Overcoming the Challenges of Change

Overcoming the Challenges of Change

Posted by Connie Podesta

by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Being a professional motivational speaker is such an awesome job--but sometimes something happens at an event-- that even for an old seasoned pro like myself--makes me so glad I do what I do. First of all, Colorado Springs is one of my all-time favorite places, especially when it gets me away from the 100 degree heat of Dallas. The event audience was mostly guys who sell to small, family-owned businesses. One of the topics I was asked to touch on was....social media! So I started by telling my story "Texting Harry" which is also the title of one of my Read More

How To Demonstrate Value to My Company

By Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Last time I introduced you to the eight high performance behaviors that can give you the best odds of staying employed. Remember we are NOT talking about necessarily keeping the job you have, but rather focusing on how you can keep income coming in regardless of what may happen to the particular job you have at this moment. I am interested in you having the skills necessary to STAY EMPLOYED even if something were to happen to the job you have. Think of yourself as the CEO of your career. YOU are in charge. And, as a result, you may have one client Read More

What Can I Do To Guarantee My Job?

Posted by Connie Podesta

An Q& A With Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Question: Connie, although I have no reason to believe my job is in jeopardy, I still worry. Everywhere I turn I meet someone who has been laid off, fired, or let go. I go to work each day and try to do my best, but I'm not sure that is enough anymore. My boss is not very good at communicating what he needs or expects and rarely gives me feedback. What can I do to guarantee I will keep my job and stay employed, especially in tough times? Answer: You are not the only one to ask this question. I hear it from people everywhere, in every Read More

How Can I Deal With A Difficult Co-Worker?

A Q & A With Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Question: My boss called me in to his office the other day. He told me that he thought my "attitude" lately had been getting in the way of me doing my job well. I resented this very much and I want to know what I should do. A lot is going on in my personal life right now, and I may not be the happiest person all the time, but I still manage to get to work everyday, and I try to do my job the best I can. I think my personal life is none of his business. What do you think? Answer: I think you need to reaccess your situation more honestly. Read More

Helping People Understand People

Helping People Understand People

Posted by Connie Podesta

By Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Several times a week I get e-mails that are very similar in nature. According to my clients, audiences, and readers, difficult people seem to be everywhere! People tell me that they are being nagged at home, controlled at work, pressured in social circles, and subjected to negative thoughts, attitudes and behaviors in all areas of their lives. As one reader said; "It is hard enough to stay positive with all the things going on in my own life without having to deal with everyone else's problems and gripes". I believe most people are looking for advice, Read More

Learning Assertive Communication Can Be Fun With Twitter

Learning Assertive Communication Can Be Fun With Twitter

Posted by Connie Podesta

As an organizational therapist and ardent observer of human behavior, Twitter is a fascinating social phenomenon. Actually, I find all of the social media networking is a great lesson in communication styles, and enjoy speaking about it. It appears to be far easier to spit out 140 characters than to take the time and work on clear and concise communication no matter the style. No one appears to judge you on such small sound bites. However no matter what the delivery system, it sometimes seems that folks just don't understand the importance of what they say. People can forget how Read More

10 Things to QUIT Starting Today

To Build the Life You Really Want By Motivational Keynote Speaker and Human Relationship Expert Connie Podesta Ever hear that saying that says before you can grab hold of what you really want you’ve got to let go of what’s you’re currently holding on to so tightly?  That’s what I want to talk about in this article.  Those things that no longer serve you and those things that frankly, NEVER did.  Let them GO so you can be happier.
