Connie Podesta- Life Would Be Easy If It Weren’t For Other People

Imagine what you could accomplish if you could decode the mystery of human behavior and truly understand what makes people do what they do and say what they say (including yourself!). Research shows that the #1 key to SUCCESS in any industry or organization is the ability to get along with other people, personally and professionally. Now that’s something to really think about, right? That means with a deeper understanding of human behavior, you should lead better. Communicate better. Sell better. Parent better. Live better. Negotiate better. The list goes on and on.

With laugh-out-loud humor, killer take-away strategies, powerful pops of psychology and her amazing insights into others (including a few who “drive you crazy”), Connie Podesta, an expert in the psychology of human behavior, will take you right inside the minds and personalities of the people you connect with every day both at work and home — bosses, colleagues, partners, customers, significant others, friends, and family — so YOU can ACT, rather than REACT to whatever situations or people throw your way. In other words, you’ll be able to read between the lines - making navigating conversations and negotiating your needs a thousand times easier. Want the secret communication insights and rare psychological know-how to build, maintain, and grow your relationships and business to a whole new level? Then this is totally the session for you!

Aron Ralston

Aron Ralston's extraordinary story of survival after an 800-pound boulder trapped him in a remote Utah canyon captured global headlines in 2003. In his New York Times best seller, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, the Oscar-nominated film, 127 Hours, and on stage, Ralston takes audiences vicariously through those six days without water, means of communication, or hope of escape, to the ecstatic moments when he freed himself by severing his own arm.
