Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta on Happiness

Quit Searching for Happiness…

Quit Searching for Happiness…

Posted by Connie Podesta

That’s right.  Cut it out.  Too often we spend SO much time LOOKING for something to make us happy.  Make us feel BETTER.  Make us STRONGER.  Make us more WHOLE.  Guess what?  It’s not OUT THERE.  It’s right INSIDE you.  Believe it or not you were born with all the key ingredients for happiness, success, strength and wholeness.  Sometimes you’ve got to just dig down and find it.  I’ve found that for a lot of people – the trick to that is to QUIT.  Not give up, mind you, but rather to quit getting in your own way.  Quit doubting.  Quit over-analyzing.  Quit sabotaging yourself. Quit denying Read More

What the “No Goal Setters” Do This Time of Year…

What the “No Goal Setters” Do This Time of Year…

Posted by Connie Podesta

by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Like most people I guess, I’m excited about the coming of a new year.  Clean slates, fresh starts, new opportunities and new people.  It’s funny when you’re someone like me – one of those NON-GOAL-SETTERS to see everyone already busy with resolution lists and goal charts.  Yeah, that’s not me.  I’m more of a ‘take the world as it comes’ kind of gal, and I like it that way.  It gives me more freedom to roll with the punches, choose new paths, open new doors and see opportunities where I otherwise might not if I were focused solely on “the Read More

Connie Podesta Holiday Gift

One Holiday Down…Get Ready for Anything!

One Holiday Down…Get Ready for Anything!

Posted by Connie Podesta

by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Phew!  One holiday down, a few more to go!  It was terrific to  see so much response from the last post about managing holiday family drama (without losing it) and dealing with those pesky little issues like guilt, control and sometimes all out tantrums. So I thought it might be a great time to share another special “treat” with you.  It’s sure to be better than cookies and WAY better than fruitcake!  I want to share with you a little inside scoop on what makes people do what they do and say what they say so that you can better maneuver and manage Read More

How to Fire Someone and NOT Feel Guilty!

How to Fire Someone and NOT Feel Guilty!

Posted by Connie Podesta

by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta... It's one of the toughest things leadership has to face.  Firing, letting go...laying off.  It's stressful, uncomfortable and awkward for most managers.  I have a few thoughts on the topic that I'd like to share from a leadership interview I did... I hope it makes a difference for you...   Leadership takes courage, more so now than I think in a very long time.  Expectations are high and truly a lot is on the line.  As a leadership speaker, I'm always focused on giving managers and team leaders new insights, strategies and solutions Read More

Motivation — No Pom Poms Required!

Motivation — No Pom Poms Required!

Posted by Connie Podesta

by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Pssst...I’m going to share with you a little “inside secret.”  “Motivational?”  Wasn’t always my thing.  Look, I LOVE what I do – I mean REALLY love it.  Getting people fired up and eager to embrace and adopt change in their lives.  Watching those “light bulbs” go off when I’ve said just the right thing to get them off of the fence and into an action plan that can change the course of their career or even their life.  That’s good stuff – right? But I fought the “motivational” part of it. For a long time. In my mind if you were a “motivational Read More

Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta on Managing Change

Change. Deal with it.

Change. Deal with it.

Posted by Connie Podesta

by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta As a motivational speaker, clients often ask if I have a keynote topic about "How to Deal with Change." And my answer is always "Yes, I do. It is a four-word workshop and the title is ‘Change. Deal With It!’” It always gets a laugh --until they realize I'm serious. I can read their minds. They think, "What? No sympathy for what we are going through? No techniques on how to 'survive' change? No words of wisdom telling us we need to 'embrace' change? No lectures on how to be a better 'change agent'?" Nope, none from me. Why? Because the truth is: Read More
