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.

Do the right things first. Twice a month I send one prioritization practice you can use that week, plus the Health-Powered Productivity podcast, the reading, and what I'm learning on the road.
Reflect before you plan | The journalist test | The last Action Club Sponsor Scout ranked Health-Powered Productivity #18 in productivity podcasts. If you're new to the show, here are three of the most popular episodes from the last year: Episode 113 - Three Before Screens: Guardrails That Protect Your Mornings Episode 114 - Attention Anchor Part 1: The Environment Set-Up for Better Focus Episode 124 - Make Prioritization Visible: A Leadership Diagnostic This week I presented to meeting...
Q4 budget windows close fast. If you're looking for something to give your team before the year ends, I want to make sure you know this exists. The Right Things First is a pocket guide to relentless prioritization across health, work, relationships, home, and digital life. Small enough for a back pocket. Practical enough to use the same week it arrives. Every copy includes a free audio version I recorded (65 minutes). It works as a standalone team resource or paired with a keynote or...
Planning is a productive-looking way to procrastinate. An afternoon, a document, and the feeling you worked on the quarter. Then you can execute a list you never examined. Why it matters: If you can't plan, you can't prioritize. If you're not prioritizing, you're planning the wrong things. There's a step before both. Reflect. Prioritize. Plan. In that order. One thing you can do now: Before you plan next quarter, answer one question about the last one. What did you keep saying yes to that...
