marcey rader
Hi! I'm Marcey Rader. I love nothing more than empowering busy leaders and business owners to create time boundaries, increase focus and attention, improve their health, and live a happier, less stressful life.
I understand the roles of a corporate professional, road warrior, and a business owner. I'll be the first to tell you I made mistakes. All. Of. The. Mistakes. I was a hard-charging, high-intensity, Type A (Awesome) go-getter in my 20s and 30s that never stopped to smell the roses, look at the view, or soak in my accomplishments.
I just kept aiming for a higher promotion, harder race completed, another client closed, and one more box checked. I told myself that someday I would be happy. Someday I would be content. Someday I would focus on myself or (gulp) my husband.
Someday is not a day of the week.
Being productive and healthy doesn't require extreme self-discipline and willpower. It takes commitment, knowledge, support, and behavior change. It takes the right systems to save ourselves from ourselves. It takes proper habits sustainably built over time.
so what do I do, really?
speak...
I present at events on how to shrink the inbox, master tasks, conquer calendars, improve focus, and escalate energy.
coach...
I coach busy people like you and emphasize creating guardrails, being present, tackling that inbox, eating for energy, movement opportunities, and managing stress.
train...
Through workshops and private coaching, I work with companies and teams to banish burnout, reduce overwhelm, efficiently communicate, hold productive meetings, and create transitions between work and play. All this so you can keep good people and work well together.
write...
I write books and articles about all things productivity and health, for real people.
our superstar team
With my team of specialists, we provide an executive support team to handle many of the challenges people have in their personal productivity and health journeys.
let's get to know each other
My husband, Kevin, is a professional drummer. Our first date was to Ben and Jerry's on October 19, 1993, and we've had Ben and Jerry's every month on the 19th ever since. Yep, over 300 times!
I brew my own Kombucha, but would not call myself a hippie.
I'm a former Ironman triathlete, ultra-mountain biker, and adventure racer and competed in over 100 endurance races. Now, I jump rope, run, lift weights, rebound, and mountain bike. And walkie-talkie. Lots of walkie-talkies.
For almost a decade I traveled up to 48 weeks a year. I've spoken in Dubai, Tokyo, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, and Sao Paulo.
what I stand for
That what you say today may be different than what you said in the past. We all learn and grow in different ways.
