Athena

What does it take to change what’s possible? For us, it means mastering the skills that outlast the moment. And that’s exactly what Day 2 of Ascend 3.0 delivered: A masterclass in scaling trust, creating real strategic value, and negotiating for long-term success. Add in the superpowers of continuous learning, foresight, confidence, and freedom, and you have the blueprint for building lasting impact. Because the strongest legacies are designed, not left to chance.

Partnership Managers bring flexibility, focus, and presence into everything they do. At Athena, this role means balancing service delivery with team leadership to build stronger relationships with both members and employees. #LifeAtAthena

At the heart of Athena is a culture of wellness. We believe people achieve more when they’re well mentally, physically, and emotionally. This week, that belief came to life through health checks. Here’s what we’re doing: building habits that prevent burnout, fuel productivity, sharpen focus, and sustain ambition. We rest with intention because the work ahead deserves our best. Thriving at work shouldn’t cost your health, it should be fueled by it. What does prioritizing wellness look like for you? Let us know in the comments.

Leadership lesson from Krupa Playforth, MD: You don’t have to do it all to do it well. It takes humility to admit you’re not the best person for every task.

Leadership lesson from Sahra Nguyen: If you want to grow, you have to let go. She built Nguyen Coffee Supply from scratch—roasting, packing, and delivering every bag herself.
