Like It or Not: You ARE a Leader

Like It or Not: You ARE a Leader

Posted by Connie Podesta

Leadership Perceptions De-Bunked By Hall of Fame Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Bottom line?  YOU ARE A LEADER. All the time.  Whether you’re at work or at home.   Employed or stay at home parent.  Paid job or volunteer. Willing or unwilling.  Honestly?  It doesn’t make any difference what you do or choose not do.  Even if you THINK you are a follower and always avoid center stage, you can’t escape the fact that you are ALWAYS in the position to influence other people’s thoughts, actions and attitudes.  That’s quite a responsibility.  We influence others all the time.  By what we say and Read More

Re-Thinking Your CHOICES.

Re-Thinking Your CHOICES.

Posted by Connie Podesta

It's All About Perspective by Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta The truth is?  The difference between being POWERFUL and POWERLESS in our lives really does come down to CHOICE.  We can ACT or REACT.  We can find the GOOD or the BAD in any given situation.  We can LEARN from each day or keep repeating old habits and patterns.  It's up to us.  Each of us. Every day.  If  what you want is to live differently.  Abundantly.  Purposefully.  Creatively.  You absolutely CAN.  It all starts with taking CHARGE of your life. TAKING CHARGE means: No more excuses Being accountable Read More

Understanding Generational Mindsets

Understanding Generational Mindsets

Posted by Connie Podesta

A Lesson in Generations By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta I was interviewed while keynoting a leadership conference a while back and asked the question, “What can leaders do to help the generational diversity out there?”  It was a good question and one that I think is really important for today’s leaders.  You know, it’s easy to play the blame game-right?  The older generation is quick to judge the younger generations and the younger generation, frankly is quick to do the same. Here’s the deal.  The Baby Boomers are known for being hard workers, nose-to-the-grindstone Read More

How to Successfully Sell to Women (And Men)

Posted by Connie Podesta

And Why This Book May Be NOT What You Expected by Motivational Keynote Speaker and Author Connie Podesta The truth is - times have CHANGED.  And smart, savvy salespeople are willing to make changes too in order to grow their business and keep their clients happy.  That's one of the reasons I wrote the book How to Make a Fortune Selling to Women.  One thing that has become crystal clear in recent years is that statistics show that women influence 85% of all purchasing decisions. However, most sales training focuses on selling to men. So I was asked by audience  members and clients to come Read More

Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta - Procrastination

HAPPINESS Doesn’t PROCRASTINATE

HAPPINESS Doesn’t PROCRASTINATE

Posted by Connie Podesta

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

Posted by Connie Podesta

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

Want More BALANCE?

Posted by Connie Podesta

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
