Take Charge of Your Personal Life So Your Professional Life Can Soar
Take Charge of Your Personal Life So Your Professional Life Can Soar
By Connie Podesta, CSP, CPAE, Hall of Fame Speaker Personal and Professional First of all - the idea of personal and professional balance is really a myth. You don't have a personal life and a professional life - you have a life -- and the two most DEFINITELY are intertwined. Chances are that despite your best attempts to keep the two separate, the quality and stability of your personal life often have a direct impact upon the quality and success of your professional life. In fact, for many people, their professional life mirrors their personal life. When your personal life is stable and Read More
Unpacking the Psychology Behind Incredible Leadership
Unpacking the Psychology Behind Incredible Leadership
By Hall of Fame Speaker, Award Winning Author. Connie Podesta, CSP, CPAE Great leadership is 10% smart business strategies and 90% psychology.

Quit Accepting the Status Quo
Quit Accepting the Status Quo
By Hall of Fame Speaker, Award Winning Author. Connie Podesta, CSP, CPAE In my extensive work with leaders, I’ve noticed that they tend to perceive innovation as something that’s bigger than life: new, outrageous, unthinkable, complicated concepts that are wildly different from anything we’ve ever imagined. Not intimidating at all. With so many daily challenges, it’s easy for leaders to coast along with “business as usual” until the really big idea or the light-bulb-moment happens to come along.

What's Changing for Event Planners and Audiences? by Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta When people ask me if I am a Motivational Speaker I always answer that I definitely motivate audiences to stand up and be accountable. Be proactive. Deal with change. Increase their sales. Rev up performance. Attract more customers. Lead with integrity. Collaborate more. And be a role model.

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.
