Be a Sponge: “I Wanna Win the Speech Contest!”

Darren LaCroix's Blog, Sponge ArticlesBy Darren LaCroixJanuary 19, 20211 Comment

Question: If you met someone over coffee, and with sincerity and conviction, they say to you, “I wanna win the World Championship of Public Speaking.” What would you say to them? How do you think you could best help them with their goal? If it was me, and I really wanted to help them, I’d…

Be a Sponge: Do You REALLY Give Your Audience What THEY Need? PART 2

Darren LaCroix's Blog, Sponge ArticlesBy Darren LaCroixJanuary 11, 2021Leave a comment

We often work really hard on creating powerful presentations. That is good! Hard work usually pays off. When the hard work is for a presentation, our work multiplies every time we deliver it, and again for every audience member who listens. People in your audience, however, are not all the same. They come to you…

Be a Sponge: 77-Day Challenge–Lessons from Your Journey

Darren LaCroix's Blog, Sponge ArticlesBy Darren LaCroixJanuary 4, 20213 Comments

My mentor, Patricia Fripp, CSP, CPAE said,  “Tell me what you say you want, show me one week of your life, and you and I will both know if you’ll ever achieve it.” Wow! Truth bomb! She says that it is easy to say you want anything, but it will never happen unless you are…

Be a Sponge: Do You REALLY Give Your Audience What THEY Need?

Darren LaCroix's Blog, Sponge ArticlesBy Darren LaCroixDecember 29, 20201 Comment

OK, how serious are you about truly impacting your audience? We’ve heard about learning styles and the Myers Briggs tests. Still, have you considered who the people really are in your audience and, more importantly, what they really need from you? Let’s sit down with three of them and hear their actual truth. We are…

Be a Sponge: Who Are You Really?

Darren LaCroix's Blog, Sponge ArticlesBy Darren LaCroixDecember 22, 2020Leave a comment

What did Simba’s dad say to him in Disney’s Lion King after Simba grew up? Remember? Hold that thought. It’s been said too many times that 2020 is unbelievably challenging. Too often, we let outside factors cause doubt in ourselves. We focus on those negative thoughts and ideas, and we start to see more of…

Be a Sponge: Are You Comparing Your Journey? Do & Don’t!

Darren LaCroix's BlogBy Darren LaCroixDecember 14, 20204 Comments

Do and don’t! What? I’ll explain it! You may have heard this story before, but there are different points and something I’ve not revealed. Please get this because it is about your life, goals, and journey! It was 1993, and it was a year and a half into my career. I was on a mission…

Be a Sponge: Convert ‘Em

Darren LaCroix's Blog, Sponge ArticlesBy Darren LaCroixDecember 8, 2020Leave a comment

Are you a converter? Do you convert people? Do you ever look at the strategy of how you will convert them? For speakers building their business, this is more relevant now than ever before.  If you are a presenter, not building your business, consider how this applies to your articles, Facebook lives and presentations online.…

Be a Sponge: When was the last time you thought, “Why Me?”

Darren LaCroix's Blog, Sponge ArticlesBy Darren LaCroixDecember 1, 2020Leave a comment

When was the last time you thought, “Why me?” Maybe it was, “Why us?” Or “Why now?” You are not alone. Often, we are correct. It’s not fair, especially with all of this craziness going on. Even the Bible tells believers that we will have troubles. It was 1998, and it was one of the…

Be a Sponge: Cherish Your Yoda Moments

Darren LaCroix's Blog, Sponge ArticlesBy Darren LaCroixNovember 23, 2020Leave a comment

Whenever you and I present live or online, we never really know if we planted seeds in our audience’s mind. Do you ever wonder if you actually made a difference? Yes, they loved your presentation, but did anything change because of what you said and how you said it?  We get the feedback sheets, and…

Be a Sponge: But, Did You Do This First…?

Darren LaCroix's Blog, Sponge ArticlesBy Darren LaCroixNovember 18, 20201 Comment

What is it you really want? How about in your career? What do you want more of? What do you want less of? Well, do you feel like you are on the path to getting it? Sometimes we forget that essential first step. Miss that one step, and you may never see those things in…
