advisor to top business leaders around the globe.

Michael is the author of Shy by Design: 12 Timeless Principles to Quietly Stand Out. His work has been featured in dozens of mainstream publications, including Business Insider, Fast Company, Apple News, Oprah Magazine, and Steven Pressfield's blog. When he’s not working with students and clients to scale their impact on their own terms, he can be found exploring the Mediterranean with his wife and two young boys in his adopted home of Palamós, Spain.

What is Living a Conscious Life: The Podcast?

Welcome to Living a Conscious Life: The Podcast, where we explore and discuss the importance of finding more peace, wholeness, and freedom in our lives. I’m Don Johnson, your host, an American living in Scotland.

Being conscious means being awake, being present. When we’re present, we can pay attention to what’s happening within us and around us. We can make better choices and be more effective at whatever we’re doing. Living a Conscious Life is about bringing more self-awareness into our lives.

And, for an even deeper dive, check out my new book, "Living a Conscious Life: How to Find Peace, Wholeness, and Freedom in a Chaotic World". It's on sale now and available wherever books or e-books are sold.
