The Next Move Matters
Midway through the first half of 2026, the question is not whether opportunity exists — it does — but whether the next move is the right one.
There is a moment in any climb when the footing gets complicated. The early moves are clear: find a handhold, establish a position, move up. But at some point the path becomes less obvious, the stakes are higher, and the next move requires more deliberate thinking.
That is where a lot of workers, entrepreneurs, and institutions are in the spring of 2026. The early work — finding the program, landing the first job, launching the business — is behind them. The question now is about the second move and the third. About whether the initial position can be a springboard to something more durable and more rewarding.
