The last two weeks have been fully loaded—in the best possible way.

I spoke virtually to the National Speakers Association Hawaii and Northwest Chapters on Super Sexy Speaker Systems, helping speakers implement workflows that let them focus on their business instead of chasing their tails.

I sent out my 16-minute podcast episode, Optimize Conferences: Pre-Event Strategies to Post-Event Follow-Up, to event pros nationwide.

Power tip: Block off the first day back in the office after the conference to follow up with people and organize your next steps. Your brain (and business) will thank you.

It was also a week of accountants! I spoke to over 1,000 number-loving professionals on how to Elevate Their Focus and Break Free from Busy. We tackled that end-of-day “I worked all day and I don't know what I did...” feeling—often caused by switchtasking, not slacking. If you're using two monitors with your inbox or chat open on one, you’re not multitasking... you’re brain-fatiguing. When I write, I often move to a different spot and work from a single screen to regain focus.

I wrapped it up by delivering Email Extinguisher to 250 people battling notification overload. (Spoiler: Notifications aren’t there to make you productive—they’re there to make you use the tool more.)

Then it was off to Columbia, South Carolina, to keynote for MPI Carolinas on how Meeting Pros can Reclaim Their Workday. These behind-the-scenes magicians are often so busy supporting others that they forget to take even one minute for themselves. I gave them permission—and a plan—to breathe.

On the RaderCo front, we officially launched our brand-new, custom-built coaching platform: the RaderCo PowerHub!—It’s our new home for scheduling, communication, habits, and tracking progress. We built it to make coaching simpler, smoother, and more powerful.

And for some personal highlights? My brother visited, and we packed in sensory-deprivation tanks, 18 miles of hiking, pedicures, and the Pee-Wee Herman documentary (delightfully colorful & wonderful). Oh—and we bought a new car!

After falling in love with a gas-powered hybrid in New Zealand, we replaced our trusty 2008 Element with a 2020 Honda CR-V hybrid and jumped from 18 to 40 MPG. Woohoo!

When you get this, I'll still be at the MPI conference learning about smart AI strategies. (Have you listened to my podcast about AI being like Botox?)​

On with the Weekender!
