RaderCo - Weekender Snapshot
Oh, what an electrifying two weeks it's been! ๐ Last week, I had the honor of speaking at the AICPA ENGAGE conference and enlightened minds with Time Power-Ups and Focus Power-Ups. The room was buzzing with energy and how they could create more traction rather than distractions! ๐ Here's the cherry on top - I got to have a heart-to-heart with the dashing Scott Zarret, the big brain behind CPA Academy. Guess what? Your gal here is CPA Academy's top-rated speaker in Personal Development and Business Management categories! Can we get a "WOWEE!!!"? ๐ I've had the pleasure of speaking to over 21,000 accounting professionals through CPA Academy, and my heart swells working with their stellar team. The conference was well-organized, but darling Vegas, you're a bit too glitzy for this gal. I'm not one to gamble, and the Strip, though enchanting, didn't woo me this time around. I preferred my cozy room, where I continued to work (yes, work!) as my preference! ๐๐ป Oh, and let's not forget about Friday! ๐ I raised a mug of Killer Bee latte to celebrate co-10-year business birthdays with my lovely friend and RaderCo Team Specialist, Wendy Gates Corbett! Cheers to us! ๐ฅ I then fluttered over to Charlotte for the NSA Carolinas annual banquet. I reconnected with my mastermind partner and all-around dynamo, Justin Jones-Fosu, CSPยฎ. His speech on bringing meaning to our work left me awe-inspired. ๐ I attended Dr. Willie Jolley's workshop on Saturday, where he spilled the beans on his illustrious speaking career. But let me tell you, the real star was Dee Taylor-Jolley, his fabulous wife. This queen's spirit was contagious โ clapping, laughing, and singing. They are a power couple! ๐คฉ๐ I'm eagerly waiting to dive into their book "Make Love, Make Money, Make it Last: 10 Secrets to Shape a Great Marriage". My whirlwind weeks continued as I flew to Tacoma to sprinkle some wisdom at the Washington State Department of Revenue on "Everyday Energy: Healthy Habits for Every Body." One pro tip I gave to the field staff working out of less-than-ideal spaces is to invest in a portable standing desk to give them options as they work.๐๐ As you read this, picture me cozied up at home this weekend while my rockstar husband's band Jack the Radio, takes the stage at Heroes Con. ๐ธ I'll be drinking coffee, recording a CPE webinar for Learn Formula, taking a walkie-talkie with my dear friend Beth, attending the musical Urinetown, and indulging in some ice cream. ๐ฆ On with the Weekender! p.s.Reviews mean SO much for small businesses like ours. Kindly give us a review on your favorite podcast channel, Google, or LinkedIn. High Fives & Hugs in advance! |

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...
