Tracie Sponenberg LLC September 2, 2025 Welcome to unofficial Fall! After what feels like the hottest summer ever in NH, we've had a few weeks of really cool nights. And with the calendar turning into September, I'm going full-on fall. Apples, leaf wreaths, sweaters and boots. I like summer, but I LOVE this time of year (And yes I know it's not officially autumn for a few weeks.) September also brings more people back in the office, which also means a bit of an accelerated pace with my work....

Tracie Sponenberg LLC August 24, 2025 Welcome! Our youngest is thriving in her first days of college (huge exhale!), our oldest is hopping around Europe on vacation, and our middle one works long days and spends a lot of time with friends. So even though we technically have two at home, it kind of feels like we are empty nesters. Dave and I have a ton of fun together, and travel together frequently, but this new normal feels - weird I guess? Quiet for sure. (Though all of our kids are pretty...

Tracie Sponenberg LLC August 14, 2025 Welcome! It's mid-August as I write this, and we are getting ready to take our youngest to school. Though our kids are all older now, I remember the chaos of this time of year when they were younger. Endless school supply lists, the wait to find out which teacher they would have (would they be with friends?), the back to school clothes shopping. The relief that life was back to a routine (our relief, not theirs!) Parents and caregivers of kids, thinking...

Tracie Sponenberg LLC August 6, 2025 Welcome Back! I've missed writing this newsletter! If you read my last newsletter or we're connected on LinkedIn, you may know I lost my dad unexpectedly at the beginning of June. That's the reason for the long delay between newsletters. But this newsletter is not about grief (which is still there, and I write about from time to time.) I'm finally getting back to my normal newsletter cadence (every one to two weeks), and focusing on what I love - work,...

Tracie Sponenberg LLC June 10, 2025 Welcome! It's been a month - and thank you for your patience as I work my way back towards my regular weekly cadence. It's been a month of highs (an epic family vacation to Scandinavia) and one extreme low (the loss of my dad.) It has been just over a week, and I'm not able to return to some sense of normalcy. This newsletter is not my normal one. While there are some moments of levity, my current grief is evident. A heads up in case you need to skip this...

Tracie Sponenberg LLC May 10, 2025 Welcome! I'm still working my way to a regular weekly cadence, so thank you to the hundreds of you who have stuck with me as I find the voice and timing for this newsletter! WORK My work brings me a lot of joy. Seeing my frontline advisory clients reach new goals. Seeing my brand partners connect with a new audience. Connecting with others at speaking engagements. And helping my HR Tech advisory partners grow. And I've been extraordinarily lucky with...

Tracie Sponenberg LLC April 22, 2025 Welcome! And thank you for your continued patience. I'm still finding my newsletter content and cadence, but still loving the journey (of both the newsletter and my entrepreneurial career!) The newsletter is a labor of love, and takes me a little bit to put together. This spring, between travel and client work, this took a backseat. Not anymore. (Hopefully) coming now to your inbox weekly! WORK Since my last newsletter, I've had the pleasure of onboarding...

Tracie Sponenberg LLC March 13, 2025 Welcome! Slightly new look, not too long of a break this time. I'm still finding my newsletter content and cadence, but still loving the journey (of both the newsletter and my entrepreneurial career!) WORK This week I had the opportunity to travel to Indianapolis for a quick trip to teach at the University of Innovative Distribution. UID is a week-long program that is - in their own words - "a concentrated educational program focused on the unique needs of...

Tracie Sponenberg March 1, 2025 www.traciesponenberg.com Welcome! I'm BACK! This is my first newsletter in more than a month, and I'm excited to share what I've been up to, and why I took the break. And obviously, I haven't redesigned the newsletter yet, but that's coming soon. I think. WORK This is a bit of a different "work" section, because I wanted to share a bit about why the pause in the newsletter, and what I've been up to. I've wanted to write a newsletter for a really long time, and...
