Sisters. Champions. Hall of Famers. Karen and Donna Smyers have made triathlon history again and again, and we are excited to welcome them to TBL! Karen Smyers, a professional triathlete for 26 years, has won the Ironman World Championship four times, as well as several other championship titles, including ITU, National Pro Champ, and Pan American Championships. Donna Smyers, currently the Super Sprint World Champion, set the IM Lake Placid Bike Course Record in 2000, was the USAT Triathlon Olympic Age Group National Champion 5 x and USA Triathlon Sprint Age Group National Champion in 2023, and won the IM World Champion Age Group 1st place in Kona, among other achievements. It's clear that they were born to be champions! They began their triathlon journeys in the 1980s and witnessed many changes in the sport, from gear to nutrition. However, one thing remains the same: we still have the opportunity to tri. The Smyer sisters are the only siblings inducted into the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame. Karen won championships as a professional, and Donna as an Age Grouper. This episode is a must-listen, and we are honored to have them join us!

𝑯𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒖𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔, 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆❗ Age is just a number. Older professionals are self-motivated and disciplined in perfecting their craft. They are excellent candidates for the workplace. They bring wisdom and experience and can be mentors to younger employees. They can extrapolate and fill in gaps in knowledge because they have years of experience to draw upon. And they don't need hand holding; they are resourceful. They are motivated to contribute and be relevant in today's world. Other nations value and respect their seniors but in the U.S. we discard our seniors. This thinking has to change as we have a tsunami of baby boomers who are mentally and physically fit and eager to keep on working. Let's employ them and pair them with younger workers who can learn from them. I specialize in transitioning late career, mature professionals and senior executives, either advance or reinvent their careers.

People are my passion; Technology is my platform. 💛💛💛 CEO @ PCA Technology Solutions | CISSP Little Rock | Dallas
I'm going to focus my posts this week on #coaching. After all, I've learned this past year that it can mean a lot of things. What exactly does it mean to me? ⛹♂️ Arkansas State University point guard Derrian Ford describes it well in this video when he talks about basketball and cybersecurity. The short answer? In IT, there are a lot of Xs and Os that won't help you succeed. Don't be fooled by them. 🃏 Find a #technology firm to partner with that brings your business the winning playbook. That's how winners win. #YourITcoach #PCAknowsIT
What a huge win last night for our friend Derrian Ford up in Jonesboro! Derrian made it look easy while scoring 15 points, grabbing 7 rebounds, and shooting 60% from the three point line! That's why we decided to partner with Derrian to discuss how ANY team can develop a winning approach. Watch now! 👇👇👇 https://bit.ly/3NSRDVE

Imagine having a conversation with your peers and you asked them about Michele Jordan, Lebron James, Larry Bird, Mia Hamm, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, etc and they responded with "who"? You would be flabbergasted, wouldn't you? This is how I feel when I talk about the great Major Taylor. A man that doesn't get the recognition he deserves. His story inspired me in more ways than I can explain. I was competing in the road world championships, 100 years after Major won his first world title in 1899. Check out this doc to learn more. https://lnkd.in/gZbx_HDG
