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!

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...

You don't need another meeting. You need a message that lands without stealing an hour of focus. Why it matters: • Short async vidoes force clarity and speed decisions. • A single swap can return 26 hours per person per year. What you’ll learn: • When Loom beats a meeting • The five‑part structure that keeps it under five minutes • Weekly swaps to test now • Metrics to track in 30 days Tactics: • Lead with one line: “I am recommending X by Friday because Y.” • Use Loom for tone, visuals, and...
