RaderCo - Weekender Snapshot


Milestone Unlocked: Manuscript Sent!

Last week, I hit send on my book manuscript, kicking it over to the designer for the final polish. A book’s never truly “done” (I’m on version four of Work Well. Play More!), but it’s officially in the formatting pipeline!

Here’s what’s next: cover design, uploading to Amazon, launch team building, marketing strategy, and preparing Reclaim Your Workday Live for teams that want hands-on guidance while reading.

Walking-Talkie: From a birthday stroll with my stylist-bestie Michelle (designer of my speaker reel suit!), a trip to Cary Park (if you're local to the Raleigh-Durham area, you must visit) to 14 miles with my visiting mom, I logged some serious steps. I even shared this tip with a client looking to exercise more: schedule walking meetings! We found four upcoming meetings she can take on foot and added a new habit: kicking off phone calls with a 10-minute walk. For the record, I rarely take a social call without pacing the neighborhood—even delaying calls a day if it's raining.

Meeting Makeovers: Meetings are in the spotlight. This quarter, I’m working with Vertex Pharmaceuticals, RTI International, and Horizon Farm Credit to tackle what employees say is their most unproductive time. After a single laser coaching session, one client sent me a fantastic update on their productivity gains.

Media & Speaking Highlights: This week, I spoke virtually to over 500 people about Working Well and Managing Remotely and recorded four podcast interviews about the new book. Power Tip: Just because virtual meetings have unlimited “seats” doesn’t mean we should fill them with people. Not every decision has to be a consensus.

Your Input Needed: It's time for our annual survey on what you like to see in the Weekender Snapshot. Please click this link for a short survey by 5:00pm on November 5 and be entered to win a copy of my new book, Reclaim Your Workday.

Celebrations Ahead: When you get this, I’ll be on my way to celebrate Lisa’s third anniversary as RaderCo’s Client Concierge with her first sensory deprivation tank experience. Tomorrow’s another walkie-talkie with a friend and then a Halloween fundraiser with Jack the Radio! Check out their newly released video here.

On with the Weekender!

My Little Free Library is finally ready to launch, and I’m ridiculously excited. My handy husband has spent the last month building it, and this weekend we’ll officially open it up to the neighborhood. It’s one of my Top Three personal priorities for the year, so this one feels extra good. To celebrate, I hosted a Books & Banter party with six girlfriends. Everyone brought one book to swap and one to donate, and we answered two questions: What was a pivotal book you read as a child? What’s...

Long lines at the airport last week gave me a timely reminder of a leadership problem I see everywhere at work. Leaders sometimes fix what’s visible instead of what’s broken. The result is just better optics, not better outcomes. There’s a reason this topic is hitting a nerve. Asana reports that knowledge workers spend 60% of their time on “work about work,” and Microsoft reports that employees are interrupted every two minutes by meetings, emails, or pings. That is not a time-management...

You don't need another meeting. You need a message that lands without stealing an hour of focus. Why it matters: • Short async vidoes force clarity and speed decisions. • A single swap can return 26 hours per person per year. What you’ll learn: • When Loom beats a meeting • The five‑part structure that keeps it under five minutes • Weekly swaps to test now • Metrics to track in 30 days Tactics: • Lead with one line: “I am recommending X by Friday because Y.” • Use Loom for tone, visuals, and...
