and suddenly the job feels completely different.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p aria-hidden="true"&gt;The expectations are higher.&lt;br /&gt;
The decisions carry more weight.&lt;br /&gt;
And the entire organization is looking to you for direction.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p aria-hidden="true"&gt;Many leaders respond the way they always have &amp;mdash; by working harder, staying busier, and trying to solve every problem.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p aria-hidden="true"&gt;But at the executive level,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;that approach no longer works.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p aria-hidden="true"&gt;In fact, nearly&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;40% of newly promoted executives fail within their first 18 months&lt;/strong&gt;, often because they were never taught how leadership expectations change at the executive level.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p aria-hidden="true"&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s why I created a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;FREE&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;upcoming workshop:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Attention Newly Promoted Executives: The Rules Have Changed!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;3 Shifts You Must Make to Be Strategic &amp;mdash; Not Just Busy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p aria-hidden="true"&gt;In this session, I&amp;rsquo;ll walk through the three critical leadership shifts that allow executives to move from reacting to everything&amp;hellip; to leading strategically.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p aria-hidden="true"&gt;We&amp;rsquo;ll cover how to shift:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; From&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Responding to Inputs &amp;rarr; Defining Priorities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull; From&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Solving Problems &amp;rarr; Making Decisions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull; From&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Managing Activity &amp;rarr; Creating Directional Clarity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p aria-hidden="true"&gt;These shifts can dramatically change how effective &amp;mdash; and how sustainable &amp;mdash; executive leadership becomes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p aria-hidden="true"&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re currently in a senior leadership role, or preparing for one, I&amp;rsquo;d love for you to join me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Raleway;"&gt;Join the Muskegon Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce for an elevated evening celebrating the businesses and leaders making a lasting impact across our community at the 2026 Business Excellence Awards.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Raleway;"&gt;Held at the VanDyk Mortgage Convention Center, this upscale celebration honors outstanding organizations in Manufacturing, Tourism/Hospitality, Retail, Service, and Employer of Choice. Each recipient represents excellence in innovation, growth, community impact, and commitment to people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Raleway;"&gt;New this year, the &lt;strong&gt;Entrepreneur of the Year&lt;/strong&gt; category will feature three finalists recognized for their vision and resilience, with the winner announced live during the ceremony.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Raleway;"&gt;Guests are invited to arrive in business/cocktail attire and enjoy a pre-ceremony happy hour before the awards begin. Throughout the evening, attendees will hear the stories behind each recipient, connect with fellow Chamber and community members, and toast to the achievements shaping a vibrant Muskegon Lakeshore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Raleway;"&gt;Celebrate success. Build connections. Experience The Art of Business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
