Keynote Topics Everyone wants and deserves a successful event. That is why this is one of the most important pages on my website. It is where YOU will decide what the BEST message is for your specific group. I have some great topics, and one of them might be a perfect fit for your audience. But if not, no problem. I promise to speak with you personally during the planning stages so I can create a presentation that is exactly what YOU and YOUR audience wants and needs.
After talking with you, I can add include information and stories about your organization. I can take a look at where you have been and where your team is headed. And I can easily adapt my message to YOUR vision, YOUR theme, and YOUR goal for the event. I can even blend some of the topics together if you can’t decide which one you like best. After all, your audience is the most important part of your event, and it is OUR job to make sure they walk away saying, “That was a GREAT message and a valuable use of my time!”
So…take a look at the topics below, then give me a call and let’s talk about what YOU want for YOUR group!
Life Would be Easy if it Weren’t for Other People
Challenge: Helping People Understand the Mystery of Human Behavior
Imagine what you and your team could accomplish if you were able to decode the “mystery” of human behavior as it applies to every aspect of your life! Connie Podesta knows that a key strategy for personal and professional growth is learning as much as possible about yourself and others. Every successful business or relationship hinges on your ability to understand why people do what they do and say what they say so you can ACT rather than REACT to even the most difficult of situations. Connie’s funny and right-on-target presentation will reveal the secret to dealing effectively with every type of personality–including the ones who drive you crazy–so you can enjoy a new level of success, happiness, and satisfaction at work and at home.

Business as Usual is Over
Challenge: Helping People adapt to a changing business environment
It certainly is a different world today. But YOU CAN survive in a highly competitive market IF you understand that business as usual is over. The game has changed. The rules are different. And change is happening at the click of a mouse. Yet these are exactly the times when the true character of a person or an organization shows. Entertaining, yet insightful and always refreshingly candid, Connie Podesta gives you the tools needed to adapt to the demands of an “always on” world where the way it “used to be” may NOT be what works now. If you want to succeed in an environment where dramatic change, new business plan, and realignments are the norm, then you MUST out-perform the competition, out-think old ideas, out-shine past performance and out-maneuver anyone who says it can’t be done. If there was ever a PERFECT time to stand out from the crowd and create an amazing future—it is NOW!

What Psychology Can Teach You that Sales Training Can’t
Challenge: Helping people get into the mind of the buyer
Imagine how many more long-term relationships you could build, sales you could make, and deals you could close IF you understood the mystery of human behavior as it relates to the sales experience. Connie Podesta will demystify the psychology of buying and selling, and share a refreshingly honest look at what works and doesn’t work in today’s competitive business environment. She’ll help you see into the subconscious minds of buyers, teach you how to quickly analyze what they need from you, and understand exactly what they want from the buying experience. Connie also reveals the core differences between selling to men and women, why certain people are NEVER going to buy until one significant change is made to your technique, and how to reach an emerging generation of consumers that have their own set of buying patterns. Get ready to sell like you have never sold before…and enjoy it even more!

Leadership: The role of a lifetime
Challenge: Helping People Influence Others in a Positive Way
YOU have the power and opportunity everyday to lead others to success. The “role” of a leader isn’t defined by a title or corner office, but rather by how you DECIDE to live your life. Shakespeare had it right when he said, “All the world’s a stage,” because every person you know, meet, and communicate with is your “audience.” The choices you make, what you say, and the way you ACT and REACT are based on your personality, beliefs, and character and have the potential power to influence the thoughts, behaviors, ideas, and attitudes of the people around you in either a positive or negative way. With humor, wit, and her trademark no-nonsense style, Connie will share the two most important “secrets” to living the kind of life others would choose to imitate, follow, and respect…as well as the life that will bring you the health, wealth, happiness, and success you deserve.

What Psychology Can Teach You that Management Training Can’t.
Challenge: Helping Management create an environment where employees Want to succeed
Imagine how much your team could accomplish if all of your employees were responsible, hard-working, positive, honest, and self-motivated. Sounds good, right? Now, back to the real world where, unfortunately, this usually isn’t the case. With a blend of fun, wit, and a down-to-earth style, Connie Podesta will decode the mystery of human behavior and help you understand what really “motivates” an employee to go beyond what is expected. Connie will take you into the minds of your team by looking at the psychology of recruiting, training, retaining, leading, and coaching—as well as help you explore your own unique leadership style. The definition of a good leader? Someone others WANT to follow. Get ready to achieve outstanding performance results (and retain your sanity) by learning what works and what doesn’t when it comes to developing a team that wins every time.

Achieving Balance in a Crazy 24/7 World
Challenge: Helping people stay sane when there is just too much to do!
What if you were able to manage all the demands of employers, customers, co-workers, family, and friends while also taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally? Sound impossible? Connie Podesta, an expert in the psychology of human behavior, helps people do just that in a world where seemingly no one sleeps, and even sane people are turning into the workaholic they promised they would never become. Connie uses humor (when is the last time you laughed?) insight, and a realistic take on life to help people re-assess what is important, re-align their priorities, and re-adjust their thinking so they can enjoy the life they work so hard to achieve.
