Proud to see our own Ariel Johnson Lin featured as a speaker at The She-Suite Summit, sharing what advocacy, preparation, and purpose-driven leadership really look like. At 7k, we don’t just talk about impact—we build it through people like Ariel who continue to move with intention and help redefine what leadership in sports and culture can be. Tap in to hear her take on the power of being ready when your name is called. #7kBrandArchitects?#WeAre7k?|?#ElevateTheUnder
You don’t have to meet every requirement to be ready—what matters most is being prepared when the opportunity shows up. And more often than not, it’s the relationships we cultivate—not just our résumés—that open those doors. ? Grateful to the The She-Suite Summit for holding space to reflect on what it means to lead with intention—and especially to my first boss, Melissa Dawn Simkins, for setting the tone early on. Her people-first leadership style continues to shape how I show up today. ? Preparation matters. But the relationships we nurture along the way? That’s what makes the moment meaningful.
