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.

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 laser coaching, the Powered Path Program, and Reclaim Your Workday. You told us to keep the Weekender as-is (we’re honored). Lisa and I spend 2–3 hours on each edition because your 3–5 minutes matter.

Community win: Susan Brumbaugh suggested an advice column. Our twist—one podcast episode each quarter with YOUR questions. Ask me anything here.​

2025 was RaderCo’s best year—woohoo! In 2026, we’ll be losing some friends to downsizing, early retirement, and acquisitions. That opens space for great-fit clients. Is that you? Ready to end energy-draining meetings and overloaded chat, or to be the boss of your time and energy? Reply and let’s talk.

What's coming up:

• Podcast episode on my 2025 reflections and how this practice could benefit you throughout the year.
• Podcast episode on my prioritization and planning for 2026 and how I use the altitude method to do it.
• ​Reclaim Your Workday 8-week Action Club to cover each of the chapters and your pain points.
• A book on prioritization in Q3 or Q4.

On a personal note: We're building a Little Free Library on our property (launching late Q1/early Q2)! Thanks, Tatyana Blankenship, for the idea.

ChatGPT did my 'year in review'. Evidently, I'm one of the first 3% of users to adopt it (had no idea).

Based on different things I've entered in the past 12 months it combed across the web and came up with my year, painted in pixels. It's actually pretty spot-on perfect!

When you get this, I'll be in between two walkie-talkies at the Museum of Art and then a weekend filled with mountain biking, dinner hosting, party-attending, and flying to San Juan to speak to new client PrimeGlobal.

On with the Weekender!

PERFORMANCE POWER TIP Attention Anchors: Environment, Mindset, Energy Most focus advice fails because it tells you to try harder. These three anchors help you change the system around you—fast. One thing to do now: take five physiologic sighs (longer exhale than inhale) to calm your nervous system. Environment — change the room, change the result. Summary​ Mindset — reframe stress, reduce friction. Summary​ Energy — protect your inputs; the outputs follow. Summary

RADER-WORTHY RECOMMENDATION Favorite Winter Office Accessory Gravity-Induction Mug Warmer It keeps coffee/tea hot in my favorite (non-insulated) mugs and auto-shuts off so I don’t babysit a switch. Check it out​

RADER-WORTHY LISTEN Podcast: women, wellness and workflows I opened the curtains on my non-traditional business model that treats other coaches as partners, not competitors and how to build a business that fits your life (ditch the hustle cult). Not a coach? It might spark a job-share idea. WATCH HERE
