Keynote Address by Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta

“LIFE WOULD BE EASY.” I use humor with purpose, because I know your audience will learn
more, commit to more, be open to newer ideas and be more willing to make the kind of changes
necessary for them to be successful. My experience in the psychology of human behavior, street
smarts and instincts allows me to share with audiences just exactly what it is that makes people
tick. That way, I can reach them in ways they have never known before.

The Secret of the LBM Industry: Good Service and Great Prices”
