This month we are learning how Darren LaCroix is upgrading his home office (studio). Darren was a real-life underdog who proved that with persistence and resilience you can become a successful speaker, coach, and expert. Darren had a slight head start in the new online-only environment we have found ourselves in. He offers his programs to both live and virtual …
It’s March of 2020 and many of us have chosen to self-quarantine to stop the spread of the Coronavirus. It’s a scary time for us as individuals, speakers, and as a part of humanity. Don’t worry, if you’re expecting me to get super serious here, you certainly haven’t been reading these recaps. Let’s be honest. You’re probably in your pajamas …
The February meeting of the National Speakers Association’s Las Vegas Chapter is now in the history books. Our new location at The Wildhorse Golf Club was perfect… though I saw no horses… certainly none playing golf. We began the morning with a charades-esque exercise led by our president, John Polish. Directions weren’t followed exactly and it didn’t go so well. …
We had a lean but mighty January meeting of the NSA Las Vegas. Thankfully, when our members don’t make it, it’s usually because they’re jetting around the globe inspiring audiences. Those of us that attended were treated to an amazing, ah-ha filled event. It takes a strong person to fill Marvelless Mark’s shoes (are those alligator!?!), and we had just …

If you didn’t have the pleasure of our company this past weekend, here’s …
We get it, Fall is a busy time. But that’s no excuse for missing an NSA Las Vegas meeting!In case you couldn’t make the September meeting, here’s a quick recap of the goings-on to keep you in the loop.

Did you miss the August meeting of the NSA Las Vegas chapter? Boy, are you going to being disappointed. This month’s event started with a juggling act. Jim Root opened the day with a tap-dancing routine, then our past and future presidents (Magee and Polish) brandished medieval swords and battled each other for the title of Supreme Leader. Alright, moment …
Did you miss the May meeting of the NSA Las Vegas chapter? OMG, that’s so sad for you. It was kind of amazing. Grab a cup of coffee and settle in. It’s recap time.It turns out that what happens in Vegas… stays in our slogan — no matter how badly we want it to go away. Marla Laughlin with the …
What’s your backup? No, Marvelless Mark Kamp wasn’t asking about singers echoing your melody. He wanted to know if you have a plan when the (inevitable) tech disasters happen. No mic? No problem. Former president, John Getter carries a Bluetooth speaker. The Marks (that’s both Marvelless and A. Smith) use their headphones as speakers in an emergency. (Does anyone else think they …
Did you schedule your tongue implant yet? At the NSA Las Vegas February meeting, Marvelless Mark encouraged us to follow the sage wisdom of the rock band Kiss: “What are you willing to do that no one else will do?” Next up, Ed Tate showed us how to create a proposal that will have meeting planners ask, “Where do I …
