Nimble Up Proudly Sponsors the 2026 Enactus United States Expo

At Nimble Up, we believe organizations and the people inside them do their best work when clarity, intention, and humanity come together. That is why we are proud to sponsor this year’s Enactus United States Expo.

If you are not familiar with Enactus, it is a global nonprofit that brings together student, academic, and business leaders to create a better, more sustainable world through entrepreneurial action. Students form teams on college campuses and develop real-world projects that address social, economic, and environmental challenges in their communities. The work is hands-on, measurable, and designed to create lasting impact.

Each year, that work culminates at the Enactus United States Expo, where top teams from across the country gather to present their projects, share results, and compete for the opportunity to advance to the World Cup. The Expo is more than a competition; it is a convergence of ideas, innovation, and purpose-driven leadership.

As I write this, I am in Denver alongside these teams serving as both a judge and a speaker and I can feel the energy building!

If you are presenting at Expo this week, you might already be feeling the pressure.

I want you to know something: deep breathing is not just a calming ritual. Deep breathing is a cognitive tool.

Taking slow, intentional breaths (think: four seconds in, five seconds out) helps activate executive functioning in your brain. That means sharper problem-solving, clearer decision-making, and more confident responses during Q&A.

One deep breath before you answer a question from a judge can shift everything.

This applies far beyond the Expo stage. Whether you are stepping into a high-stakes presentation, leading a critical meeting, or fielding tough questions from the press, the sequence matters: regulate your nervous system first, respond second.

I am honored to be here, to witness these students’ work, and to support the next generation of leaders creating meaningful impact in our world!

I can’t wait to see what you share.
