It’s the first Friday Towards Move Club.

Each Friday, we name one small action that moves us towards something that matters.

If you’d like to join in:

What’s one small move you could make today that connects with something meaningful?

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.

Jane Goodall, world-renowned primatologist, dies aged 91 Jane Goodall Institute says β€˜tireless advocate’ for natural world died in California during US speaking tour

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.

Holding Values Close: Reflections with My Dad | Ross McIntosh Spending time with my Dad has reminded me of the values that shape my work and life β€” kindness, humour, courage, and more.

I've written a short post about my experience of spending time with my Dad, at the end of his life. I reflect on the values I have inherited and also how talking about death is still quite taboo.
