Move Yourself First
Movement is not something you can hand to another person. You can only transmit a motion you already carry.
We talk about leaders who “move” people, about ideas that are “moving,” about being “moved” by a piece of work — and we treat it as a metaphor. It isn’t, quite. Look at the words we reach for — emotion, motivation. Both are built around the same buried verb: to move. Nothing moves out of you that wasn’t already moving in you. This is why you can feel a connection to an idea or a person in a subjective and often inexplicable way.
You can tell when the person speaking is in motion, and when they are standing perfectly still inside, hoping the room will move on their behalf. It almost never does.
