I share my experience of hand-delivering branded face masks to gym members to remind them they were not forgotten, emphasizing the value of intentional micro-touch points. I believe that small gestures, like sending birthday cards or following up after events, can significantly enhance our members&apos; sense of belonging. I encourage you to think about how you can implement similar practices in your own interactions. Let&apos;s prioritize these in-between moments to prevent silence and foster engagement.</description></oembed>
