Fight for What You’re Worth

Posted by Connie Podesta

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

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.

Posted by Connie Podesta

By Motivational Keynote Speaker and Human Behavior Expert Connie Podesta Bad choices? Sure, we all make them.
