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!

Could not have asked for a better welcome... One of my top three personal priorities this year was launching a Little Free Library at my house. We were still adding books when Geron, neighborhood teen mentor, walked by and was so excited to find a book he had read and loved as a child. He left with three new books and brought back replacements. Within 20 minutes, a mom drove by only to turn right back around after her kids shouted that there was a library. She has six children, and they also...

My Little Free Library is finally ready to launch, and I’m ridiculously excited. My handy husband has spent the last month building it, and this weekend we’ll officially open it up to the neighborhood. It’s one of my Top Three personal priorities for the year, so this one feels extra good. To celebrate, I hosted a Books & Banter party with six girlfriends. Everyone brought one book to swap and one to donate, and we answered two questions: What was a pivotal book you read as a child? What’s...

Long lines at the airport last week gave me a timely reminder of a leadership problem I see everywhere at work. Leaders sometimes fix what’s visible instead of what’s broken. The result is just better optics, not better outcomes. There’s a reason this topic is hitting a nerve. Asana reports that knowledge workers spend 60% of their time on “work about work,” and Microsoft reports that employees are interrupted every two minutes by meetings, emails, or pings. That is not a time-management...
