Rewind to 2001
There were 25,000 people in the hall from 14 countries, a man stalked to the podium. Everyone waited with baited breath for him to start speaking. He began to talk..the start of his 8 minute speech that would secure the title of that year’s Championship of Public Speaking. He was a master. He could deliver the most interesting and entertaining presentation. And he intuitively seemed to know how to make people laugh and gain trust.
It was like magic…
His name was Darren La Croix. He wasn’t born an accomplished public speaker. As a boy, he dreamed of being a comic. But, as he says himself, he “didn’t have a funny bone in his body”. And his peers and parents were unanimous that he was about as funny as getting the measles. Despite the criticism, he ventured onto the stage as a comic. early in 1992, he had his comedy debut which turned out to be…
A nightmare introduction to the wrath of the crowd…
He was heckled off the stage. He was as funny as a dose of hives. And he had no clues about how to write a delivery for an audience. How then, did Darren, against all odds, achieve the title of world public speaking champion, a full-time speaker and stand up comic? What did he learn that allowed him, 9 years after he was booed off the stage, to deliver a speech that won him the world championship? There was one thing that he used to engage with his audience so that they were almost like in a trance…
A secret he used
to bring excitement and mirth to all that were gathered… A hidden talent he used to become confident, eliminate anxiety, nerves and to get over his public speaking fear. A way to get through to his audience like no one before… A power that changed the way that people experienced their life when they listened to him… In summary, a secret that allowed him to be crowned the 2001 World Champion of Public Speaking.
How did he do it?
Darren LaCroix once said: “The shortest distance between two people is laughter”. Once you get people laughing, you engage them in your story. They will trust you and like you . And you create a presentation that is enjoyable and interesting. Darren LaCroix is the evidence that anyone can learn anything, even giving an inspiring presentation. He had no natural inborn talent to captivate an audience just by talking. But he followed the guidelines of his mentors…
you don’t have to be born a brilliant presenter either….
You can learn the same way that Darren did
And in the same way that Darren did, you then need to practice what you’ve learned at every available moment. If it is possible for Darren it’s possible for you too. Just imagine… how confident you are going to be when you do your presentation because
You will have learned from THE professional !
Imagine your audience held in rapture by your words… You know how to include the listeners and inspire them… You are confident and happy, you have fun while you end your presentation with a bang (and your audience gives you thunderous applause at your finish) Discover what Darren learned so that you, can also, get applause every time you finish a presentation. This public speaking courses will show you how. And who better to learn from than a world champion of public speaking?
