Do you walk away from small talk feeling drained, overstimulated, or bored out of your mind?… 😵‍💫💤 …but when you find someone you can go deep with, suddenly you can talk for hours and feel more energised than when you started? ⚡💬 Does this rarely happen, such that you'd love to be skilled so when the opportunity comes up again - you want to be ready to make it meaningful? Then welcome — this workshop is designed exactly for you. 🤝🌟 **Ideal for:** * Neurodivergent adults (Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD) who want real connection, not surface noise 🧠💛 * People frustrated by dating-app banter or repetitive first-date conversations that never go anywhere * Anyone who wants friendships or relationships with substance, emotion, and depth * Those wanting to learn attunement, presence, and powerful question skills that make conversations richer and more engaging 🔍👂💡 This session is for people who want conversations that feel alive, honest, and energising — not draining. ⚡🔋 **Why Powerful Questions Matter** Researchers like **David Clutterbuck** found that a “powerful question” can shift the direction of someone’s thinking — helping them reflect, feel, and reveal things that actually matter. The best questions are personal, resonant, emotionally impactful, non-judgmental, and clear. They go beyond information-gathering… and into insight. [Click here to What makes a Powerful Question.](https://clutterbuck-cmi.com/blogs/what-makes-a-powerful-question/#:~:text=Based%20on%20analysis%20of%20hundreds,the%20heart%20of%20the%20issue) When you ask these kinds of questions with empathy, curiosity, and presence, conversations naturally become deeper, more authentic, and far more energising than small talk ever could. ✅ **What You’ll Learn** * What makes a question “powerful” and why it changes the conversation * A starter toolkit of powerful questions for dates, friendships, and real-life social moments * How to listen in a way that makes people *feel safe* to open up * How to read emotional cues and attune to the other person * How to hold space without fixing, pushing, or interrupting * Real-time practice with rotating partners * Feedback and reflection to strengthen your skills * A chance to share your social challenges so future sessions can be tailored to you 🔄 **How the Session Flows** * Warm welcome + safety setup * What actually makes a question powerful (mini-teach) * Sample toolkit + why these questions work * Paired practice rounds (fun, safe, structured) * Group reflection: What surprised you? What opened something? * Optional deeper practice round * Quick feedback survey * Closing + practical next steps 💡 **Example Powerful Questions You Can Use** * **1.** *What shaped you into who you are today?* **2.** *What matters most to you right now?* * **3**. *What* is **most hard** about *(x challenge)*? **4.** *What does success look like for you?* **5.** *What are you wanting or needing that you rarely talk about?* **6.** *What moments make you feel most alive or seen?* **7.** *What drains your social energy?* * **8.** *(Followup) What restores it?* **9.** *What’s one thing you’d love to change about how you connect with people?* These questions help you move from shallow chat… to meaningful dialogue, and thus connection.

**🌿 Spandex fitness Social Stroll: 1000 Steps + Bellview Terrace** Ready to swap the treadmill for towering gums and skyline views? Join us for a 10km exploratory adventure through the iconic 1000 Steps Kokoda Memorial Walk and the sweeping heights of Bellview Terrace. This isn’t a bootcamp—it’s a social saunter. Think more talkies than walkies: a relaxed pace, plenty of banter, and photo stops to soak in the Melbourne cityscape and coastal horizon. **🚉 Meeting Options** **Public Transport Crew**: Gather at Upper Ferntree Gully Station exit (Belgrave line).at 11.45 a.m. From there, we’ll head together to the trackhead, about a 20 minute (1.4km) walk. A train from Melbourne is expected there around 11.45 am. **Car Crew**: Meet us at the 1000 steps cafe, near the start of the walk, just in from the car park at Ferntree Gully Picnic Ground. **Everybody meet us at the 1000 steps cafe, near the start of the track next to the car park at 12.15 p.m for a 12.30 p.m start** I can't guarantee the group will be there after 12.30, stragglers be warned, so please be on time. Any issues message me, and being late isn't one of them. Car park is located at the start of the walk **🧴 Essentials to Bring** * Sunscreen (shade is patchy, and the Aussie sun is fierce!) * Water (hydration = happiness) * Comfortable clothes and shoes (spandex optional, but encouraged for maximum vibe) Snacks to keep your energy levels up. Electrolytes and sweets if it's hot to keep your salts and sugars good **☕ The Grand Finale** We’ll finish back at the base, winding down at one of the cafes near the trailhead—perfect for a coffee, smoothie, or cheeky slice of cake after our shared adventure. **👀 Expectations** ✨ Expect laughter, light sweat, and stunning views. This is less about conquering the climb and more about connecting, exploring, and enjoying the journey together. **More info**[1000 Steps Kokoda Walk information](https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/places-to-see/parks/dandenong-ranges-national-park/things-to-do/1000-steps-walk) **Note**: This will be my first trip to the 1000 steps, hence exploratory, although I've walked in many places throughout Australia, New Zealand and Victoria, I've not done this iconic walk before. I've heard it gets busy, and full of the spandex bunch with a time goal, but things should quiet down when we loop around one tree hill and head down via the terrace.

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
