Sales Like You’ve Never Heard Before!

Sales Like You’ve Never Heard Before!

Posted by Connie Podesta

The Secret is Understanding the Psychology of Human Behavior! By International Sales Guru and Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Let me say this loud and clear.  I absolutely LOVE speaking to sales groups.  Any kind of sales. Franchise sales. Corporate Sales. Real Estate Sales. Insurance Sales. Direct Sales. Financial Sales. You name it.  Why? Because unlike many jobs– salespeople have the power to impact their earnings in a very measurable way.  As a result, they are passionate about learning just about everything they can.  New strategies for closing the deal.  Techniques to use to “ask Read More

Are You Dealing With Change or Does Change Have to Deal with YOU?

Are You Dealing With Change or Does Change Have to Deal with YOU?

Posted by Connie Podesta

A Little Truth About Change By Keynote Speaker and Human Behavior Expert Connie Podesta Bottom line:  The companies I interview say that without a doubt that one of the top traits they are looking for when deciding who to hire, who to fire and who to promote is a person’s ability to quickly and effectively adapt and adopt to CHANGE without resisting, complaining and becoming overwhelmed. So -- does that describe your go-to reaction when faced with significant change?  I hope so.  Change?  It’s going to happen, whether you’re ready or not.  Like it or not. Want it or not.  You don’t Read More

How You Approach Work Makes All the Difference in the World!

How You Approach Work Makes All the Difference in the World!

Posted by Connie Podesta

The Difference Between a Calling, a Career, and "Just a Job" By Business Motivational Keynote Speaker and Human Behavior expert Connie Podesta After speaking to and interviewing thousands of people throughout my career, it became very apparent to me that individuals basically approach their life’s work in one of three ways.  Take a peek at each three descriptions and see which one DESCRIBES YOU the best. A Calling. Do you have an absolute innate gift for what you do?  You know – where you have that feeling that you were born to do whatever it is you do.  Selling.  Teaching.  Planning. Read More

Rah Rah Or REAL Results?

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 definitely NOT a “rah-rah, dream your dream, you can have whatever you want with the right attitude” kind of speaker.  Why? One, because that type of motivation is not long-lasting. It's a quick fix in a Read More

Finding Your Balance.

Finding Your Balance.

Posted by Connie Podesta

It's Not About Equal Time  by Keynote Speaker and Human Relationship Expert Connie Podesta As a motivational keynote speaker in today's sometimes chaotic world, I'm often asked by clients to deliver a message on BALANCE and I'm happy to share.  The truth is balance will never, EVER be about equal time.  It's just not.  For anyone who works, enjoys a career, has outside interests, volunteers, is a parent, is a spouse or partner, has aging parents -- you name it - you can't equal out the time. “Balancing Home and Career” gives the illusion that there’s a magical way to equalize these two Read More

Re-Thinking Your CHOICES.

Re-Thinking Your CHOICES.

Posted by Connie Podesta

It's All About Perspective by Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta The truth is?  The difference between being POWERFUL and POWERLESS in our lives really does come down to CHOICE.  We can ACT or REACT.  We can find the GOOD or the BAD in any given situation.  We can LEARN from each day or keep repeating old habits and patterns.  It's up to us.  Each of us. Every day.  If  what you want is to live differently.  Abundantly.  Purposefully.  Creatively.  You absolutely CAN.  It all starts with taking CHARGE of your life. TAKING CHARGE means: No more excuses Being accountable Read More

How to Turn Limitations Into Strengths

How to Turn Limitations Into Strengths

Posted by Connie Podesta

And See Yourself in a Whole New Light by Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta So it’s a no brainer that we need to leverage our strengths.  If…we even know what they are.  Unfortunately most people are so focused on what they can’t do or wish they could do, that they don’t even take time to realize what they can bring to the table.  So step one.  Figure out exactly what it is you do really well.  And be proud of it.  Let people know about it.  Find ways to bring those talents into your job.  Your relationships.  Your quest for success.  Even your health. Here’s a tip:  Don‘t Read More

Understanding Generational Mindsets

Understanding Generational Mindsets

Posted by Connie Podesta

A Lesson in Generations By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta I was interviewed while keynoting a leadership conference a while back and asked the question, “What can leaders do to help the generational diversity out there?”  It was a good question and one that I think is really important for today’s leaders.  You know, it’s easy to play the blame game-right?  The older generation is quick to judge the younger generations and the younger generation, frankly is quick to do the same. Here’s the deal.  The Baby Boomers are known for being hard workers, nose-to-the-grindstone 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
