Navigating Change with Resilience and a Little Humor

Navigating Change with Resilience and a Little Humor

Posted by Connie Podesta

Navigating change requires resilience, fresh perspectives, and adaptive strategies to thrive today and turn uncertainty into opportunity with confidence. Change is tough. Change in today’s world—where shifts in technology, market dynamics, and the ways we connect impact home and business in every conceivable way? It can feel overwhelming, halting progress for individuals, teams, and companies alike. So, how do we get people to lean into their resilience? To silence that inner voice of doubt and return to leading, serving, connecting, selling, and communicating in adaptive, innovative 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

Take Charge of Your Personal Life So Your Professional Life Can Soar

Posted by Connie Podesta

By Connie Podesta, CSP, CPAE, Hall of Fame Speaker Personal and Professional First of all - the idea of personal and professional balance is really a myth. You don't have a personal life and a professional life - you have a life -- and the two most DEFINITELY are intertwined.  Chances are that despite your best attempts to keep the two separate, the quality and stability of your personal life often have a direct impact upon the quality and success of your professional life. In fact, for many people, their professional life mirrors their personal life. When your personal life is stable and Read More

The Psychology and Leadership Connection by Leadership Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta I was interviewed by a member of the California Special Districts ahead of their CSDA’s Annual Conference. The topic was leadership -- and the message (for the article and the keynote) is how leaders can use the power of psychology to help them drive bottom-line results for their teams. Psychology = profits and productivity. I shared, that for most people, their JOB isn't actually the thing that holds a team member back. It's the PEOPLE that they work with and their inability to communicate, understand, Read More

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

Rah Rah Or REAL Results?

Posted by Connie Podesta

What's Changing for Event Planners and Audiences? by Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta When people ask me if I am a Motivational Speaker I always answer that I definitely motivate audiences to stand up and be accountable. Be proactive. Deal with change. Increase their sales. Rev up performance. Attract more customers. Lead with integrity.  Collaborate more. And be a role model. But I am NOT a “rah-rah, dream your dream, you can have whatever you want with the right attitude” kind of speaker.  Why? One is because that type of motivation is not long-lasting. It's a quick fix in a world Read More
