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.
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.

Understanding Generational Mindsets
Understanding Generational Mindsets
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
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

Sometimes as excuses for bad choices, right? Sometimes heard from those who believe that life is just lobbing lemons at them and there’s no recipe for lemonade. And sometimes, the foundation for lives lived unfulfilled and unhappy because people resign themselves to the fact that ‘that’s just the way life is.” No. The truth is you can feel POWERLESS, and take on the ‘life’s unfair’ attitude, or you can feel Read More

And Why This Book May Be NOT What You Expected by Motivational Keynote Speaker and Author Connie Podesta The truth is - times have CHANGED.

HAPPINESS Doesn’t PROCRASTINATE
HAPPINESS Doesn’t PROCRASTINATE
Keeping Pace with Joy, Balance, and Success By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Procrastination is the silent killer of ambition, productivity, achievement, even peace and balance. And most importantly, it undermines your own HAPPINESS. Trust me, putting things off causes more stress, worry, and insecurity about the future than just taking a deep breath and taking the first step. Where to start? ANYWHERE. When I find myself trying to avoid something, I look for the easiest place to start. The cheapest. The least frightening. The most accessible. The most comfortable. The Read More
