The Post

A high-performing team is more than just a group of individuals working together. It's a collective that constantly progresses, evolves, and updates strategies to achieve goals more efficiently and effectively. 🌟 At The Post, we understand the power of teamwork. Our network of leaders is #BuiltBySport, with 100% of our Members having played sports in college, professionally, or at the national or Olympic level. 🏆 We believe that the same principles that create winning teams in sports can be applied to build successful teams in business. 💼 #leadersbuiltbysport #BuiltBySport #success #winningtogether #businessstrategy #team

I found a lot of fulfillment in speaking with the members at The Post this week. We spoke about why success doesn't bring fulfillment--and what does. Namely, helping others! We also spoke about belonging: how to find it, why it’s more important than success, and why we need it to perform as a team. Finally, we spoke about how to maintain performance over time, and why long term consistency trumps short-term intensity. Thanks to Kwame Christian, Esq., M.A. and to Adam Dorsay, Psy.D. for helping me flesh out my ideas on these topics via your podcast interviews the last couple months!

Meet Olivia Vitou, a remarkable example of how athletic excellence translates into business leadership. As Head of Creative for Essentia Water at Nestle, Olivia brings the same passion and versatility from her days as a D1 heptathlete at Ohio University to her role in the corporate world. Olivia's journey from a multi-sport high school athlete to a collegiate javelin thrower and experience leading creative teams for 26 iconic brands at Nestle USA showcases how the skills honed in sports - adaptability, teamwork, and strategic thinking - are invaluable in professional settings. As Olivia says, 'It's simply embracing who you are to the core to be the best person, leader and professional you can be.' Her new role, which involves working with athletic, entertainment, and musical influencers, is a perfect blend of her athletic background and creative expertise. Olivia's story reminds us that the diversity of experiences in sports can lead to unique and powerful perspectives in business leadership. #LeadersBuiltBySport #creativeleaders #brands #AthleteLeaders #ThePost #LeadershipJourney #SportsToBusinessSuccess

How do you level up? As Charles Ruiz suggests, you “find a new Team”. All the Members of The Post network were built by teams. We know that teams help us train differently, play differently, and win differently. #members #BeyondTheScoreboard, #windifferently #teams

While some compete, others observe - both roles have their value. Watching from the sidelines isn't just spectating; it's learning, analyzing, and even finding inspiration. Yet the real magic happens when inspiration turns into action. Those on the court are living what others are learning, facing challenges head-on and growing with every play. In your career, how do you balance learning with taking action? When was the last time you turned inspiration into action? Share your experiences 👇 - whether you're currently observing, participating, or doing both. #Learning #Action #Inspiration #Growth #Challenges #athletes #pickleball #community #leadersbuiltbysport #thepost

We have always been excited to feature and support athlete-founded companies at The Post NYC Clubhouse, which opened last fall. We wanted to showcase another incredible product in action — Hyperice's Normatec boots, a cutting-edge recovery tool used by elite athletes and leaders. Co-founded by Anthony Katz, a former basketball coach, Hyperice aligns with our mission at The Post to support a network of companies and leaders rooted in their backgrounds in sport.
