🎾 Game, Set, Match for the Environment! 🌍 The world’s first circular tennis and padel ball is here — and it's changing the game for both athletes and the planet. 🌱 Traditionally, tennis balls end up in landfills or are incinerated, adding to global waste. In the U.S. alone, 125 million tennis balls are thrown away each year, with each ball emitting 1.2 pounds of carbon during its lifecycle. But Renewaball is stepping up to serve a solution! 🏆 Founded in 2020 and certified as a B Corp in 2023, Renewaball has developed a fully recyclable tennis and padel ball made from locally sourced materials and recycled old balls. Their innovative process eliminates microplastics and ensures sustainable production right here in Western Europe. These balls are also certified by both the International Tennis and Padel Federations. As co-founder Hélène Hoogeboom says, "A real leader wants to make an impact." ♻️ Fully recyclable 🌱 Made with organic wool from Norway and Yorkshire 💪 Performs just like traditional balls 🏅 Lasts longer on the court It's time to rethink the way we play and support sustainability on and off the court. #SustainableAthletics #CircularEconomy #ImpactInnovation #RealLeaders #Renewaball Read more in our latest article here 👇 https://lnkd.in/gNqyyTrk

Is People Pleasing Your Leadership Blind Spot? _________________________ Are you unknowingly sabotaging your leadership by trying to please everyone?

In his latest article, Eric reflects on a pivotal moment when he chose acceptance over authenticity in a high-stakes strategy session. It was a wake-up call that many leaders can relate to. People pleasing may seem harmless, but it drains our energy, limits decision-making, and stifles our true potential. Eric encourages leaders to: 🔍 Cultivate self-awareness to recognize people-pleasing patterns 🛑 Set boundaries and prioritize your own needs 💡 Embrace vulnerability to show up authentically "Power isn’t granted; it’s claimed." – Eric Kaufmann Read the full article to explore practical ways to break free from people-pleasing habits and lead with authenticity, courage, and conviction.

🚨 Wildlife Populations Have Declined by 73% Over the Past 50 Years: Urgent Action Needed 🌍 A staggering new report from the World Wildlife Fund, the 2024 Living Planet Report, reveals a 73% average decline in wildlife populations globally from 1970 to 2020. Tracking 5,495 species, the findings show alarming declines across every indicator of nature's health, with freshwater populations suffering the worst losses at 85%. The report highlights how human activities like habitat degradation, overexploitation, and climate change are pushing ecosystems to the brink, threatening to trigger irreversible tipping points if current trends continue. 🌱⚠️ As we approach the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP16) later this month, now is the time for leaders to prioritize sustainable solutions and bold action to reverse this crisis. Read more on the findings and the urgent steps needed to protect our planet.

Reflecting on UNITE 2024, an event that took place just 8 months ago, we're still experiencing a deep sense fulfillment. SO many prolific leaders gathered together for the purpose of growing their impact both as individuals and as a collective. This took many forms. We had CEOs looking to develop their leadership skills. Investors refining their impact capital acumen. Speakers getting on stages and connecting with audiences who actually understood the core of their message. Coaches leading CEOs in need of their skillset and wisdom. It was a combination of the best aspects of these four industries in a way that perfectly complimented each other. As we prepare for UNITE 2025 we're keeping in mind the collective sense of intimacy that many felt 8 months ago. We're here to bring leaders together because we need each other to bring out the best version of whatever it is we set out to create.
