Introducing An Amazing Series on How to Become the Best YOU! By Organizational Therapist, Executive Coach, and Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Let’s face it – becoming the best possible you is a TALL order. As a speaker, therapist, counselor, coach and friend – there’s not much I haven’t seen in this wide, sometimes wonderful, often times chaotic world we live in. For thirty years I have observed, educated, trained, counseled, interviewed, influenced, been influenced by, learn from and listened to more than two million people…and unfortunately, the majority of those people tell me Read More
Quit Searching for Happiness…
That’s right. Cut it out. Too often we spend SO much time LOOKING for something to make us happy. Make us feel BETTER. Make us STRONGER. Make us more WHOLE. Guess what? It’s not OUT THERE. It’s right INSIDE you. Believe it or not you were born with all the key ingredients for happiness, success, strength and wholeness. Sometimes you’ve got to just dig down and find it. I’ve found that for a lot of people – the trick to that is to QUIT. Not give up, mind you, but rather to quit getting in your own way. Quit doubting. Quit over-analyzing. Quit sabotaging yourself. Quit denying Read More
‘Twas the Night Before Christmas (Connie Style)
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house… Computers were off-- even the mouse. Blogs were packed up… and sent far away Ready to be sent after the holiday.

Because now is the time for friends and good food… hugs and hymns and all things peaceful and good. I'll pick up the pace on Monday you bet… but for my holiday message… This is all you will get! Happy Holidays! With love, Read More
What the “No Goal Setters” Do This Time of Year…
by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Like most people I guess, I’m excited about the coming of a new year. Clean slates, fresh starts, new opportunities and new people. It’s funny when you’re someone like me – one of those NON-GOAL-SETTERS to see everyone already busy with resolution lists and goal charts. Yeah, that’s not me. I’m more of a ‘take the world as it comes’ kind of gal, and I like it that way. It gives me more freedom to roll with the punches, choose new paths, open new doors and see opportunities where I otherwise might not if I were focused solely on “the Read More
One Holiday Down…Get Ready for Anything!
by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Phew! One holiday down, a few more to go! It was terrific to see so much response from the last post about managing holiday family drama (without losing it) and dealing with those pesky little issues like guilt, control and sometimes all out tantrums. So I thought it might be a great time to share another special “treat” with you. It’s sure to be better than cookies and WAY better than fruitcake! I want to share with you a little inside scoop on what makes people do what they do and say what they say so that you can better maneuver and manage Read More
How to Fire Someone and NOT Feel Guilty!
by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta... It's one of the toughest things leadership has to face. Firing, letting go...laying off. It's stressful, uncomfortable and awkward for most managers. I have a few thoughts on the topic that I'd like to share from a leadership interview I did... I hope it makes a difference for you... Leadership takes courage, more so now than I think in a very long time. Expectations are high and truly a lot is on the line. As a leadership speaker, I'm always focused on giving managers and team leaders new insights, strategies and solutions Read More
