Are You A SMOVER?
A SMOVER is someone who SMILES & MOVES.
Simple... but not easy. And definitely not common.
I remember the first time I was introduced to Sam Parker and the Smover Movement. I was hooked immediately and started sharing the idea team by team, throughout my company. And then company to company. As far and wide as I could.
The idea is complete without being complex. It’s one of those ideas that, once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And you start noticing everywhere people are... or aren’t... showing up this way.
Sam shares a story about his daughters running a lemonade stand during a city-wide event raising money for cancer research.
On the surface, everything looked great—they were there, participating, doing the “right” thing.
But when he watched how they interacted with customers, something was missing.
Low energy. Minimal engagement. Just going through the motions.
So he stepped in to coach them... and got the classic pre-teen eye roll.
Because in their minds, they were already doing enough.
They were there to get their required community service hours for school.
(And yes... maybe to raise money for a good cause.)
But here’s where the lesson hits...
Those customers didn’t have to stop.
They weren’t obligated to buy lemonade.
There were stands all over the city.
They chose that stand.
Which means...
The girls weren't doing the customers a favor by selling lemonade.
The customers were doing them a favor by choosing them.
That’s the shift, isn't it?
Whether you’re an entrepreneur... part of a team... leading a business... or simply showing up in your relationships...
👉 The opportunity to serve is never an obligation.
👉 It’s always an invitation.
👉 And it’s a gift.
So the question becomes:
How are you showing up when the opportunity arrives?
How To SMILE:
⏰Wake Up
~ Be attentive and engaged
🎁Be Thankful
~ The opportunity to serve is a gift
🤗Be Approachable
~ It attracts and invites opportunity
🚫Complain Less
~ Being positive is more fun
😀Smile, REALLY
~ It’s where pleasantness begins
How To MOVE:
🌄Start Early & Go Long
~ Get lost in your service to others
🚀Go Beyond Expectations
~ Expect more from yourself
⏱️Have a Sense of Urgency
~ Everyone’s time is valuable
🛠️Be Resourceful & Resilient
~ Results are what we’re all after
This isn’t about working harder.
It's about showing up better.
Because people don’t just remember what you did...
They remember how you made them feel while you did it.
So I’ll ask you directly
Are you a SMOVER... or are you just going through the motions?
