RaderCo - Weekender Snapshot


Overwhelmed with emotion...

I'm surprised I didn't need an IV for dehydration because I ugly-cried for five days... My TEDxNCState talk last Friday was an absolute whirlwind of love, support, and validation.

With over 30 friends and clients cheering me on, and the flood of comments, texts, and voicemails afterward - I was swimming in a sea of emotions.

The OUTPOURING of love made every second of the 55 hours I poured into prep totally worth it.

Now, I'm gearing up to spill all the details in a podcast & blog post once the video is released (fingers crossed it's within the month!). My favorite quote from the whole shebang? "That was a roller coaster of emotions that everyone needs to take a ride on!" Talk about hitting ALL the feels!

Shoutout to RaderCo Productivity Specialists Judith & Elisabeth for the gorgeous surprise flower arrangement and BIG love to the NSA Carolinas crew.

MASSIVE hugs to RaderCo Vocal Communications Specialist Helen Moses for helping me shape my final talk!

My perfect post-TEDx recovery was a walkie-talkie & coffee with my friend Sara, dinner at the fab Fiction Kitchen with more friends, and a forest bathing experience at the NC Botanical Gardens with Concierge Lisa.

Also, huge thanks to my Ah-Maz-Ing stylist, Michelle Scaraglino, for whipping up that custom jacket that made me feel like a TEDx rockstar.

Now, onto other adventures that haven't taken over my life lately...

We got to catch up with our college roommate and her daughter at Mookie's New York Deli. Who wouldn't want to try Marcey's Crispy Brussels Sprouts (yep, named after yours truly)?

Also, had the honor of speaking for the global admin team of MiracleFeet, an incredible organization changing lives worldwide. Check out their work and consider donating. Every kid deserves the chance to run and play and club foot is fixable with the proper treatment!

Then, there was the "I Respectfully Disagree" launch event, where I talked about how Justin Jones-Fosu's book made me think about all the times I've disrespectfully agreed. Yep, it's a thing.

When you get this, I'll be treating Mom and me to a much-needed pedi at Relax Foot Spa. My family's in town, so it's all about walks, bikes, ice cream, and action movies.

On with the Weekender!

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.

Dolly Parton, screen apnea, and the Meaningful 67. I've been binge-listening to Dolly Parton and doing something I almost never do, which is watching videos on YouTube. When I was four, I sang "Two Doors Down" to my grandparents to their 8-track. I still remember it clearly. Last year I listened to Dolly Parton's America, one of the best podcast series I've ever heard, and her Imagination Library stuck with me. This year Kevin built me my own Little Free Library. It has been such a joy. I...

When one person reads a book about prioritization, they get better at prioritizing. When a team reads it, they get a shared vocabulary for sharing guardrails. That's why the pocket guide is small. It's built to be handed out, carried, and pulled out in a meeting when someone needs a word for what's actually going wrong. Ability. The person you promoted who's drowning. They knew how to prioritize their own work, never a team's, and assuming that skill transfers is how strong technical people...

Think about a priority you keep restarting. A health habit. A relationship. A project that stays at the top of the list and never gets the time. There are three reasons it stalls, and they look identical from the outside. You don't know how. You don't have the room. You're not the one deciding. The Right Things First: A Pocket Guide to Relentless Prioritization is out today, along with the mini-keynote I recorded in Austin, which is the whole argument in 14 minutes. Why it matters:...
