What the “No Goal Setters” Do This Time of Year…

What the “No Goal Setters” Do This Time of Year…

Posted by Connie Podesta

by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Like most people I guess, I’m excited about the coming of a new year.  Clean slates, fresh starts, new opportunities and new people.  It’s funny when you’re someone like me – one of those NON-GOAL-SETTERS to see everyone already busy with resolution lists and goal charts.  Yeah, that’s not me.  I’m more of a ‘take the world as it comes’ kind of gal, and I like it that way.  It gives me more freedom to roll with the punches, choose new paths, open new doors and see opportunities where I otherwise might not if I were focused solely on “the Read More

Motivation — No Pom Poms Required!

by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Pssst...I’m going to share with you a little “inside secret.”  “Motivational?”  Wasn’t always my thing.  Look, I LOVE what I do – I mean REALLY love it.  Getting people fired up and eager to embrace and adopt change in their lives.  Watching those “light bulbs” go off when I’ve said just the right thing to get them off of the fence and into an action plan that can change the course of their career or even their life.  That’s good stuff – right? But I fought the “motivational” part of it. For a long time. In my mind if you were a “motivational Read More

Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta on Managing Change

Change. Deal with it.

Change. Deal with it.

Posted by Connie Podesta

by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta As a motivational speaker, clients often ask if I have a keynote topic about "How to Deal with Change." And my answer is always "Yes, I do. It is a four-word workshop and the title is ‘Change. Deal With It!’” It always gets a laugh --until they realize I'm serious. I can read their minds. They think, "What?

10 Things to QUIT Starting Today

To Build the Life You Really Want By Motivational Keynote Speaker and Human Relationship Expert Connie Podesta Ever hear that saying that says before you can grab hold of what you really want you’ve got to let go of what’s you’re currently holding on to so tightly?  That’s what I want to talk about in this article.  Those things that no longer serve you and those things that frankly, NEVER did.  Let them GO so you can be happier. More successful.  More balanced.  Less stressed.  And for some of you – a whole lot more fun to be around.  (Ouch!) Ready to dig in a little and see if any Read More
