Are You Dealing With Change or Does Change Have to Deal with YOU?

Are You Dealing With Change or Does Change Have to Deal with YOU?

Posted by Connie Podesta

A Little Truth About Change By Keynote Speaker and Human Behavior Expert Connie Podesta Bottom line:  The companies I interview say that without a doubt that one of the top traits they are looking for when deciding who to hire, who to fire and who to promote is a person’s ability to quickly and effectively adapt and adopt to CHANGE without resisting, complaining and becoming overwhelmed. So -- does that describe your go-to reaction when faced with significant change?  I hope so.  Change?  It’s going to happen, whether you’re ready or not.  Like it or not. Want it or not.  You don’t Read More

LEADERSHIP—What Works and What Doesn’t!

LEADERSHIP—What Works and What Doesn’t!

Posted by Connie Podesta

And How You Can Make it WORK For You By Leadership Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta As I work with leaders, managers and supervisors around the world, I keep running into the same four leadership styles. One is amazingly effective and promotes a healthy, productive environment and the other three? Well they do exactly the opposite. They create havoc. Lack of motivation. Disruption. Teams that can’t work together. Low productivity. Resistance to change. And high turnover. Let’s take a look at what DOESN”T work first. Number one: The micro-manager. You know the type. Overachieving, Read More

How You Approach Work Makes All the Difference in the World!

The Difference Between a Calling, a Career, and "Just a Job" By Business Motivational Keynote Speaker and Human Behavior expert Connie Podesta After speaking to and interviewing thousands of people throughout my career, it became very apparent to me that individuals basically approach their life’s work in one of three ways.  Take a peek at each three descriptions and see which one DESCRIBES YOU the best. A Calling. Do you have an absolute innate gift for what you do?  You know – where you have that feeling that you were born to do whatever it is you do.  Selling.  Teaching.  Planning. Read More

Finding Your Balance.

Finding Your Balance.

Posted by Connie Podesta

It's Not About Equal Time  by Keynote Speaker and Human Relationship Expert Connie Podesta As a motivational keynote speaker in today's sometimes chaotic world, I'm often asked by clients to deliver a message on BALANCE and I'm happy to share.  The truth is balance will never, EVER be about equal time.  It's just not.  For anyone who works, enjoys a career, has outside interests, volunteers, is a parent, is a spouse or partner, has aging parents -- you name it - you can't equal out the time. “Balancing Home and Career” gives the illusion that there’s a magical way to equalize these two Read More

How to Turn Limitations Into Strengths

How to Turn Limitations Into Strengths

Posted by Connie Podesta

And See Yourself in a Whole New Light by Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta So it’s a no brainer that we need to leverage our strengths.  If…we even know what they are.  Unfortunately most people are so focused on what they can’t do or wish they could do, that they don’t even take time to realize what they can bring to the table.  So step one.  Figure out exactly what it is you do really well.  And be proud of it.  Let people know about it.  Find ways to bring those talents into your job.  Your relationships.  Your quest for success.  Even your health. Here’s a tip:  Don‘t 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

Never SETTLE for Less Than You Deserve

Never SETTLE for Less Than You Deserve

Posted by Connie Podesta

Getting More from Your Life and Time By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Too often we see those who respect others and treat others with kindness and compassion--but then manage to not be nearly as kind of themselves. They SETTLE for less than they deserve. Here’s what you need to know:  When people believe that true love, more money, losing weight, a promotion, or a bigger house is the thing they need before they can be truly happy, then they invariably SETTLE for less.  In their attempt to find the solution to their unhappiness, they will grab the first thing that comes Read More

Take the Wheel!

Take the Wheel!

Posted by Connie Podesta

Taking Charge of a Memorable Life By Hall-of-Fame Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Coincidence. Luck. Karma. Fate. Chance.  Words tossed around A LOT lately, right?  Sometimes as excuses for bad choices, right?  Sometimes heard from those who believe that life is just lobbing lemons at them and there’s no recipe for lemonade.  And sometimes, the foundation for lives lived unfulfilled and unhappy because people resign themselves to the fact that ‘that’s just the way life is.” No.  The truth is you can feel POWERLESS, and take on the ‘life’s unfair’ attitude, or you can feel Read More

How to Successfully Sell to Women (And Men)

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
