2026: THE YEAR OF ALIGNMENT

What does alignment mean to you?

To me, alignment is about clarity. It’s the moment when who you are, what you stand for, and where you’re going all start moving in the same direction. It’s whenvision, values, and action stop competing with each other and begin working together.

As we step into 2026, alignment is the word guiding my focus.

Inside F.P. Horak, that means intentionally aligning our company values, our goals,and our processes. It means taking a hard look at what truly matters, what drives impact, and what supports the long-term health of our business and ourpeople.

When a company is aligned, something powerful happens. Decision-making becomes simpler. Priorities become clearer. Teams understand not just what they’re working on, but why they’re working on it. Alignment reduces friction, removes unnecessary complexity, and creates consistency across the organization.

Most importantly, alignment creates trust — trust within teams, trust with clients,and trust in the direction of the company.

This work isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about building a strong foundation. It’s about ensuring that our growth is intentional, our culture is protected, andour operations support the level of service and creativity our clients expect from us.

But alignment doesn’t stop at the office.

I believe alignment is just as important in our personal lives.

It shows up in how we spend our time. In the boundaries we set. In the commitments we say yes to — and the ones we choose to walk away from. Personal alignment is about making sure our energy is going toward the people, goals, and experiences that matter most.

When our personal values align with our daily choices, we feel more grounded. More focused. More capable of showing up as our best selves — at work, at home, and in our communities.

In 2026,I’m committed to pursuing alignment in both arenas: building clarity and cohesion inside F.P. Horak, and continuing to seek alignment in my own life.

Because when things are aligned, momentum follows. Growth feels purposeful. And progress becomes sustainable.

So I’ll leave you with this:

How can you better align your business in 2026?
And how can you better align your personal life to support the growth you’re seeking?
