Wait a minute – That wasn’t the plan

Summer is here—a season full of energy, possibilities, plenty of heat, and the potential for storms. The soaring temperatures serve as a reminder that, just like weather forecasts, even our best predictions about the future can change unexpectedly.

Recent global events—from shifting trade relationships to emerging conflicts and evolving monetary policies—remind us that even the best strategies sometimes need adjustment.
