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

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

How to Get People On Board Podcast

Posted by Connie Podesta

An Interview with Rory Vaden I had a lot to share in a recent interview with Rory Vaden, a leader from the Daily Discipline Blog. Here are a few highlights of what we covered:  -       Why your kids, your spouse, your team members, and your customers aren't listening to you. -       How to get anyone “on board” with your ideas in the first few seconds. -       Find out if you are a “Relator” or a “Bottom-liner” and how it impacts your influence -       Why being a great leader requires you to be a great influencer… -       If someone is to be uncomfortable in the sales Read More

Change is in Your DNA (Quit Worrying…You Can Do This!)

Change is in Your DNA (Quit Worrying…You Can Do This!)

Posted by Connie Podesta

You know the old saying, “We can’t live with it and we can’t live without it?” Well that certainly applies to change.  None of us can quite get our heads wrapped around how we feel about change.  Sometimes it’s AWESOME. New places to visit.  Exciting new job.  Intriguing options. Plateaus to overcome.  Limitations to conquer.  End of boredom.  Beginning of excitement.  But then there’s the other side to change.  You know – that gut feeling that tells us we are in over our heads.  Brain freeze.  Anxiety. Anger.  Attitude that says “what was wrong with the way we used to do it?” Unknowns. Loss. Read More

Overcoming the Challenges of Change

Overcoming the Challenges of Change

Posted by Connie Podesta

by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Being a professional motivational speaker is such an awesome job--but sometimes something happens at an event-- that even for an old seasoned pro like myself--makes me so glad I do what I do. First of all, Colorado Springs is one of my all-time favorite places, especially when it gets me away from the 100 degree heat of Dallas. The event audience was mostly guys who sell to small, family-owned businesses. One of the topics I was asked to touch on was....social media! So I started by telling my story "Texting Harry" which is also the title of one of my Read More
