Connie's Experience Adds Relevance to Presentations

A presentation by Connie Podesta will have a dramatic and positive impact on your audience, leaving them with a renewed sense of commitment to educate by example and teach with passion. Connie brings a refreshing new vitality and insight to education audiences because of her own extensive educational background and experience.

As both an educator and life-long student, Connie knows her subject matter and connects with her audiences as a colleague.

  • Connie has a bachelor's degree in communications and business and a master's degree in human relations and counseling. She has been a well-known and trusted educator for more than 30 years and has classroom experience at all levels: elementary, middle school, high school, and three state universities.

  • Connie is a Board Certified Professional Counselor, an organizational therapist, and an expert in the psychology of human behavior.

  • Connie has been a keynote speaker to thousands of educators and has presented standing-room-only sessions at the National Elementary School Association, and the American Association of School Administrators.

  • Connie has the ability to tackle the toughest educational issues, coupled with her first-hand experience of the rewarding but often complex frustrating and stressful nature of the education industry.

  • Connie connects with all levels: administrators, teachers, support staff, board members, and community/business interests.

  • Connie as both the passion and credentials needed to speak to educators. Connie believes educators have a right to expect only the BEST, but in return, they must give the very BEST of themselves. There's no better role model for "how it should be done" than Connie Podesta!
Educational Testimonials

"Based on the overwhelming responses from the participants, it is safe to say that you were the best speaker in over 14 years!"

University of Delaware

"It was the best in-service presentation I have ever attended. Our teaching staff left with an excitement that I have not seen in past years. The start of our school year has been the best I have ever experienced. I believe it is a direct result of your presentation and our emphasis on being positive."

New Knoxville Local School

"Evaluations from the MEA Instruction and Professional Development Conference were overwhelmingly positive and filled with exuberance about your presentation. We are all richer for our experience with you."

Michigan Education Association

"Seasoned professional counselors and mental health professionals, veterans at attending and presenting workshops, left your presentation saying this was by far the very best and most helpful workshop they have ever attended."

Texas Counseling Association

"Connie, you were a sensation and it's a compliment to you that you brought the audience to their feet with a standing ovation. The participants left with a supportive, satisfied outlook for having had the experience."

Florida Department of Education

"You got right to the heart and soul of the matter of teaching—and why the teaching profession HAS to be about excellence and commitment! To say that we were all inspired might be the understatement of the century."

Auglaize County Educational Service Center

"You far exceeded our expectations. What a hit! We have never had a presenter with your amount of energy. You not only made us laugh, but you made us think and challenged us to be better educators."

Davis County Community School

"We cannot begin to express to you our appreciation for the positive impact you have had on our community… Your message impacted far more than the 3,000 people who heard you while you were here."

Franklin Community School Corporation

"Connie challenged us to consider ‘if the business of education is conducted with strict standards of work ethic and discipline, then a cost-effective bottom line of successful kids results.' Connie's ‘get off your duff and teach like your life depends on it' approach may be too direct for slackers in any organization. For teachers, it's not their life but their students' futures that are at stake. We find ourselves asking, ‘What's the Podesta approach to this?' We have been forever transformed by your message. Thank you for the candor, the vigor, and sincerity of your dynamic ideas!"
