Re-Thinking Your CHOICES.
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.

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.

How to Survive a Crisis
How to Survive a Crisis
Fighting for Happiness in the Midst of Tragedy By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Whoa! Life is moving along just fine, thank you very much—when out of the blue, it hits us—a crisis!

Passive Aggressive Personality Issues?
