How will you close out your year? Here at NSA Las Vegas, we ended our final chapter meeting of 2024 with a bang! First, our President-Elect, Rhonda Lea, CSSBB got us excited about the upcoming Last Story Standing 2025 Competition—a fantastic opportunity that had many of us perking up. Next, we had the privilege of welcoming special guest Mark LeBlanc, CSP, CPAE who shared his incredible insights with us. Here are some key takeaways from his session: ? You captivate an audience with your story and humor. ? No Change = No Change. ? Master speakers do four things: 1. Engage your mind 2. Touch your heart 3. Stir your soul 4. Make you laugh Mark left us with a powerful reminder: “The more focused you are, the easier things become for you.” If you joined us, share your biggest takeaway in the comments below! If you missed it, don’t worry—catch the replay in the Vault. This session is the perfect way to wrap up the year and kickstart 2025. A huge thank you to Mark for sharing your wisdom and inspiring us!

Member Spotlight ?? Let’s take a moment to get to know Jimmy Lea Jimmy is a dynamic speaker on marketing and leadership for the automotive industry. His favorite part of speaking? The adrenaline rush and the thrill of seeing that light bulb moment ?? when something really clicks with the audience. But here’s a fun fact you might not know: Jimmy is a ballroom dancer, a state-level swimmer, and moved to Las Vegas when he was just five months old. He also hosts our Implementation Huddles—a virtual meetup where we come together to debrief, share insights, and learn from each other after every meeting. What do you have in common with Jimmy?

??When YOU Are the Business ?? Join us on November 16th to hear the incredible Mark LeBlanc, CSP, CPAE Mark LeBlanc is known for his approach to business development, based on his first book, Growing Your Business. He is a CSP and was inducted into the Minnesota Hall of Fame in 2006. In fact, he is a newly minted 2023 Hall of Fame CPAE speaker, having been inducted this past July. Little does anyone know that Mark was ready to throw in the towel on the elusive keynote-speaking side of his career until a turning point in the summer of 2014. That defining moment led to a banquet speech in Nashville six months later that he will say, “…was the best speech of my career even to this day.” Find out what he did and how it could help you increase the volume in your keynote speaking career. He will also shine a light on what you need to know and what you want to do in elevating your speaking career and grow your little empire. As a result of listening to Mark, you will: ?Have a deeper understanding of how your speech or presentation can impact an audience for a lifetime. ?Hear three, strategic decisions you can make to fill your calendar with more follow-on opportunities in consulting, training, coaching and authorship. ?Discover the one tool you can create and the one strategy you can implement without spending a dime. ?Explore the opportunities in leveraged and scalable income. Mark runs a speaking business and has excelled at staging his own events. As a speaker, he conducts presentations and creates experiences for professionals who want to create an extreme sliver of focus. Mark has clocked over twenty thousand coaching hours helping people start or grow their business. He is the author or co-author of seven books. His latest book, Bringing In The Business Without Sounding Like a Salesperson was released in 2024. As a result of his work, people often share they are more focused, generate immediate traction, gain new momentum and create a path for more business. On a personal note, next summer, he will go on a short, five hundred mile walk across Spain – for the fourth time!
