RaderCo - Weekender Snapshot


Woot, woot!

Celebrating my 11th business anniversary on July 16 was perfect timing with so many cool happenings this year. We jazzed up both the RaderCo and Marcey Rader websites and rolled out my brand-new speaker reel, showcasing the core message I deliver in keynotes, training, and coaching. It was a big investment but totally worth it, and Video Narrative nailed it!

Watch it below and let me know what you think! If you know a team, organization, or meeting professional who could use this message, please share it with them.

I also had the honor of being the opening keynote for Visit Raleigh and helped meeting professionals Elevate Their Focus.

It was one of the best small conferences I've presented at in 11 years – well-organized, super-fun emcees, a fantastic venue at the Westin RTP, delicious buffet, local gifts (hello, Headbands of Hope!), and a give-back exercise for Oak City Cares. Plus, my suit perfectly matched their event colors! #Extra

On the personal front, I celebrated my 26th wedding anniversary with our annual reflections, an hour in a sensory deprivation tank, Laotian food, and Ben & Jerry's. B&J was our first date on October 19, 1993; we've had it every month since.

Yep, for 31 years!

When you get this, I'll be out of the office for the next two weeks. I'm in the wedding of my amazing friend Justin Jones-Fosu and we're also opening a middle school in Akyremade, Ghana, through the Work Meaningful Foundation. Then, I'm back for one day before heading to the National Speaker Association Influence conference in Denver for a whole week. I'll be back in the office working with the coolest clients ever on August 13! Wanna be one?

On with the Weekender!

Mother Nature forgot Raleigh's in the South. We had real snow, and I went five straight days without stepping outside. That meant a lot of comedy watched, a few podcasts recorded, and a couple of books finished. I also chopped my hair off and felt instantly lighter. Long hair isn’t me - too fussy, too much work. Back to my low-maintenance self, and loving it. I spent an evening with the NC State Park Scholars - one of my favorite groups every year - on Breaking Free From Busy. We talked about...

It's been a rough(ish) couple of weeks. Scene 1: San Juan. I flew in to keynote for PrimeGlobal and felt a cold creeping in. I left the networking event early, slept, and still woke up scratchy on Tuesday, keynote day. I powered through, lost most of my voice a few hours later, but still walked Old San Juan with my friend Wendy (I didn't feel terrible, and I wasn't going to miss seeing the city). Highlight: a coquito iced latte in a tiny café. Not-a-highlight: realizing my $10.18 drink was ~5...
