RaderCo - Weekender Snapshot
I'm ready for spring!Last weekend my handy husband finished building our two-level deck. Bring on the outdoor gatherings! I'm on the advisory board for the Raleigh Founded co-working space and regularly host BYOB events where eight people get together and answer business, career, personal, and funny questions from me. Ice-breakers that make you want to learn more and ask questions you wouldn't usually ask when first meeting someone, like 'What's your worst ever fashion choice? or 'If you could have anyone in the world as your client who would you choose and why?' I was joined by fellow board member Dr. Leon Adelman of Ivy Clinicians. Note: This is a fabulous fashion choice for St. Patrick's Day! Friends Lisa, Wendy, and I went to the Raleigh Roasts coffee bash. We sampled brews for about an hour, or long enough for me to get seriously jacked and speed-clean my house that afternoon. One of the companies we support is 321 coffee, staffed by individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. You can learn more about them here! I taught over 1100 accountants how to work well remotely and shrink their inboxes through the CPA Academy. I was thrilled when they asked if the Powered Path Playbook™ could be a resource on their site. They recognize the value and I know how empowering it could be for a CPA. "I've scheduled and taken 8+ CPE sessions over the last 2 weeks and this was the most interesting and helpful one. Sure, others are more technical and important to my profession. Still, I found this session valuable since I'm constantly spammed with emails and messages. I can't reply to them quickly enough. I'm taking away several good pointers." I met RaderCo Mindfulness Specialist Amanda Chay at Social Impact Community Day for a walkie-talkie to discuss The Gospel of Wellness (book review below). It was a fast walk because we were so excited and animated to discuss what we read! I want all my friends to read it so I can discuss it more! When you get this, I'll be finishing a hike with friend, client, and Vistage Chair Janet Boudreau and working a little early on my reflections for my quarterly date with Lilly Ferrick to go over our Powered Path Playbook™ questions. Who are you reflecting with on your biggest brags, lessons earned, and smartest decisions? If your answer is no one - you are not alone in missing out on this valuable, career advancing practice. All good, we got you. We're on a mission to eliminate this knowledge deficit and get everyone there, one playbook at a time! On with the Weekender!

RaderCo - Health-Powered Productivity
Do the right things first. Twice a month I send one prioritization practice you can use that week, plus the Health-Powered Productivity podcast, the reading, and what I'm learning on the road.
When one person reads a book about prioritization, they get better at prioritizing. When a team reads it, they get a shared vocabulary for sharing guardrails. That's why the pocket guide is small. It's built to be handed out, carried, and pulled out in a meeting when someone needs a word for what's actually going wrong. Ability. The person you promoted who's drowning. They knew how to prioritize their own work, never a team's, and assuming that skill transfers is how strong technical people...
Think about a priority you keep restarting. A health habit. A relationship. A project that stays at the top of the list and never gets the time. There are three reasons it stalls, and they look identical from the outside. You don't know how. You don't have the room. You're not the one deciding. The Right Things First: A Pocket Guide to Relentless Prioritization is out today, along with the mini-keynote I recorded in Austin, which is the whole argument in 14 minutes. Why it matters:...
A client of mine broke her foot. Boot, crutches, six weeks, couldn't drive. Suddenly she had more room for her priorities than she'd had in years. She still couldn't get to them. She needed rides and help, and she waited on whoever had room in their week to give it. Someone else was running her schedule. That's an agency problem. Most prioritization advice treats every stall the same way, try harder, and that only fixes one of three. Why it matters: A priority doesn't rise unless something...
