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.

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?

It's a free club, launched last week. Every Friday we make a small move in the direction of something that matters to us. We might share it, or we might just hold it gently. Look out for updates in the next episode of People Soup, landing tomorrow.

In the latest episode of People Soup I launch an experiment - The Friday Towards Move Club. Every Friday on Linkedin & Instagram I'll share a small 'towards move' that I've taken & invite you to add yours. Starting on Fri 27 February and we'll see what happens.

Thanks to everyone who joined my 'Building better teams' workshop yesterday - a collaboration with contextual consulting - your reflections and curiosity were awesome.

I've found that clients are increasingly interested in introducing ACT at the level of the team.

New Episode - and it's a chat with friend of the show Dr. Joe Oliver. We're talking about life transitions, reflecting on our personal experience of moving to another country through the lens of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The conversation takes us through the highs, lows & surprises.

I have been feeling a lot of anger lately due to our political climate.

Dolly made this video today for her 80th birthday to benefit pediatric cancer.

We can’t lose hope.
