About this Event
EVERYONE is welcome! You don't have to be a Toastmaster to attend!
Please join us for an engaging and powerful presentation from Darren LaCroix, past World Champion of Public Speaking.
Kid’s dream-like rivers flow. Why did we lose that? Because well-meaning people trained the dream out of us. Direct Sellers, Entrepreneurs, or anyone with a big dream, listen up! Whether you want to scale your business, inspire your team or quit your day job, this presentation is for you! What would you say to a young kid who dreamed of making people laugh for a living but wasn’t funny.
- In 1992 Darren LaCroix, bombed miserably in a comedy club in Boston, MA. As he walked off stage, the headliner that night said, “Don’t quit your day job.”
- Without a funny bone in his body and a willingness to fail, Darren pursued his childhood dream of making people laugh.
- Nine years later, he out-spoke 25,000 contestants from 14 countries and was crowned the 2001 World Champion of Public Speaking with a very funny speech. Not only that, but people are talking about his “unforgettable” speech two decades later!
How did he do it? What was his strategy?
