- 2. It’s important to get people to walk more
- 3. …by taking walking meetings…
- 4. …because of 3 reasons. 1. Virality 2. Scheduling 3. Persuasion
- 5. Virality Most people don’t realize that if we can get one person to do this all the time, the movement will then spread organically.
- 6. Virality I know this because I got two college students to take walks with their friends instead of sitting down to catch up. Some of their friends also caught on and started doing the same.
- 7. Scheduling Most people don’t realize that many people want to walk but blame lack of time for not doing so. Converting existing meetings into walks is an effective solution.
- 8. Scheduling I know this because I got college students who were “too busy to walk” to convert their existing meetings into walks. They did 2 hours of walking in a week.
- 9. Persuasion Most people don’t realize that the benefits of a walking meeting are immediately noticeable and don’t need much discussion.
- 10. Persuasion I know this because I tried doing this with people who hadn’t done it before & 3/5 said on their own that they loved it.
