Ruben Mejia Of SportsArt America On The 5 Things You Need To Create A Highly Successful Career In The Health and Wellness Industry

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 5, 2022 –

…to be a successful leader you need to love what you do. Let’s face it if you don’t love what you do it’s work and work sucks. When you’re excited about your career, you don’t think about the effort and time you’re putting in every day. It’s not a struggle; you love the outcome of what your task is. As a leader in particular, when you love what you do, your passion wears off on others. Your employees begin to exude the same passionate energy.

How Clubs Are Staying Ahead of the Sustainability Curve

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 5, 2022 –

Green initiatives and operating sustainably are not new topics, but, driven by both the government and corporate sectors, their profiles have risen rapidly in just the past couple of years.

Government & Corporate Interests Align

“For example, governments around the globe are taking steps to lower their carbon footprints,” notes Ruben Mejia, executive vice president, Americas, at SportsArt. “The new administration in the U.S. immediately addressed the need to combat climate change by rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement and by announcing plans to replace the government’s fleet of vehicles with electric ones. California and the UK have implemented mandates that will ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles by 2035 and 2030, respectively.”
