Feeling the lazy embrace of summer? That's been me these past two weeks. Some light coaching sessions with clients on holiday and a beach getaway led to my last rendezvous with seafood. A scrumptious meal of ceviche and crab turned into an unexpected adventure in "internal decluttering" on the side of the road and someone's yard (sorry, unknown family!). By morning, I was back to my energetic self, all thanks to my friend Sara's pro tip - create a makeshift bed with couch cushions on the bathroom floor. Trust me, it was a game-changer! Since this was the third time in a few years that this has happened after eating shelled sea creatures, I'll consider it done and stick to fish of the non-exoskeleton persuasion! In other news, we made a snappy 2.5-minute Focus Power-Ups video with snippets from that program. Do you use our Powered Path Playbook™? If so, please be a helper and complete our survey to help us test the digital version! We're excited to offer this additional Playbook format option to our cadre of digital notetaker enthusiasts. #wegotyou Here's what the Goldfish Series author Stan Phelps said about his experience with the Powered Path Playbook™. (and if you don't know about Stan, I've read all eleven of his books cover to cover!) When you get this, I'll be savoring coffee and crepes with my friend Wendy and gearing up to sing & dance when my husband performs with the awesome Charles Latham and the Borrowed Band tonight. And tomorrow? Off to Smith Mountain Lake to hang with our dear friend Paul, whipping up paneer for dinner, quiche for breakfast, and maybe even fit in some happy hula-hooping on a paddleboard. On with the Weekender! p.s. New to RaderCo and want to get to know me better? Check out the various podcast interviews I have given in recent years.

I've worked remotely since 2002. Led a team of up to 18 people globally, with no Zoom, no cameras on our laptops or phones, and managed to stay and feel connected. So yes...I've got some street cred ;) Here's what two decades of remote work actually taught me: you can optimize all you want, but you need to relentlessly prioritize first. Why it matters: Remote workers tend to work more hours than in-office peers, not because they're more productive, but because the transition doesn't exist....
Two packed (and awesome) weeks over here... I spent most of them rebuilding my speaking catalog from the ground up. I love burning things down to ashes and rebuilding. What started as a refresh turned into something bigger. I retired one topic entirely, moved another into a different home, and reworked all of them. Some had been Frankensteined together over the years. I wanted each one to have a clear outcome and reflect what I'm passionate about teaching now. The bigger driver was making...
Reflections, Prioritization, and Planning At the end of each quarter, I do reflections: pull out my Powered Path Playbook pages, look at wins, lessons earned, smartest decisions, and start planning the next quarter. This round happened all over the place. Another round of Playbook Quarterly Reflections with Wendy! Wendy and I've been doing quarterly reflections together for about a decade. This time it was Yemeni coffee at Haraz Coffeehouse. My friend Lilly and I did an abbreviated version...
