The Top 10 Things Great Leaders QUIT

The Top 10 Things Great Leaders QUIT

Posted by Connie Podesta

To Avoid Feeling "Lonely at the Top"! By Leadership Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta We've all heard that it can be “lonely at the top.” Well most recent studies, books, and articles agree. They show that many top leaders feel isolated and weighed down by their position? With no one to talk to? And no one with whom to bear the burden of their job? And that isolation can play havoc with their confidence. The decisions they make. And their overall ability to lead effectively. I get it!  I'm certainly no stranger to loneliness. I am constantly traveling – alone. I work in my home office Read More

HAPPINESS is FLAWSOME!

HAPPINESS is FLAWSOME!

Posted by Connie Podesta

Learning to Celebrate Your Imperfections by Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Perfection? Overrated. Unreachable. Exhausting. Impossible. Obsessive. Look, I’m not saying don’t stop reaching for more. Far from it. But no one—NO ONE—is perfect. Happiness is getting to that point in your life where you can say, “I don’t have to have it all, do it all, be the best,” and being all right with that. You know, there’s a very real difference between getting it perfect and giving it all you have. Happiness is about realizing that mistakes are part of life’s crazy plan so we can learn Read More

FIGHT for Your RIGHT to be HAPPY

FIGHT for Your RIGHT to be HAPPY

Posted by Connie Podesta

For All Who Need It By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta When I wrote my book Redefining Happiness, I did so with so many people in mind. My clients. Audience members. Online followers. Friends. Family. Colleagues. I wrote it because I think in our sometimes crazy world we tend to put a lot of things on the top of our to-do lists and somehow happiness, joy, and celebration seemingly creep to the bottom more often than not. We get busy. Overwhelmed. Worked and worked some more. And here’s the crazy part – you won’t believe how many people feel GUILTY about being happy. About Read More

Just Ask Connie… Forget Perfection!

Just Ask Connie… Forget Perfection!

Posted by Connie Podesta

“I am so tired of trying to be what everyone else wants me to be. When will it end?”……… That was the email that woke me up this morning.   A result of a recently posted graphic in my social that said, “You’re allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously.” Wow. That sure opened up the floodgates. People were blowing up my inbox. “But Connie, NO ONE likes it when I am a work in progress”.  “I’ll never be PERFECT, so who will want me?” “How do you keep it all together when deep down you’re a hot mess?” When will it end? When will other people stop pulling at us or Read More

Why it HAS to Start With You By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta I’m very blessed to be able to share with amazing people all over the world. From the tens of thousands I speak to from the stage each year to my incredible friends on social media – one thing that comes up over and over I find is how people often put their “worth” in someone else’s hands.  In other words, they don’t know their own worth, so the let someone else determine that value. Stop. Please stop.  Here’s the amazing thing about you that perhaps no one ever told you before – you are unique and have gifts Read More

Life Totally Changes When You Do By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta I recently made a Facebook post that went something like this: “So what's REALLY stopping you? From going for your dreams? Taking that trip? Taking care of yourself? Living life to the fullest? I can tell you what it is not - it's not someone else, something else, time or even money. We make happen what we make a priority. Isn't it time you moved yourself up the list of things that are IMPORTANT?” It was immediately followed by a volley of questions, messages, and emails from readers who wanted to know Read More

What I Discovered in the Nothingness…

And How it’s Changed Everything By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta This vacation was my best ever. I did nothing. We didn't sightsee. I didn't learn anything new. I didn't read anything non-fiction. I literally -- did nothing productive! I read a romance novel. Drank mint and cucumber water. Watched Netflix. Had a crunchy salad. Walked along the ocean. Meditated. Had a watermelon salad. Snuggled. Snacked. Watched the sunset. Had a great white wine. Walked some more. Ate wonderful seafood. Slept. And slept some more. Floated in the ocean. Had a fresh fruit smoothie. Got a 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

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

Do I keep negative people in my life? Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta

Negative People in Your Life?

Negative People in Your Life?

Posted by Connie Podesta

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. That created a slew of variations of one big question:  “Do I leave someone just because THEY are negative?” Good question!  First step?  We’re talking about the people you can CHOOSE to walk away from.  Unhealthy relationships lack respect.  Joy. Mutual trust.  Toxic Read More
