Quit Underestimating the Importance of a Non-Disruptive Work Environment

Posted by Connie Podesta

Leadership: The Irony of Disruption by Business Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Scan the pages of any business publication, and you’ll come away with the message that successful leaders are supposed to innovate. Disrupt. Push the envelope. Think outside the box. Break the rules. Oh yes, disruption is very trendy right now.  Let’s dive into that. Businesses have played a bit of a semantics game with the word “disruption.” For most of our lives, disruption was something to be avoided because it led to discord, turmoil, and problems.

COMMUNICATION:  More Important Than EVER in Our Frantic 24/7 World By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Communication used to be my #1 topic.  But not anymore. Now, people are lulled by the flashy, new, quirky “it” topics-- Innovation.  Collaboration.  Integration.  Synergy. And the list goes on.  These topics definitely sounds trendier than just the simple old-school communication topic.  But let’s be honest.  The flashiest topics in the world still depend on one thing—YOUR ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE your ideas, thoughts, feelings, and concerns in a way that allows people to Read More

Leadership is a Powerful Privilege…

Leadership is a Powerful Privilege…

Posted by Connie Podesta

by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Reality: Leadership is a powerful privilege--open to everyone, regardless of title or job description. Leadership is about how you CHOOSE to live your life. Often people tell me that they would hate to do what I do—speak to thousands of people every year. And I get that.

That means that most of you would rather have me come into your house, hold your head under water until you were dead—than Read More
