Business leaders need more than apps: they need allies. AI agents streamline workflows, deliver insights, and help you make confident decisions. Instead of juggling apps and tabs, an agent can build a report, summarize industry news, or forecast outcomes from historical data. And it's all from a single prompt. The win isn’t just speed; it’s better judgment at scale. See how we increased productivity and ROI at the same time with our AI friend, Microsoft Co-Pilot, at https://hubs.ly/Q03Y07q90

In 2026, let's remember that no matter how advanced AI gets, nothing will replace the human element. ❤️ While technology can support us, it's the relationships between leadership and employees that truly drive success. If we do not take care of our people and genuinely listen to their needs and concerns, no cutting-edge system or AI tool can enhance the experience we aim to provide. Our senior leadership team shared their biggest takeaways from 2025 and the priorities they’re setting for the year ahead. Their insights offer a practical roadmap for leaders focused on building strong, resilient teams. Check out what our Chief Sales Officer, Erik Carlsen, says is his focus for the new year.

He shares real-life tactics and what businesses must do to stay ahead and safe. Here are some things you'll take away: 👉 A clear view of how attackers get into business networks 👉 The signs an attack is already underway 👉 Foundational cybersecurity moves you should already have in place if you're serious about protecting your network Too many business leaders still treat cybersecurity like "IT's job."
