RaderCo - Weekender Snapshot
Published over 1 year ago • 3 min read
I love getting emails like the one above after presenting at a conference. Sometimes, the simple things can seem scary, but they can make such a big difference when we experiment and test them. We can always return to our old ways (efficient or not), but we must find out if something works better.
In honor of International Women's Day - if you think you're too old to experiment or change, get inspired by 89-year-old Flo Meiler, who started running track at age 60 and has won over 1,040 medals!
Her motto: "Motivation is what gets you started, habit is what keeps you going."
Now that's a RaderCo winner!
Special Request: In 2022, I embarked on a life-altering journey to Ghana. Visiting the dire conditions in a local school in Akyremade, where students lacked basic amenities like toilets, were squeezed into overcrowded classrooms, and studied in spaces without walls, made me want to do something big, especially because those same children were so grateful for the few books we brought and the stories we shared.
When the Work Meaningful Foundation invited me to join as a board member, my response was a HELL YES. Count me in to champion and finance educational initiatives across Africa and the United States!
I'll be visiting Akyremade in July of 2024 for the grand opening of their new middle school. We have already made so much progress! My personal goal is $3000 by the end of June or 50 people to donate any amount before my 50th birthday on September 8.
Last weekend, I surprised my husband for his birthday with a trip to Manhattan to visit friends and check out the Fotografiska Museum. I realized that I would not want my husband to surprise me the same way. I would want control over my packing!
I'm in Albuquerque for the National Speakers Association Thrive Winter Workshop. I flew in early with Belonging Expert Wendy Gates Corbett for a Design Dayand spa time. My Design Day was spent finalizing my TEDxNCState slides and categorizing and planning our 100 podcasts to make them easier for you to find and binge-listen to by topic. Have you used any of our podcasts for team training? If so, reply and let me know which ones.

When you get this, I'll be gearing up for a weekend of learning more about neuroscience in speaking and responsible artificial intelligence.
