As we approach the end of the year, there’s one powerful investment every professional can make—strengthening your personal brand.

Here’s a simple, practical roadmap to help you finish strong and start the new year with momentum.

Executive resumes are changing faster than ever. What impressed hiring leaders in 2020 can feel outdated—or even raise red flags—in 2026.

Today’s executive resume must be part strategic narrative, part business case, and part proof of digital fluency.

As U.S. housing prices continue to climb and affordability tightens, discussions around unconventional mortgage structures—such as 50-year home loans—have resurfaced.
