RaderCo - Weekender Snapshot

Masterminds, Muscles, and Mystery Finds in the Garage I love having a virtual studio to balance out travel and home life, but nothing beats sitting across from a client in person. Last week, I met with two stars for intensives in South Carolina and Georgia. One powerful takeaway—could you be leading so loudly (think Siri or Alexa, always ready with an answer) that you’re actually disempowering your team? Another highlight was our quarterly mastermind retreat for Speakers With Impact...

My heartfelt, lesson-earned true story was chosen for a book that helps support others. I wanted to share a deeply personal story that's a little surreal. It’s featured in a new book called Speechless!, which includes 28 true stories from professional speakers around the world. My story? It’s about the time I delivered a virtual productivity training… From a nursing home With a surprise ragtime soundtrack While visiting my mother-in-law in hospice. It wasn’t professional. It wasn’t ideal. But...

My Happy Place, Recharged! The National Speakers Association Influence conference in Scottsdale is my professional RESET button. Five days with 900 other speakers—learning, laughing, crying, dancing—and filling my brain and heart so I can bring even more value to you. I drink my own Kool-Aid by following the strategies in my Optimize Conferences podcast episode: take breaks, process notes daily, and walk away with just three actions. A dedicated Design Day in late August to explore AI tools -...

Let’s stop designing meetings made for mirrors and multitasking You wouldn’t hold a mirror to your face in a real meeting… so why are we doing it on Zoom? In this new episode of the Health-Powered Productivity podcast, I share practical ways to design meetings for neurodivergent brains and why it makes meetings better for everyone. We cover: Why self-view is making you tired What Zoom dysmorphia is (and why it’s real) When chat becomes a distraction instead of a feature How to shift from a...

RaderCo is Reclaiming Workdays! Urban Design Partners are Reclaiming Their Workday! I’ve been in full speaking mode, helping over 800 accountants reclaim focus and manage remote work without feeling overwhelmed. Meanwhile, our Software Specialist, Dawn Bjork, led a brilliant session training Executive and Administrative Assistants at a biotech company on how to actually use Microsoft Copilot. I say actually because let’s be honest, AI still has a ways to go. Two things to remember with AI:...

Show up fully — or don’t show up at all. In-person trainings are powerful — but only if you respect them. When leaders pop in "just to say hi," or participants check email mid-session, it quietly undermines the entire investment. In this podcast, I share my top dos and don’ts for in-person trainings so your team gets every dollar of value — and every ounce of impact. Learn: The biggest ways we sabotage learning How to model focus & presence Why post-training time is a non-negotiable Listen...

When the universe shouts, you listen. In the last week, several people told me that they binge-listened to my podcast and needed more. So....hiatus over! To celebrate 12 years in business, I’m sharing 12 lessons earned — not learned. Because anyone can read new information from a book. Earned means you’ve got the bruises to prove it. A few highlights: JOO - The joy of opting out (goodbye, social media rabbit holes) Why asking business questions to people who failed might save you thousands of...

Reflections, Connections, and Giving Back. I love the end of a quarter because reflection is my jam. I do it daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually, but my quarterly deep dives with three friends and my husband are next-level. At the lake house with RaderCo Marketing Specialist Lisa, we walk, eat delicious food, and always leave with at least one big aha. This time? We revamped email templates after automating coaching workflows and realized we were holding back great follow-up...

Community, Cash Flow, and C-Suite Convos... As a member of the National Speakers Association Carolinas Chapter, I recently attended our annual meeting to celebrate the new board. We’re an elite chapter with an unofficial motto that says it all: Together We’re Better. I love this about the speaker community—no competition, just connection. If you don’t have a circle where you can share wins and challenges without judgment, find one... stat. Together We’re Better. But after the conference? I....

On the travel train... Last weekend was all about Ava—my brilliant niece who graduated from high school with an associate’s degree already! She finished sixth in her class and is entering Ball State (my undergrad alma mater) as a sophomore. From the time she was little, she gave away her toys & money to other kids who needed them more. She’s smart, kind, and ready to take on the world. Not biased...just facts! Her gift? A trip with me next week to the Pebble Beach Resort, where I’m speaking...
