2025 was a challenging year for many entrepreneurs selling to corporate clients—but there's so much hope for 2026.  The sales landscape is shifting: AI and social media aren't silver bullets, and relying on content won't cut it. What really matters now is having a best-practice sales process, accountability, and meaningful human connections.  Companies are spending more on external providers, and there are huge opportunities ahead. If you want consistent B2B sales next year, it's time to ditch shortcuts and focus on proven, proactive strategies. 2026 has the potential to be your best year yet if you adapt and take action now!   November is here but before you switch off for Christmas, let's talk about how you can turn 2026 into your best year for landing corporate clients—no matter how turbulent 2025 has felt. Why Was 2025 So Tough?  This year threw lots of curveballs - personal challenges, market surprises, and a general sense that everything took more effort than ever.  Sound familiar?  You're not alone.  But here's the good news: there are real reasons behind the difficulties, and knowing them lets you make smart moves for next year. Big Market Shifts You Need to Know The Complacency Trap: If you coasted on strategies that worked in previous years, you may have hit a plateau. The trick for 2026? Higher accountability, renewed motivation, and getting back to best practice sales activities. It's not about fancy advanced strategies-it's about consistency and nailing the basics. The AI Dilemma: AI was meant to make life easier, but in sales, it's created more problems than it solved-damaging communication skills, critical thinking, and even self-confidence. Companies want real people who offer real expertise, not just AI-generated solutions. For next year, human connection is a premium asset. Social Media Fatigue: LinkedIn reach is down and content alone isn't landing corporate deals. It's time to ditch content-first approaches and embrace proactive, measurable sales activities. If you're tired of posting for engagement that doesn't convert-this is your sign. B2C Burnout & Revenue Squeeze: Selling to individual consumers is harder than ever, especially with incoming tax changes (like the UK's rumored VAT threshold drop). Smart entrepreneurs are moving toward B2B and corporate sales, which means more competition-but also more opportunity for those with the best processes. Here's the Hope for 2026 Permanent headcount in organisations is down, but spend on external providers is up. More companies are looking for outside consultants, trainers, and service providers than ever before—and paying them higher average deal values. Repeat business is rising, and if you can master your sales process now, 2026 has the potential to be your best year yet. What Should You Do? Drop the haphazard stuff and shortcuts. Embrace a best practice sales process—focus on accountability, motivation and measurable lead generation. Be direct and clear in your communications. No more vague networking "chats"- every interaction should demonstrate your value. Don't rely on AI for sales conversations or strategy. Build your expertise and confidence. Get ready for increased competition from B2C entrepreneurs jumping to B2B. The winners will be those who stand out with credibility and process. Need support getting your sales process in shape?

In this episode, Lev Natan explores the idea that the personal and professional are inseparable, especially in a time of global turbulence and deep transformation.

Speaking from the trail along the Housatonic River, Lev invites listeners to reclaim their full humanity in service of meaningful leadership and a regenerative future.______Rooted in ancient wisdom, we are growing a partnership culture for our regenerative future.www.avf.earth

In the spring of 1980, nine-year-old Bridget Crocker, while playing next to her home river, fell from a downed tree into the cold swollen Snake River — a scary swim that initiated a deep, lifelong relationship with rivers and river people. This year in 2025 her memoir “The River's Daughter” traces a thalweg of traumas, challenges and joys that played out in both her river life and her family life. Today Bridget hosts retreats and workshops on rivers, guides on special occasions, and is creating her dream life with her family. GUESTBridget CrockerInstagramBookAudio Book RELATED EPISODES FROM THE RIVER RADIUSSexual Harassment in River Guide CultureQueer River Guiding; 1 Professional's ExperienceTools for the River GuideRiver Guide UnionsEndless Summer 1: The Guide LifeEndless Summer 2: A Guide's SunsetEndless Summer 3: Guiding with a Healing Intention ORGANIZATIONS FROM EPISODEA DashAmerica OutdoorsRiver Management SocietyResponder AllianceWhale FoundationRedside Foundation  SPONSORS THE RIVER RADIUSWebsiteRunoff signup (episode newsletter)InstagramFacebookApple PodcastSpotifyLink Tree

In this episode of The Genesis Frequency, Dr. Stephen J. Kosmyna explores the true power of attitude—not as simple positivity, but as the integrated alignment of thought, feeling, and action. When your inner state is fragmented, your results reflect that fragmentation. But when your inner atmosphere aligns with your vision, you gain momentum, clarity, and confidence.Stephen shares practical insight into how attitude forms the energetic signature that shapes your experience in life, business, relationships, purpose, and growth. You'll learn how to identify the knowing–doing gap, how to shift the emotional climate you carry, and how to embody the version of yourself who already has what you desire.This episode is a call to step into full personal responsibility, empowered self-awareness, and conscious transformation — and to recognize that lasting attitude alignment happens best with guidance, structure, and support.Takeaways:Your attitude is the integration of thoughts, feelings, and actionsResults reflect attitude — not the other way aroundShifting theinner atmospherechanges external experienceSupport and structured coaching accelerate growth and alignmentLearn more - Listen NowProduced by:Dr. Koz (and effect!)Dr. Stephen J.

Hear from Judson Berkey, Managing Director in the Chief Sustainability Office at UBS, as we learn first-hand how banks are approaching nature risk. Within finance, nature is usually treated as background: important, but invisible. However, that is beginning to change. New frameworks, regulations, and expectations are emerging worldwide, and many firms are starting to measure their impacts and dependencies on nature. In this episode, we explore how that shift is happening from the perspective of someone inside one of the world's largest banks. We discuss: Which lessons from climate disclosure apply to nature, and which do not; Why some regulatory approaches to ESG-type topics are more effective than others; and The importance of not waiting for perfect data before taking action.

What if everyone had access to a doula, no matter their income? In this episode, Dr. Dekker talks with Amy Chen, Senior Attorney at the National Health Law Program (NHeLP), about the growing movement to make doula care accessible through Medicaid and insurance coverage.   Amy shares how her personal birth experiences inspired her work advocating for Medicaid reimbursement for doulas and explains how more than 20 states (and counting) are now implementing or expanding coverage.

This episode continues our coverage of the Ozark Mountain Bigfoot Conference, recorded live in October 2025. In this session, we feature David Zigan's presentation on professionalism and evidence standards in Bigfoot research—but not before the audience gets a dose of laughter and behind-the-scenes fun from Ryan “RPG”, who kicks things off with twenty minutes of hilarious stories from his time working on Finding Bigfoot.Once the laughter fades, David takes the stage to deliver a fascinating and insightful talk on how rigorous documentation, forensic protocols, and transparent methodology can elevate Bigfoot research to a new level of credibility. Drawing from his experience as a crime scene investigator, David explains how applying professional investigative practices—like maintaining field journals, photographing tracks from multiple angles, and preserving evidence correctly—can help bridge the gap between curiosity and scientific acceptance.With humor, honesty, and a deep respect for the subject, this presentation highlights why raising standards in Bigfoot research is essential for moving the field forward. Whether you're a seasoned investigator or simply fascinated by the legend, this session offers both practical tools and thought-provoking perspective.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

At 50, I thought my body was broken. I knew everything about nutrition, but nothing was working anymore. In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Heather Awad, MD, a family doctor and certified coach, helps professional women in perimenopause and menopause lose weight without counting or deprivation. Learn why kindness precedes confidence, how insulin resistance shifts at midlife, and why moving from grazing to real meals restores energy, focus, and leadership clarity.  Professional photos can be retaken. But kindness and confidence can start today.   What You Will Learn: Why eating less and moving more, does absolutely nothing during perimenopause, revealing that something fundamentally different is happening in the body. The moment at age 50 of wondering if the body was broken and questioning how someone with extensive nutrition knowledge could be failing at weight management. How combining an understanding of the biology and nutrition of menopause with coaching to address emotional eating made weight loss simple and sustainable. Why many professional women including those in corporate leadership hold themselves back from seeking promotions or starting businesses because they feel their body isn't under control. The critical distinction that mindset work and being kind to yourself is a completely separate track from getting your body under control or losing weight. How kindness to yourself is the precursor to confidence, and that being kind doesn't cost anything except intention and time unpacking the parts of yourself that don't want to be kind. The fundamental difference between the weight loss world that asks us to work hard, measure, and count calories, versus nutrition that can be simple and nourishing without ever going hungry or counting anything. How our culture has normalized overeating to the point where having a stomach ache after meals seems normal. Why this meal-based eating pattern helps with the natural bump in insulin resistance that comes at menopause. The biological reality that when estrogen drops during menopause, it affects the entire body including digestive hormones. Why insulin resistance means the body suddenly needs much more insulin just to process the same food. Why grazing becomes the default feeding pattern during intense parenting years. Why nourishing your body becomes increasingly important at midlife.   Connect with Heather Awad, MD Website   Connect with Anjel B.

This week, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor sit down with Elizabeth Watson and Jane Allen Wilson from the North Carolina Victim Assistance Network for one of the most important conversations in veterinary medicine. Domestic violence affects far more veterinary professionals than most realize, yet it remains one of the least discussed workplace safety issues. Research shows that an estimated 1 in 5 women will experience some form of violence by a partner in their lifetime; chances are, someone listening is facing it right now.  Through candid discussion, the guests explain how to recognize warning signs in colleagues, clients, and even animal patients. They describe how abusers often isolate victims and use pets as tools of control, why victims hesitate to seek help, and what veterinarians and managers can do when they suspect abuse. The episode explores the practical and legal steps clinics can take, from safety planning to protective orders, to safeguard team members and their clients. This episode challenges the profession to view domestic violence as both a personal and a workplace concern, urging listeners to foster safer and more supportive veterinary environments. If someone needs confidential support, whether they need help right away or want to have someone to talk to and process with and process privately and safely, they can call, text, or chat with someone here: The National Domestic Violence Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org/ Additional resources, support, and information can be found here: - NCCADV - North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence - North Carolina Victim Assistance Network: https://nc-van.org/ - National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: https://ncadv.org/do-you-think-youre-being-abused - National Network to End Domestic Violence: https://nnedv.org/get-help/more-information/ - Directory of each state and territory's state domestic violence coalitions: https://nnedv.org/content/state-u-s-territory-coalitions/ #VeterinaryPodcast #VetMed #VetClinicLife #DomesticViolenceAwareness #SupportSurvivors #SafeWorkplace #VeterinaryLeadership #MentalHealthInVetMed #VeterinaryWellbeing #VetMedStrong #DVAM2025
