Keeping Pace with Joy, Balance, and Success By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Procrastination is the silent killer of ambition, productivity, achievement, even peace and balance. And most importantly, it undermines your own HAPPINESS. Trust me, putting things off causes more stress, worry, and insecurity about the future than just taking a deep breath and taking the first step. Where to start? ANYWHERE. When I find myself trying to avoid something, I look for the easiest place to start. The cheapest. The least frightening. The most accessible. The most comfortable. The Read More
HEALTH is the Heart of HAPPINESS
HEALTH is the Heart of HAPPINESS
Redefining the Good Things in Life By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Every piece of research shows that HAPPINESS can absolutely have a positive effect on your health in zillions of ways. Every organ in your body thrives on HAPPINESS. It allows you to be calmer, sleep better, eat healthier, exercise more, and make better choices all around when it comes to YOUR life. UNHAPPINESS does the exact opposite. It attracts illness; lowers your immune system so you can’t resist disease; stockpiles nature’s all-natural, good-feeling chemicals, such as endorphins, instead of Read More

Negative People in Your Life?
Remember the Three C's By Motivational Keynote Speaker and Expert in Human Behavior Connie Podesta On social media this past couple of weeks, we’ve been talking a lot lately about taking CONTROL of your life in terms of health, happiness, and ridding yourself of toxic thoughts, habits, and sometimes even PEOPLE.

Unhealthy relationships lack respect. Joy. Mutual trust. Toxic Read More
The #1 Reason People Either Fail or Succeed
The #1 Reason People Either Fail or Succeed
COMMUNICATION: More Important Than EVER in Our Frantic 24/7 World By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Communication used to be my #1 topic. But not anymore. Now, people are lulled by the flashy, new, quirky “it” topics-- Innovation. Collaboration. Integration. Synergy. And the list goes on. These topics definitely sounds trendier than just the simple old-school communication topic. But let’s be honest. The flashiest topics in the world still depend on one thing—YOUR ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE your ideas, thoughts, feelings, and concerns in a way that allows people to Read More
Balance: It’s NEVER About Time
Balance: It’s NEVER About Time
Changing Your Perspective on What it REALLY Means to Find Balance By Motivational Keynote Speaker and Change Expert Connie Podesta BALANCE? It seems like everyone’s talking about it right now, but more often than not, people are struggling to make it all feel like it’s evened out. The truth is? It’s never going to be EVEN. We live in busy times and lead busy lives and work takes up an incredible amount of our waking hours. And while that is a reality – it doesn’t HAVE to be a negative. When writing the book on balance for my 10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd, it’s a topic we Read More

Want More BALANCE?
A Change and a Choice By Keynote Speaker and Change Expert Connie Podesta I can just imagine what you are thinking right now. "Seriously? Where do I find more time when I'm so busy I can barely breathe? In a holiday season where I should be putting other people first and me last? " I hear you. I've been there. But let's be honest. It's not a matter of finding a few minutes--it's the reluctance to change your routine, prioritize differently or rethink your options that keeps you so very busy. Two things must happen if you truly want some balance in your life. One, you must truly Read More
How to Survive a Crisis
How to Survive a Crisis
Fighting for Happiness in the Midst of Tragedy By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Whoa! Life is moving along just fine, thank you very much—when out of the blue, it hits us—a crisis! For me it was a recent house fire which destroyed 90% of everything material that I owned, loved and cared for. A crisis is something so far from what we wanted or expected that it totally knocks the breath out of us. “It’s like a dream,” we say. “I’m going to wake up and discover this never ever happened at all.” But unfortunately we don’t wake up. There it is, a looming force to be reckoned Read More

The Number One Mistake Leaders Make? The Answer Might Surprise You
By Leadership Keynote Speaker and Author Connie Podesta I’ve been an expert in human behavior for more than 25 years.

EVERYONE is in Sales… Regardless of Job Title
EVERYONE is in Sales… Regardless of Job Title
As a Keynote Speaker, I often ask my audience: exactly what IS your title? Or perhaps I should say titles plural since we’re often asked to wear many hats these days in our hustling, bustling work environment. And their answers? Are all over the board. Bottom line: No matter what your job title or description, ALL of us are in SALES. Oh, and if you don’t realize that SALES is the single, most important aspect of your job, then you will never experience the success you want and deserve. “Whoa now,” some of them reply, “No way. I don’t like, want to be in, have an Read More

The Power of Influence and Empowerment By Business Motivational Speaker and Human Relations Expert Connie Podesta Bottom line? If there was ever a time this world needs great leaders--it is NOW!
