Episode Details

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 6 Episode 45 of People Soup, it's Ross McIntosh here.

This week it’s a cuppa soup - a short episode and I’m going to introduce you to a new club - that anyone can join (and it's free) - it’s called the Friday Towards Move Club. Consider this episode as its soft launch.

The Friday Towards Move Club

So what’s the idea? It’s something small and lovely I want to share with you.

It’s not perfectly crafted or developed - I’m keen to share it and see how the idea evolves.

In one of my small group coaching sessions recently, we decided we’d finish each week by sharing one tiny thing — just one — that we’ve done on a Friday - each week.

We call it a Towards Move - some of you might be familiar with that language - from the ACT Matrix.

1. Not a big life overhaul.
2. Not a productivity hack.
3. Not a “new me” declaration.

Just a small action that moves us towards something that matters.

A towards move has three qualities:

1. It’s connected to something meaningful.
2. It’s small enough to actually do.
3. And it’s done on purpose.

That’s it.

It might be:

1. Sending one honest message.
2. Stepping outside for five minutes of air.
3. Writing the first paragraph.
4. Leaving work on time.
5. Saying no.
6. Saying yes.
7. Listening to a piece of music.
8. Getting your sports bag ready.

And here’s the important bit — I encourage people to make it almost laughably small.

Because when it’s small, it’s doable.

When it’s doable, it builds trust with yourself.

And when you build trust with yourself — that changes things.

What I loved in the supervision group was this:

When we shared our Friday Towards Move, something shifted.

1. There was encouragement.
2. There was gentle accountability.
3. There was warmth.
4. There was witnessing.
5. Nobody judged.
6. Nobody optimised it.
7. Nobody made it bigger.

We just said:

“That matters. Go for it.”

So I’m launching something simple:

The Friday Towards Move Club.

A gentle online space.

Which will appear on LinkedIn and Instagram on Friday.

Where each Friday, I’ll share one small towards move.

You can post yours.

Or you can observe.
