Success in any career—whether in sports, entertainment, or business—comes down to leadership, decision-making, and knowing how to stand out. In high-pressure environments, the ability to adapt, lead with integrity, and make career-defining moves can separate good professionals from great ones.
Join us for an exclusive fireside chat with Dan Ventrelle, former President of the Las Vegas Raiders and EVP of Talent at WWE, as he shares lessons from leading at the highest levels of competition.
This engaging discussion will cover:
- How to lead under pressure – What it takes to manage teams, talent, and high-profile decisions.
- Breaking through in your career – How professionals can get noticed, earn opportunities, and advance.
- Making career transitions – Lessons from Dan's move from the NFL to WWE and beyond.
- Ethical leadership & tough decisions – Navigating challenges with integrity and confidence.
- Lessons from elite athletes & executives – What top performers do differently to succeed.
Why You Should Attend:
You'll gain actionable insights to apply in your own career—whether you're an early-career professional looking to stand out or a mid-career leader aiming to level up.
Co-hosted by Young Catholic Professionals & the Notre Dame Club of Fairfield County, this is a unique opportunity to learn from a top executive while connecting with ambitious professionals like you.
