## Resource

What do you do when anxiety shows up… right when something matters? A networking event. A room full of strangers. A voice in your head saying: “Your Spanish isn’t good enough.” In this Quick Spoon , I share a very real moment from a networking event for psychologists in Seville—where social anxiety showed up… and so did the urge to run. But instead of waiting to feel confident… I tried something smaller. Something more workable. Speak to three people. That was the goal. Not confidence. Not perfection. Just one small, values-based action. A practical reflection on anxiety, workable goals, and taking action—even when your mind is telling you otherwise. People Soup: Real conversations about work, leadership, and being human — grounded in behavioural science, with practical ideas you can actually use.
