Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta’s Education Testimonials

Based on the overwhelming responses from the participants, it is safe to say that you were the best motivational speaker in over 14 years!

– University of Delaware

It was the best in-service presentation I have ever attended. Our teaching staff left with an excitement that I have not seen in past years. The start of our school year has been the best I have ever experienced. I believe it is a direct result of your presentation and our emphasis on being positive.

– New Knoxville Local School

Evaluations from the MEA Instruction and Professional Development Conference were overwhelmingly positive and filled with exuberance about your presentation. We are all richer for our experience with you.

– Michigan Education Association

Seasoned professional counselors and mental health professionals, veterans at attending and presenting workshops, left your presentation saying this was by far the very best and most helpful workshop they have ever attended.

– Texas Counseling Association

Connie Podesta, you were a sensation and it’s a compliment to you that you brought the audience to their feet with a standing ovation. The participants left with a supportive, satisfied outlook for having had the experience.

– Florida Department of Education

You got right to the heart and soul of the matter of teaching—and why the teaching profession HAS to be about excellence and commitment! To say that we were all inspired might be the understatement of the century.

– Auglaize County Educational Service Center

You far exceeded our expectations. What a hit! We have never had a presenter with your amount of energy. You not only made us laugh, but you made us think and challenged us to be better educators.

– Davis County Community School

We cannot begin to express to you our appreciation for the positive impact you have had on our community… Your message impacted far more than the 3,000 people who heard you while you were here.

– Franklin Community School Corporation

Connie Podesta challenged us to consider ‘if the business of education is conducted with strict standards of work ethic and discipline, then a cost-effective bottom line of successful kids results. ‘Connie Podesta’s ‘get off your duff and teach like your life depends on it’ approach may be too direct for slackers in any organization. For teachers, it’s not their life but their students’ futures that are at stake. We find ourselves asking, ‘What’s the Podesta approach to this?’ We have been forever transformed by your message. Thank you for the candor, the vigor, and sincerity of your dynamic ideas!

– Nevada R-5 School District

Standing ovation…loved her!  We ran late but she was able to give us the full hour before she ran to catch her shuttle.  Couldn’t be happier.  Thank you.

—Cindy Chapman, Goddard Systems, Inc.
