Most importantly Andy made an impact.
What can I say. Andy ran an awesome "Movement is Medicine" session for our global teams across Australia, NZ, USA and the UK. Given the global nature of the group we ran it on zoom and Andy did a remarkable job keeping everyone engaged, educated and entertained. He's a gifted facilitator. And that's what the session is all about - will one person change one habit or action in their life as a result the session.
