Ep. 202 How Do You Know If You Are Unforgettable?
You want to believe that your audience remembers you and your message, but how can you KNOW? Today Mark and Darren explain the value of KEEPERS and ACTION ITEMS, tools that will help you know that you are UNFORGETTABLE.
? Set up the value of keepers and action items very early
? Use cardstock sheets that are separate from a workbook
? Use separate bright colors for each
? Use editable pdfs for virtual attendees
? Keepers are written confirmation of the transfer of value
? Keepers reinforce value to employers, managers and supervisors
? Keepers are consistent reminders of ideas, tools and techniques
? Action Items are immediately actionable next steps after a presentation
? File keepers and action items in their own separate folder and review often
? Refer back to accomplished action items to reinforce belief

A Real-Life Underdog Story Filled with Humor and Hope
After a failed business in 1992, Darren LaCroix took a dare and took the stage at an open mic night at a Boston comedy club. He bombed miserably.?It was horrible. The headliner that night told him,?"Keep your day job kid."?Friends told him that his dream of making people laugh for a living was crazy and stupid. He didn't listen.?
He may have been born without a funny bone in his body, but Darren possessed the desire to learn and the willingness to fail. These were the essentials for achieving his dream. This self-proclaimed?student of comedy?is living proof that?anything?can be learned.?
Less than nine years later, in 2001, Darren LaCroix outspoke 25,000 contestants from 14 countries to become?the World Champion of Public Speaking…ironically with a very funny speech. Some said it was one of the best speeches in the history of the contest.
Since that victory, Darren has delivered keynotes in every state in the U.S. and 44 international cities. He is passionate about showing people that if you pray, find the right mentors, and become a sponge, anything is possible.
Darren is currently?the only speaker in the world?who is a CSP (Certified Speaking Professional), an AS (Accredited Speaker), and a World Champion of Public Speaking. In spite of this, Darren always reminds people,?“The letters after your name are not as important as the professional you become in the process.”
He is the author of the book?17 Minutes To Your Dream, the co-author of?Deliver Unforgettable Presentations?and the co-host of?Unforgettable Presentations?podcast. Through his live workshops and Stage Time University, he helps good presenters become UNFORGETTABLE.
Through his live master workshops and online programs, Darren works with presenters eager to learn what it takes to connect deeply with their audiences. He is the founder of?StageTimeUniversity.com ?where "we help passionate presenters stand out, deliver a memorable message, and leave their audience wanting more."
