RaderCo - Weekender Snapshot

Published 5 months ago • 3 min read

So MANY reasons to celebrate & be THANKFUL!

Thanksgiving week was relaxing by going on two hikes, having coffee and reflections with Powered Path Playbooks™, seeing Taylor Swift by Candlelight courtesy of a string quartet, and roasting s'mores around the fire pit with RaderCo Concierge Lisa and her husband. I was uber-inspired by the biopic Nyad, and can't stop talking about it. Everyone can benefit from watching this movie, especially if you are over 50!

Black Friday brought its share of smart shopping. I was particularly thrilled with my finds from Better Made Easy, a venture by my friend and fellow B-Corp advocate Christina Noel. Their commitment to quality, sustainability, and employing people with special needs to package and ship the gift boxes meet all of my values. Speaking of discoveries, I took the Hugsi gifting quiz. I discovered my gift language is Experiences, Time, then Autonomy – not surprising, and so on point!

In RaderCo news, our Powered Path Program sale from Black Friday to Cyber Monday was a hit! It's gratifying to see this powerful course make its way to more people, aiding them in their journey of reflection, planning, and prioritizing.

I was also part of a 99-cent book sale with 50 fellow authors. It was thrilling to see the Kindle version of "Work Well. Play More!" being picked up for entire teams and families. Our monthly Ask the Author sessions with the Oklahoma Blood Institute's leadership team were a 2023 highlight, bringing the book's habits to life.

This past week, I spoke to 554 accountants about inbox management, sharing some favorite tricks like creating rules or labels (see one of mine below!). I also addressed RTI International on the theme of Everyday Energy, emphasizing the importance of Movement Opportunities – small exercises that significantly impact our energy levels (see our spotlight below - YOWZA!)

An essential aspect of RaderCo's mission is our commitment to Kiva. This quarter, we're lending to a female business owner inspired by Rea, our Website Specialist from the Philippines. Rea has been a valuable part of our team for eight years and counting...

When you get this, I'll be in Charlotte, NC, with my Speakers With Impact mastermind group and taking detailed notes from our guest speaker, RaderCo CFO Carolina Aponte. These meetings are always a source of growth and inspiration. If you haven't yet joined a mastermind or peer advisory group, I highly recommend it – it's a game changer.

Today also starts my family's 25 in 25® exercise challenge, which I started 23 years ago. From December 1 - 25, we commit to exercising 25 minutes daily or walking at least 6000 steps. Everyone who makes it gets a special gift from me. This weekend, I'm looking forward to a walkie-talkie with a friend, exploring the art market on Fayetteville Street, and playing tambourine in a support role for Kevin, who will be performing in the first of three weekends of Nutcracker performances (and no, he's not the principal ballerina)!

On with the Weekender!


PRODUCTIVITY QUICK TIP

hacks for email management

Feel like your inbox is a firehose of spam, requests, calendar invites, and acknowledgments? Setting your inbox up is essential to see the flowers (your clients and stakeholders) in the weeds. Our latest blog post gives you six email management hacks to extinguish that dumpster fire. One of my favorite hacks is creating a filter for all newsletters and blog posts I want to read to bypass my inbox to a Friday label. I read these all at once on Fridays, so I'm not distracted by them during the week.

BOOK REVIEW

my book made the brainy business' top 3 books of 2023!

I had a jaw-dropping moment when Work Well. Play More! was named one of Melina Palmer's Top Three Books of the YEAR! Ms. Palmer is an applied behavioral economist interviewing very big names on The Brainy Business podcast. Being interviewed by Melina was already a big professional highlight, but this? I'm still walking on cloud nine - what a wonderful 'pinch me' moment!

p.s. Instead of giving some generic gift card or bottle of wine - POWER your team forward by transforming how they reflect, plan, and prioritize in 2024! Check out the Powered Path Program! - to give a gift with maximum impact!

Fun mini-vacation! Our long weekend was spent enjoying perfect weather in Asheville, NC - one of my favorite cities in the U.S! We went on two beautiful hikes and played a round of disc golf while also eating our way through ice cream shops & coffee houses with our cousins. I love logging into LinkedIn and seeing messages like this one below, from our Cook Wealth client - Sophie Howell. Not only did I teach Cook Wealth the beauty of the timer, but I use a timer when I'm in LinkedIn so I don't...
