How much of your day do you spend sitting?
Most people sit through meetings, presentations, training sessions, and hours of work without moving very much at all.
The challenge is that our brains were not designed for that.
One of the reasons I get people moving during workshops is because movement changes the energy in the room. People become more alert, more engaged, and more willing to participate.
Science continues to show a connection between movement, creativity, and engagement. Sometimes a simple stretch, a change of position, or getting people out of their chairs can completely change how they show up in a conversation.
What I find interesting is that movement often creates discomfort too.
People hesitate. They feel self-conscious. They wonder if they will look silly.
And yet, leadership often starts in those moments.
Doing something first. Participating when it feels uncomfortable. Being willing to step outside what feels familiar.
Sometimes a small stretch is not really about movement at all.
It is about helping people wake up, engage, and step into the room a little differently.
When was the last time you did something uncomfortable simply because you knew it would help you grow?
