What's coming in 2026 🔮

Hello from holiday limbo! 👋

If you’re sitting down to work on your master plans for 2026, my last newsletter was a treasure trove of networking tips and tricks.

Today’s email is more “note” than “newsletter.” ✍️

First, my sincerest gratitude to everyone who read the 26,600+ words I wrote this year! (Thanks for that metric, Beehiiv Rewind). I deeply appreciate the feedback, engagement, new connections, and for forwarding these emails to friends (I'm ending with nearly twice as many subscribers!) You're helping accelerate networking's paradigm shift.

Second, I want to share what’s coming in the year ahead because it is too exciting not to tease here…

1) A guidebook to future-proof your networking 📓🤖🤝

If you loved my 10 Trends for the Future of Networking, you'll love this action-oriented guidebook. It introduces new AI tools, explains real-world applications, and shows you how to measure success. You'll learn to apply my networking tips and use the best AI available to turn your network into a valuable asset in 2026.

2) Our 2026 Executive Event Series 💼🥃🤝

In 2026, we’ll be hosting private executive events in Miami, NYC and Chicago. These invite-only rooms serve one purpose: for our elite network of executives to meet each other and grow their own networks.

👉 If you’re interested in an invite, click here to register your interest.

☝️ If you want a VIP seat at the table, we offer just 2 spots for priority partner companies. If you want a no-lift opportunity to tap into our network of executives while advancing your business goals, hit ‘reply’ to inquire.

3) A new website 🔥

We’re leveling up mbd-partners.com in the new year and it won’t just look sexier, it’s going to offer a lot of resources you can capitalize on.

And that’s a wrap for 2025!

I’ll be kicking off the new year sharing insights from recent client engagements. Stay tuned to learn all about the wild success of our Networking OS™ in practice!

Wishing you, your family, and your network a very Happy New Year,

With gratitude,

Nicole
