NOT the Speaker By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta After more than 25 years in this industry, I’m fairly sure I’ve seen it ALL. Or at least ALMOST all there is to see in terms of types of speakers and what they bring to the “table” for the events at which they present. And like any profession, they run the gamut from the all right to the extraordinary. The down-to-earth to the drop-everything-for-me divas. The brand new to the seasoned professional.

My Top Three Tips For New Speakers
And Experienced Speakers Who Want More Bookings By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta I’m often asked by new speakers what my absolute #1 best advice would be.
