wd
Top organizations seek real-world answers and strategic solutions to stay compet
itive in a constantly changing market. They're finding all of that and more in C
onnie Podesta's new book, 10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd. And the folks at
Independent Publisher Book Awards agree.
Dallas, TX - May 18, 2011 -- Connie Podesta and co-author Jean Gatz proudly anno
unce the selection of their new book, 10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd as the
2011 Independent Publisher Book Awards Gold Medal Award winner in the Business
Category.
"It's a thrill to be chosen from among the more than 2000 participants for this
prestigious award," says author, keynote speaker and change expert Connie Podest
a. "We wanted to create a book that was different from any other business book w
e've seen. Something that would compel people to make positive changes in their
lives, careers and companies."
Connie Podesta (http://ConniePodesta.com/speakingtraining) has helped organizati
ons globally implement the kind of innovative and effective strategies, tools an
d mindsets that allow their companies to grow. She teaches them to do that in su
ch a way that their employees and partners become happy contributors and pro-act
ive solution-seekers.
"Connie and Jean have hit a home run with a book that lives up to its name and s
tands out from the crowd. From the very first page, I knew I was about to experi
ence a wealth of content wrapped in the kind of creativity you rarely see in a b
usiness book," says Diane Koziol Krueger, brand identity expert, CEO and Founder
of Contagious, LLC.
10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd (http://ConniePodesta.com/stand-out-from-the
-crowd) takes the most critical elements of success - change, leadership, relati
onships and attitudes. Then breaks them down into ten individual books rolled in
to one. Written in an easy-to-read, easy-to-reference style, there is no mistaki
ng why the straight-forward communication and spotlighted (not-to-mention Tweet-
ready!) "pearls" of wisdom are a success formula for leaders, executives and ent
repreneurs. They're also powerful for anyone who wishes to STAND OUT from the cr
owd. It provides people with the skills to live more fully and create more of th
at all-too-elusive balance between personal, professional and family life.
"I often say 'Business as usual is OVER', because our world is changing and evol
ving so fast that those who want to compete, perform better, produce more and su
stain far better relationships in their lives have got to start doing some thing
s differently," shares Connie. "Waiting for 'someday' or 'one of these days' is
simply not an option anymore. That's why we wrote a book that really helps peopl
e turn on those light bulbs in their minds. They begin to not just SEE that chan
ge is possible, but BELIEVE it and then ACT in the ways it takes to make those c
hanges a reality."
For anyone who's ever asked themselves...
* Do I have the skills, talent, attitude, knowledge and commitment ENOUGH to mak
e it in today's competitive world?
* Am I making the right CHOICES for myself, my career and my family?
* Am I COMMUNICATING well or just making noise?
* Am I doing what it takes to DIFFERENTIATE myself in a such a positive way that
my employers, co-workers, partners, family and friends CHOOSE to have me in the
ir lives?
* How can I handle the DIFFICULT people in my life that make work and home so ch
allenging?
* What can I do DIFFERENTLY that will help me attract the success, people and we
alth I want?
