Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta's Keynote Topics

SUCCESS.  LEADERSHIP.  SALES.  CHANGE.  BALANCE.  RELATIONSHIPS.

“Connie was fantastic!.  An absolute home run.  Her connection with the audience was amazing and she was extremely skilled at weaving our company message in with her memorable content.  She was funny, motivating, yet carried a serious, customized message.  The audience ate it up!” -Bright Now

My topics represent the five key areas that audiences, event planners and organizations request over and over.  And for good reason.  They deliver what research shows to be the three things that audiences want the most from their keynote speaker or master of ceremonies:  POWERFUL MESSAGE, MOTIVATION and ENTERTAINMENT.

POWERFUL MESSAGE.  My #1 goal is to help your audience and organization “close the gap” between where they are now and where they need and want to be .  That way  they can:  Keep their competitive edge. Grow their customer base. Develop stronger leadership skills. Sustain quality relationships.  Maintain a positive attitude.  Manage on-going change.  Increase sales, productivity and profitability. In order to succeed, people must become FEARLESS in their quest for success, health, and happiness.

MOTIVATION. My second goal is to MOTIVATE and EMPOWER your audience to become fearless INFLUENCERS who will take the knowledge and skills I give them and carry that message forward to lead, inspire and influence others to succeed as well. This trickle-down effect? Amazingly powerful.

ENTERTAINMENT. My third goal is to ENTERTAIN and INTERACT. But my humor has a purpose. I know that when people laugh they LEARN more, REMEMBER more, COMMIT to more, and are more WILLING to tackle the tougher issues that stand in their way of achieving the results they want.

Take a tour through the topics below.  You can choose just one or I can blend several of them together to get the results you want.  Remember, whatever works for you, works for me!

1.  STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD:

How to Out-think and Out-Perform the Competition

Reality:  "Business as usual" is no longer enough. The game has changed, and the competition is closing in with new strategies daily. If you want to STAND OUT and succeed in an environment where dramatic change happens at the click of a mouse, then you will have to out-shine past performance, out-think old ideas and out-maneuver anyone who says it can't be done and close the gap between where you are NOW and where you want, need and deserve to be to achieve great results.

ASK YOURSELF:  What do you bring to the table that is so memorable AND ESSENTIAL that people would CHOOSE to be your customer, colleague, employee, leader, or partner INSTEAD OF TURNING ELSEWHERE?

Solution:  Your success depends upon your ability and determination to be recognized as a unique, vital, “one-of-a-kind” brand that consistently delivers more than expected in the areas of added value, creative thinking, managing expectations, leadership and amazing, proactive service to both internal and external customers. Entertaining, yet insightful and refreshingly candid, Connie has the answers you need to accelerate past your competition and truly STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD!

 2.  ABSOLUTE FEARLESS SUCCESS:

The Power of Passion and Potential

Reality: Just imagine how successful you could be in all areas of your life if you understood the psychology and absolute power of human behavior and the mind as it relates to motivation, performance, strengths, and overcoming obstacles. Connie is an expert in helping people close the gap between where they are now and where they want and need to be to truly succeed and achieve outstanding results--at home and at work.

Get ready to explore every aspect of what makes people do what they do and say what they say. The bottom line is: you can expect the best or you can expect the worst. Either way, you will most likely prove yourself right. The power of your own thoughts, beliefs and perceptions are game-changers and will alter the direction of your future from that moment on. What do you really want? Health? Wealth? Happiness? Promotion? Increased sales? Better relationships? It is all right within your grasp. Connie is fearless about helping people find the power and determination to achieve more than they ever thought possible.

Solution: With laugh-out-loud humor, amazing insight into what makes people tick and killer success strategies, Connie will empower you to develop the FEARLESS attitudes necessary to embrace new ways of thinking, leading, selling, balancing home/career, nurturing relationships, raising families, motivating employees, providing customer service, creating productive teams and last but not least LIVING LIFE the way it was met to be lived.

3.  DYNAMIC FEARLESS LEADERSHIP:

The Power of Influence and Empowerment

Reality:  Leadership is a powerful privilege--open to everyone, regardless of title or job description. Connie has worked with some of the world’s great leaders and discovered two common traits: 1) they have the intuitive ability to identify the “gap” between where people (including themselves) are now and where they need to be in order to achieve powerful RESULTS  and 2) they have the talent and desire to use that knowledge to mentor, train, and inspire others to  be confident and successful in their own right. Leadership is more about service, than wielding power. More about empowering people than “managing” people. More about “charging people up” than being in charge. More about making good choices for the right reason than pleasing everyone.

Solution:  With her comedic wit and trademark no-nonsense style, Connie is known world-wide for helping leaders create teams that are energized and FEARLESS in their quest for success. Get ready to go straight inside the minds of most common leadership styles and see which one fits you to a tee and which one would be YOUR first choice to follow and respect.

4.  GAME-CHANGING FEARLESS SALES:

The Power of Personality and Persuasion

Reality:  The Number one key to increasing your sales is to identify the gap between where your customer is NOW and where they need to be to achieve the results they want. Closing that “gap” is what closes the deal and no one can teach you how to do that better than Connie.   Bottom line--"Selling as Usual" won’t cut it anymore. Pressure tactics and overcoming objectives is both outdated and irritating.

Solution:  Connie is FEARLESS when it comes to taking sales to a whole new level.  And don’t even try to use the economy, territory, or price as excuses.  SELLING YOURSELF is more important than product, price or brand. Connie puts you right smack inside the mind of today’s new breed of customer. Bargain-hunting. Internet Savvy. Indecisive. And PICKY--especially when it comes to the buying process.

With her tell-it-like-it-is delivery, laugh-out-loud humor and killer SALES STRATEGIES, get ready to increase sales, grow your business, develop long-term customers and.....BLOW THE ROOF off of sales done the "old" way!
