WALK IRL - VANCOUVER

Register on Eventbrite (link)

Let’s go for a walk together. 💃🏻

We would like to invite you to join us to go on what we call a “Walky Talky”.

How it works: We pair you and another walker and give you each 30 minutes to help the other unstick something about their professional or personal lives. How should you ask for that promotion? What should you tell that friend who’s too needy? Are you on the right track with that side hustle? Nothing’s off limits here.

The goal is simple: To move your body to fuel your mind, connect more fully with yourself—and others—by connecting with the world outside. Studies show you’re twice as creative while out walking as you are slumped behind your desk. And you need those big ideas to make the most of your big life.

We like to think of ourselves as a new kind of go outside and play. We believe that relationships are most important in our lives 🤝 and that unlikely mashups create new perspectives and opportunities. #relationshipsarethetruecurrency
