Taking Charge of a Memorable Life By Hall-of-Fame Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Coincidence. Luck. Karma. Fate. Chance. Words tossed around A LOT lately, right? 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

How to Successfully Sell to Women (And Men)
And Why This Book May Be NOT What You Expected by Motivational Keynote Speaker and Author Connie Podesta The truth is - times have CHANGED. And smart, savvy salespeople are willing to make changes too in order to grow their business and keep their clients happy.

So I was asked by audience members and clients to come Read More
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
HEALTH is the Heart of HAPPINESS
HEALTH is the Heart of HAPPINESS
Redefining the Good Things in Life By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Every piece of research shows that HAPPINESS can absolutely have a positive effect on your health in zillions of ways. Every organ in your body thrives on HAPPINESS. It allows you to be calmer, sleep better, eat healthier, exercise more, and make better choices all around when it comes to YOUR life. UNHAPPINESS does the exact opposite. It attracts illness; lowers your immune system so you can’t resist disease; stockpiles nature’s all-natural, good-feeling chemicals, such as endorphins, instead of Read More

Negative People in Your Life?
Remember the Three C's By Motivational Keynote Speaker and Expert in Human Behavior Connie Podesta On social media this past couple of weeks, we’ve been talking a lot lately about taking CONTROL of your life in terms of health, happiness, and ridding yourself of toxic thoughts, habits, and sometimes even PEOPLE.

Want More BALANCE?
Want More BALANCE?
A Change and a Choice By Keynote Speaker and Change Expert Connie Podesta I can just imagine what you are thinking right now. "Seriously? Where do I find more time when I'm so busy I can barely breathe? In a holiday season where I should be putting other people first and me last? " I hear you. I've been there. But let's be honest. It's not a matter of finding a few minutes--it's the reluctance to change your routine, prioritize differently or rethink your options that keeps you so very busy. Two things must happen if you truly want some balance in your life. One, you must truly Read More
How to Survive a Crisis
How to Survive a Crisis
Fighting for Happiness in the Midst of Tragedy By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Whoa! Life is moving along just fine, thank you very much—when out of the blue, it hits us—a crisis! For me it was a recent house fire which destroyed 90% of everything material that I owned, loved and cared for. A crisis is something so far from what we wanted or expected that it totally knocks the breath out of us. “It’s like a dream,” we say. “I’m going to wake up and discover this never ever happened at all.” But unfortunately we don’t wake up. There it is, a looming force to be reckoned Read More
