RaderCo - Weekender Snapshot


Exciting news for RaderCo!

Over the last few months, clients have been calling me their performance coach, and RaderCo has been referred to as a performance coaching company. Why? Because we’re so much more than productivity.

With our team of specialists in strengths & leadership, digital wellness, tech tools, stress & resilience, and culture & belonging, we elevate productivity to true high performance.

So we’re officially rebranding to what we’ve already been delivering—a high-performance consulting company specializing in relentless prioritization for sustainable success. After input from my mastermind, branding specialists, a trusted business friend, and top clients, the answer was unanimous—it feels right.

Three Design Days at the *cottage gave me time to dive into AI and create custom GPTs, write new website copy, all with a goal of a complete refresh by the end of September.

What changes for you? Nothing—except messaging that finally fits what we’ve been doing all along.

I also attended Ali Ingersoll’s book launch for Unbreakable(ish): I Wasn’t Built for Boring. Ali is a “dark humor enthusiast & professional quadriplegic,” a powerhouse advocate, keynote speaker, and one of the most amazing humans I know. I am truly honored to call her my friend and can't wait to read about her being babysat by Michael Jackson, living in the Playboy Mansion, and translating her own surgery in China.


Labor Day weekend was filled with walkie-talkies, coffee, disc golf, mountain biking, dinner with friends, and finishing Leanne Morgan’s audiobook What in the World. If you want a laugh-out-loud, feel-good listen, she’s a favorite.

On the speaking front, I helped accountants nationwide Break Free From Busy. Someone asked if I schedule time outside my inbox.

My reply? “I schedule time to be in my inbox.”

Mic drop.


When you get this, I’ll be heading out the door to the Hopscotch Music Festival in Raleigh—celebrating my birthday with a weekend of music and friends...making sure I do something a little bit dangerous, and very indulgent.

On with the Weekender!

NCACPA

Such a fun two weeks! NCACPA superstars Amy Goodman and Linda Dodd in Asheville. I drove to one of my favorite U.S. cities—Asheville—to speak for NCACPA at the historic Grove Park Inn. Bonus: I saw two former clients, caught up with another in town, and even squeezed in a wild turkey sighting (missed a bear by seconds—not sad about it!) My happy feedback from conference attendees.
