Happy New Year!We're back in business after two weeks off from email and meetings. Before we left, my mind was blown at the Certified Speaking Professional® Summit. After a 2.5-day mastermind, I came home with the project of writing another book aimed at helping companies move away from an always-on culture. I'll start working on it in Q2 after TEDxNCSU. While the summit was intense, we also had some fun. Speaking of books...I was delighted to see my book mentioned by the Better Gift Coach as a way to find time-saving methods for project work. I always look forward to end-of-the-year reflection dates with my husband, two business peers, and RaderCo Concierge Lisa. I also got vulnerable, shared them with our Powered Path members, and gave a sneak peek into our priorities and some changes for this year. One update is a quarterly Voxer Day to Ask Me Anything as a membership perk!
I am honored to be part of the National Small Business Association Leadership Council on the Health and Human Resources Committee! The NSBA is the nation's oldest small-business non-partisan advocacy organization. I'll be working with them to promote the interests of small businesses to our elected representatives. I recently presented to the super hospitable National Speaker Association St. Louis chapter on Super Sexy Speaker Systems and the National Association of Women Business Owners in Charlotte on how to put out the dumpster fire, otherwise known as their inbox. Lastly, we're changing our packages and pricing for all team training starting February 1. Any agreements signed by January 31 get the current rates, so if you've been on the fence and are ready to extinguish email, make meetings matter, or remove distractions, sign up for a Connection Call: https://raderco.as.me/speaker.

Happy New Year! We road-tripped to Indiana for family time, then came home to finish the kitchen reno from hell, including a countertop install that “forgot” the stove cutout and an electrician who left a hot wire waving hello. Holidays in style with Kevin! But…it’s beautiful, and we’re prioritizing more entertaining this year. I’ll share my prioritization + planning process on the Jan 27 podcast. High fives to everyone who took the Weekender Snapshot Survey—extra star jumps to our winners of...
My last personal note for 2025... I'm in Scottsdale for five days as the chair of the Certified Speaking Professionals Summit. About 140 speakers will gather in groups of nine to mastermind for two full days. All of my Speakers With Impact Mastermind will be there, and we'll stay longer and have our end-of-year meeting. My mastermind (and fellow CSPs®), Kevin Snyder, Justin Jones-Fosu, Marcey Rader (me), Raven Solomon, and Stan Phelps. What’s a mastermind? A small group that meets regularly...
