This week’s Friday Towards Move is taking me outside of my comfort zone. I’m heading to a big Tech Conference in Sevilla. This move is in service of connection — with a healthy side order of courage. Small move. Real stretch. That’s the spirit of the Friday Towards Move Club. #FridayT
Friday Towards Move Club – 13 March 2026 My small move this week is to cycle at least 2km. 🚲 Not far. Not fast. Just enough to get moving. What’s your small move today? Read move via the link in the first comment. #TowardsMove #ACT #SmallSteps #FridayTowardsMoveClub
A thought from my latest People Soup conversation with Miranda Birch: Listening is becoming a rare workplace skill. Not because people don’t care. But because we’re distracted. I’m curious: What helps you feel genuinely listened to at work?
