Quit Underestimating the Importance of Childhood Messages

Quit Underestimating the Importance of Childhood Messages

Posted by Connie Podesta

By Human Behavior Expert & Hall of Fame Speaker Connie Podesta Straight talk? If you’re 25, 65+ years old or anywhere in between and you’re still blaming your parents for a few (or many) things you believe are responsible for the condition of your life right now – then you’re totally on the wrong path. Now I’m not saying to discount any negative childhood messages or experiences.  I’m definitely 100% an advocate for children who’ve been through trauma and I know what that means moving into adulthood. What I am saying is that when you reach the age of adulthood, it’s time to use your Read More

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

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?

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

Like It or Not: You ARE a Leader

Like It or Not: You ARE a Leader

Posted by Connie Podesta

Leadership Perceptions De-Bunked By Hall of Fame Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Bottom line?  YOU ARE A LEADER. All the time.  Whether you’re at work or at home.   Employed or stay at home parent.  Paid job or volunteer. Willing or unwilling.  Honestly?  It doesn’t make any difference what you do or choose not do.  Even if you THINK you are a follower and always avoid center stage, you can’t escape the fact that you are ALWAYS in the position to influence other people’s thoughts, actions and attitudes.  That’s quite a responsibility.  We influence others all the time.  By what we say and 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

Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta - Procrastination

HAPPINESS Doesn’t PROCRASTINATE

HAPPINESS Doesn’t PROCRASTINATE

Posted by Connie Podesta

Keeping Pace with Joy, Balance, and Success By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Procrastination is the silent killer of ambition, productivity, achievement, even peace and balance. And most importantly, it undermines your own HAPPINESS. Trust me, putting things off causes more stress, worry, and insecurity about the future than just taking a deep breath and taking the first step. Where to start?  ANYWHERE.  When I find myself trying to avoid something, I look for the easiest place to start. The cheapest. The least frightening. The most accessible. The most comfortable. The Read More

HEALTH is the Heart of HAPPINESS

HEALTH is the Heart of HAPPINESS

Posted by Connie Podesta

Redefining the Good Things in Life By Motivational Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta Every piece of research shows that HAPPINESS can absolutely have a positive effect on your health in zillions of ways. Every organ in your body thrives on HAPPINESS. It allows you to be calmer, sleep better, eat healthier, exercise more, and make better choices all around when it comes to YOUR life. UNHAPPINESS does the exact opposite. It attracts illness; lowers your immune system so you can’t resist disease; stockpiles nature’s all-natural, good-feeling chemicals, such as endorphins, instead of Read More

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

How to Survive a Crisis

How to Survive a Crisis

Posted by Connie Podesta

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! For me it was a recent house fire which destroyed 90% of everything material that I owned, loved and cared for. A crisis is something so far from what we wanted or expected that it totally knocks the breath out of us. “It’s like a dream,” we say. “I’m going to wake up and discover this never ever happened at all.” But unfortunately we don’t wake up. There it is, a looming force to be reckoned Read More

EVERYONE is in Sales… Regardless of Job Title

EVERYONE is in Sales… Regardless of Job Title

Posted by Connie Podesta

  As a Keynote Speaker, I often ask my audience:  exactly what IS your title?  Or perhaps I should say titles plural since we’re often asked to wear many hats these days in our hustling, bustling work environment. And their answers?  Are all over the board. Bottom line:  No matter what your job title or description, ALL of us are in SALES.  Oh, and if you don’t realize that SALES is the single, most important aspect of your job, then you will never experience the success you want and deserve. “Whoa now,” some of them reply, “No way.  I don’t like, want to be in, have an Read More
