Hi Reader,

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!

MY RECENT BOOK REVIEW

The Gospel of Wellness: Gyms, Gurus, Goop, and the False Promise of Self-Care

There are a few books that I've read and I decided I MUST have a discussion group about them - The Confidence Code, Presence, and THIS ONE. WOW. Rina Raphael discusses a lot of what's wrong and a little of what's right about the wellness industry. How much of it is marketing and we want to believe the hype so much that we will believe the most ridiculous things. We don't want to trust our own doctors, but yet we'll trust a health influencer with no science background who is likely hawking products? I have worked in some form in the wellness industry since 1994 and even I have been sucked into things that I knew logically couldn't be true, but if enough people said it, how could it not? I look back and am embarrassed at what our industry touted and trained. I also trusted people and organizations (Dirty Dozen anyone?) who I've learned have significant financial stakes in what they are saying, but because of incredible marketing, I just bought the hype.I took 31 pages of notes. BUY THIS BOOK!

MY FAVORITE THING RIGHT NOW

Charity Miles' new plug-in.

I'm not a Microsoft user, but many of my clients are. Charity Miles has created a plug-in that works with Outlook and Teams to make it easy to schedule walking meetings with a single click! This tells others in the meeting it's okay to walk and embeds the idea of walking meetings into your scheduling routine. This clearly signals that your company encourages walking meetings as part of its culture.
