Here’s the trap I see all the time. Someone’s capable. Someone’s ready. But they’re waiting to feel confident first. And that moment never quite arrives. Listen to this 2 minute Quick Spoon from People Soup via the link in the first comment.

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?

Friday Towards Move Club Week 2 Each Friday, I name one small action that moves me towards something that matters. My Friday Towards Move this week: Tidying my desk. Why it matters: Order, clarity & peace. Feedback from last week via link in the first comment

In our latest episode you'll hear feedback from the first Friday Towards Moves Club. You'll find out more and hear what small things people did in a meaningful direction. A 5 minute listen. And of course, the next club is tomorrow! Link in the first comment or wherever you get your pods.

BREAKING: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has barred the U.S. from using Spanish military bases for attacks on Iran.

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.

Oh no! 😢 I am truly sad about this! An entire life dedicated to the care, understanding and bridging of communication between us and other species. An ambassador of good. She was a legend that walked amongst us and we were genuinely lucky to have lived in the same timeline as this human. 💔💔💔
