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 last personal note for 2025... I'm in Scottsdale for five days as the chair of the Certified Speaking Professionals Summit. About 140 speakers will gather in groups of nine to mastermind for two full days. All of my Speakers With Impact Mastermind will be there, and we'll stay longer and have our end-of-year meeting. My mastermind (and fellow CSPs®), Kevin Snyder, Justin Jones-Fosu, Marcey Rader (me), Raven Solomon, and Stan Phelps. What’s a mastermind? A small group that meets regularly...

Heading into the home stretch with a very full heart (and still without a kitchen). Elevating Focus with Dr. Shannon Pointer at the SCHCHA in Greenville, SC Two talks with the South Carolina Home Care & Hospice Association to elevate their focus. These folks care for our loved ones when it’s hardest. Know one? Thank them—extra. Many hands-on caregivers struggled when SNAP funds dipped; they’re doing the "holy" work and still need our support. Downtown Greenville’s riverwalk was a personal...
