Are You Bah-Humbugging This Holiday?

Posted on 12.21.20 | Connie Podesta |

How to Stay in the Present By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta It's started already. People are asking, "Connie, how will I EVER get through the holidays?" Irritating family, overwhelming schedules, and stress. And now, we're even having to have family time via TECH like Zoom! Yikes! If holidays for you are more scary than merry--STOP. Take time. Breathe. You get to control your own life. That free will thing? Totally true. Make this the season you take some time for you. Change traditions. Savor the moments. Find your joy. Make some memories. Holidays shouldn't be about Read More

Pandemic Fatigue and Your Team

Posted on 11.19.20 | Connie Podesta |

By Hall of Fame Speaker Connie Podesta Johns Hopkins. UCLA Health. Psychology Today. World Health Organization. Just about every mental health professional in the world right now is helping people navigate Pandemic Fatigue. It’s real. It’s draining. And it is likely to be around for a while. As leaders, now is the time to be proactive about fueling your team’s mental well being with empowering tools, training, support systems – and a little levity. Gagandeep Singh, MD, a psychiatrist at Banner Behavioral Health Hospital in Scottsdale says, “A good laugh can help lighten the mood Read More

Leading Through the Uncertainty:  Breakthrough or Breakdown?

Posted on 09.09.20 | Connie Podesta |

By Hall of Fame Speaker, Leadership Guru, and Award-Winning Author Connie Podesta, MS, CSP, CPAE If you thought leaders were stressed to the breaking point before, throw in a pandemic and some economic turmoil. It’s hard enough to climb the steep hill of adapting to the wild challenges of our new normal but try making that climb while carrying an entire team on your back. That can feel exhausting and, many times, impossible. So, what’s the difference between leaders who can reach new heights during uncertainty with highly engaged, super productive teams versus those who leave workers Read More

Incredible New Reality Strategies for Direct Sales

Posted on 08.20.20 | Connie Podesta |

By Connie Podesta, CSP, CPAE, Hall of Fame Speaker What’s a salesperson to do in a world of unexpected challenge, predictability, and quick-as-a-blink change? Start with this first:  Let go!  Just let go! Sales as usual is OVER!  And there’s no time or value in moaning, regretting, fuming or wishing it wasn’t happening. Instead it is time to sit up, pull it together, and begin to rethink, reformat, reinvest, and reinvent everything you have been doing in sales up to this point. That means even all the good stuff that was working. Every new strategic decision you make now could be a Read More

Creating an Incredible Virtual Experience

Posted on 06.25.20 | Connie Podesta |

By Connie Podesta, CSP, CPAE, Hall of Fame Speaker When a pandemic forced event planners and leaders to cancel all live events almost overnight, it was hard to even imagine what the future would look like. I totally get it. As someone who makes a living speaking to conventions packed with hundreds and thousands of people, often shoulder- to-shoulder, I feel your pain, and your frustration. Social distancing has seriously thrown a big global wrench into all our calendars. The big question for most became – “Now what?” Lockdowns, shelters-in-place, and shuttered stages aside, what hasn’t Read More

The REAL Cost of a Negative Attitude

Posted on 03.10.20 | Connie Podesta |

And How It Affects EVERY Aspect of Your Life By Motivational Hall of Fame Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta The truth is attitude is HUGE when it comes to making the most from your life.  And if yours is a NEGATIVE one?  You can absolutely guarantee that it will cost you promotions, sales, market share, customers, business, friends, and family.  It’s THAT big of a deal. And here’s why…When our attitude is negative, defeating, self-serving, or aggressive it affects EVERYTHING we do.  Our ability to be productive at work.  Our ability to parent.  Our ability to manage relationships.  Our Read More

Success Lies in How We ‘Act’ or ‘React’

Posted on 03.10.20 | Connie Podesta |

By Connie Podesta, Hall of Fame Speaker, CPAE, CSP Success is NOT the result of good timing, karma, coincidence, fate or good luck.  Those are the labels used by people who REACT to what the world sends their way The true key to success is to ACT: Cease excuses. Be accountable. Take responsibility. Stand out. We’re all too familiar with the “react” mode – right?  Wake up in the morning, everything’s fine then boom, we stub a toe, get a tough call from a client, have to learn a new technology platform, the internet crashes…any number of little “disasters” that we allow to derail us.  Read More

9 Top Things You Need to Quit To Repel Toxic People

Posted on 02.25.20 | Connie Podesta |

By Motivational Keynote Speaker and Human Behavior Expert Connie Podesta Toxic people?  Should come with a warning label. You know, like those hazardous materials signs you see in hospitals or demolition sites?  Because they are hazardous to our health. To our well-being. To our emotional state. Our mental state. Our ability to succeed at high levels. To the good relationships they are bent to erode. Our sense of self-worth.  So why do we do it? Why do we keep people like that in our lives?  Well, because change is tough, really tough for most people.  But change is a good thing – even a Read More

Parenting… Like You’ve Never Heard it Before!

Posted on 02.25.20 | Connie Podesta |

by Hall of Fame Keynote Speaker and Human Behavior Expert Connie Podesta As a former therapist and educator - one thing I've been asked A LOT about throughout my career is KIDS. Of all shapes, sizes, and ages. How to raise them well? How to manage teenagers? How to teach them to be respectful and kind? How to handle teach them to be independent OF you -- rather than dependent ON you. There's a lot to take in, and parenting, by far, is one of the most important jobs most of us will ever take on. That's why I created a video series and playlist just for parents with ten powerful (and Read More

Leadership…How to be the Person Others Want to Follow!

Posted on 02.25.20 | Connie Podesta |

The Power of Influence and Empowerment By Business Keynote Speaker and Human Relations Expert Connie Podesta Bottom line? If there was ever a time this world needs great leaders--it is NOW!  But let there be no doubt about it, LEADERSHIP, helping others succeed--is a TOUGH job.  Both a privilege and a life-changing responsibility.
