The Post

📣 "Great leaders can stand strong in their principles when the wind is whipping around them. It sounds easy to talk about but when you're in a crisis situation, you need to be very clear on what matters most to you as a leader." - Mary Wittenberg The Post's 2024 Summit was full of insights just like this one from our panelists. During "The Future of Leadership," session, Mary Wittenberg, GM and Board Member, Let's Do This and Nada Usina, CEO and Co-Founder, NU Advisory Partners gave the audience a lot to think about when discussing their journeys to becoming leaders and how being an athlete translates into the business world.

It’s hard to believe that two weeks have already passed since concluding my time in NYC at The Post Annual Summit. I’ve waited and waited…. and then waited some more. I’ve attempted to put pen to paper over and over again, with the right words to describe my experience, but If I’m honest, I still can’t seem to find them. How can one even attempt to do justice to something that feels so simple yet monumental at the same time? ✅To say the panelists were top notch would be an understatement! ✅The information shared and exchanges throughout the week both thought provoking and reinvigorating. ✅The Pickleball tournament: competitive and amusing…and rigged (Team 1, am I right?!) ✅And don’t get me started on the NYC views from the top deck on the Hudson. Breathtaking. In my twelve years since retiring from the US Women’s National Team and Professional women’s soccer altogether, I had found it nearly impossible to replicate the locker room and community feeling that my life was built around as an athlete for 25 years. I chalked it up to a loss. It was just a time in my life that couldn’t be replicated. How very wrong I was! The core element of any environment is and will always be the people. The Community. But true sense of community is not something easily found. We must seek it out… Take a chance… Say yes to opportunity… Commit to it… Stay in it! But don’t stop there…Nurture it. 🌱 I’ve always known it…I just wasn’t living it. Summit NYC 2024 was a jumpstart for me. A revival of the fire that I knew was inside. A renewal of my spirit. A rebirth of a desire to have  even greater impact on the world. A refocus of sorts. It was the intangibles that spoke so loudly during my week in New York City. Understandable then why the impact is indescribable. One word to describe the 2024 Post Summit….? Grateful. The Post Christian Ponder

🎙️ The Post founder Christian Ponder recently sat down with Charles "Peanut" Tillman and Roman Harper on the NFL Players Second Acts Podcast to talk about his most memorable NFL moments, the life lessons he learned from football, and his journey from pro athlete to entrepreneur and business leader. Some of our biggest takeaways from this podcast: ➡️ The transition from pro sports to business was harder than expected--especially losing that sense of team and community 💪 The Post was inspired by wanting to recreate that locker room feeling 🏆 Don't shed the athlete identity. The traits and soft skills that make someone a great athlete are the same ones that make them a great business leader 🏈 In pro football, Christian learned that it's not enough to just work hard: you have to put in the effort in the specific areas you need to improve on Listen to the rest of this interview here >> https://lnkd.in/d_eay_mD If you're a former athlete in the business world seeking a community of like-minded leaders, apply today to become a member of The Post >> https://lnkd.in/eCfEjkmp #AthleteEntrepreneurs #nationalcommunity #membership #community #AthletesinBusiness #LeadersBuiltBySport #Community
