And How it’s Changed Everything By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta This vacation was my best ever. I did nothing. We didn't sightsee. I didn't learn anything new. I didn't read anything non-fiction. I literally -- did nothing productive! I read a romance novel. Drank mint and cucumber water. Watched Netflix. Had a crunchy salad. Walked along the ocean. Meditated. Had a watermelon salad. Snuggled. Snacked. Watched the sunset. Had a great white wine. Walked some more. Ate wonderful seafood. Slept. And slept some more. Floated in the ocean. Had a fresh fruit smoothie. Got a Read More

Three Strategies to Take Charge of Your Personal Life

So That Your Professional Life Can Soar! by Leadership Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Think your personal and professional lives aren't intertwined? Think again. Chances are that despite your best attempts to keep the two separate, the quality and stability of your personal life often have a direct impact upon the quality and success of your professional life. In fact, for many people, their professional life mirrors their personal life. When your personal life is stable and happy, this mirroring is a good thing. Your professional life will be productive and rewarding because you'll Read More

Like It or Not: You ARE a Leader

Like It or Not: You ARE a Leader

Posted by Connie Podesta

Leadership Perceptions De-Bunked By Hall of Fame Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Bottom line?  YOU ARE A LEADER. All the time.  Whether you’re at work or at home.   Employed or stay at home parent.  Paid job or volunteer. Willing or unwilling.  Honestly?  It doesn’t make any difference what you do or choose not do.  Even if you THINK you are a follower and always avoid center stage, you can’t escape the fact that you are ALWAYS in the position to influence other people’s thoughts, actions and attitudes.  That’s quite a responsibility.  We influence others all the time.  By what we say and Read More

Finding Your Balance.

Finding Your Balance.

Posted by Connie Podesta

It's Not About Equal Time  by Keynote Speaker and Human Relationship Expert Connie Podesta As a motivational keynote speaker in today's sometimes chaotic world, I'm often asked by clients to deliver a message on BALANCE and I'm happy to share.  The truth is balance will never, EVER be about equal time.  It's just not.  For anyone who works, enjoys a career, has outside interests, volunteers, is a parent, is a spouse or partner, has aging parents -- you name it - you can't equal out the time. “Balancing Home and Career” gives the illusion that there’s a magical way to equalize these two Read More

Re-Thinking Your CHOICES.

Re-Thinking Your CHOICES.

Posted by Connie Podesta

It's All About Perspective by Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta The truth is?  The difference between being POWERFUL and POWERLESS in our lives really does come down to CHOICE.  We can ACT or REACT.  We can find the GOOD or the BAD in any given situation.  We can LEARN from each day or keep repeating old habits and patterns.  It's up to us.  Each of us. Every day.  If  what you want is to live differently.  Abundantly.  Purposefully.  Creatively.  You absolutely CAN.  It all starts with taking CHARGE of your life. TAKING CHARGE means: No more excuses Being accountable Read More

Understanding Generational Mindsets

Understanding Generational Mindsets

Posted by Connie Podesta

A Lesson in Generations By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta I was interviewed while keynoting a leadership conference a while back and asked the question, “What can leaders do to help the generational diversity out there?”  It was a good question and one that I think is really important for today’s leaders.  You know, it’s easy to play the blame game-right?  The older generation is quick to judge the younger generations and the younger generation, frankly is quick to do the same. Here’s the deal.  The Baby Boomers are known for being hard workers, nose-to-the-grindstone Read More

Never SETTLE for Less Than You Deserve

Never SETTLE for Less Than You Deserve

Posted by Connie Podesta

Getting More from Your Life and Time By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Too often we see those who respect others and treat others with kindness and compassion--but then manage to not be nearly as kind of themselves. They SETTLE for less than they deserve. Here’s what you need to know:  When people believe that true love, more money, losing weight, a promotion, or a bigger house is the thing they need before they can be truly happy, then they invariably SETTLE for less.  In their attempt to find the solution to their unhappiness, they will grab the first thing that comes Read More
