Personal Message

It’s important that you be completely comfortable with the personality and message of any speaker you invite to address your organization. While Web sites and marketing materials certainly provide vital information necessary to make a decision, they still only tell a fraction of the story. You’re invited to read a personal message from Connie Podesta where she’ll let you in on what she’s really like and why she is so passionate about what she does.

Personal Message from Connie Podesta

Selecting a speaker is a reflection on your reputation. Find the right one and you’ll be a hero. Find one that doesn’t live up to the hype and you can be sure that the company will never let you forget about it. Even as you’re reading this short message, you can probably look around your desk and see the piles of marketing information you’re going through, including mine, in the quest to find the perfect speaker. How can you be sure you’re making a good choice?

I thought it might help to tell you a little bit more about what I’m like and the beliefs that guide what I do. It’s just another way that you’ll see I go beyond the everyday speaker.

• So what am I like? Well, how many comedians do you know that are also licensed therapists? While that’s a unique combination, it tells you something very interesting about me. The therapist in me sees a great need to challenge people to make choices that will lead to happier, healthier, more productive and more successful lives. And though this world that can be demanding at times, the comic in me can’t help but express the sense of humor and love of life that can be found when we look just a little bit closer.
• At my core, I have a deep-seeded belief that people have an innate desire and ability to change. To be better, perform better and feel better in their jobs, their relationships and their selves. That’s why I have made it my life’s work to help thousands of people realize these desires, motivating them to make changes and achieve successes they didn’t always think were possible.
• And while I could go on and on about why I do what I do, I will end this conversation by saying that being funny and inspiring change only goes so far without a great message. I promise that your group will laugh and they will interact… but after 25 years I also know that my approach makes it easier for a person to reflect and reconsider long-held beliefs, listen and absorb new information and skills, and most importantly lead that person to want to take some action and change something in their life for the better. And I’ve seen that only when the individual begins to change, that the organization truly changes.

So now you know a little more about why I love doing what I do. I invite you to keep digging around my site to learn more. As you do you’ll find customer feedback that proves a long track record of doing what I say I’ll do. You’ll discover articles and resources that demonstrate the insight and skill set I will bring to your organization. And you’ll find that I go the extra mile for meeting planners ensuring you have everything you need to make the presentation a resounding success.

If you hear nothing else from this brief message, I want you to hear the passion I have for what I do. I truly believe that no speaker will work harder for you or deliver a program more compelling than I will. So let’s get to work on your event! Contact me online or get me on the phone and let’s go beyond the next level together. I can’t wait to get started!
