Plan Your 2026:

Hosted by Ivory Hecker
& Alana Newman.

What to Expect:

2026 will be a year filled with more information, more noise, and more voices competing for attention.

For journalists, media personalities, public experts, and trusted commentators, this creates both pressure and opportunity.

The people who rise next year won’t be the loudest — they’ll be the clearest.
The ones who value truth, communicate with confidence, and protect the freedom to share their expertise without hesitation.

But here’s the challenge: most public voices are heading into 2026 without a real plan.
No clear message.
No visibility strategy.
No system for capturing opportunities or converting attention into meaningful growth.

So when interviews pop up… they scramble.
When the spotlight hits… they’re missing the assets that support their credibility.
When conference invitations come through (if they even do)… they’re unprepared.

It’s not about working harder.
It’s about being ready,  with leverage.

The professionals who are prepared — the ones who know their message, their positioning, their relationships, and their high-leverage opportunities — stand out immediately.
They appear grounded.
They speak with authority.
They get called back, recommended, and remembered.

2026 rewards the voices who plan ahead — who anchor themselves in truth, protect their freedom to speak clearly, say what they mean and show up with intention.

This workshop is designed to help you enter the year with confidence:
What to focus on.
Where to show up.
Which opportunities matter.
Who to build relationships with.
And what assets you need so your visibility actually supports your career, your mission, and your integrity.

This isn’t about hype.
It’s about clarity.
It’s about preparation.
It’s about stepping into 2026 as a confident, trusted messenger in a year where the world will need steady voices more than ever.
