Don La Foucade speaks at Fatima College.

Don La Foucade, Inspirational Speaker and author of 'In Full Flight!', definitely has a way with words. La Foucade, a columnist with gieMAGAZINE, has been making waves throughout Trinidad and Tobago with something he claims is a God given gift, his words. The inspirational speaker is booked months in advance to speak to students, employees and managers, providing them with vital information on why they are meant to succeed. Most recently, La Foucade presented his words of wisdom to students at Fatima College and the response he got was tremendous. One student told gieMAGAZINE that "Mr. La Foucade gave a clear and informative presentation which opened my eyes to the endless possibilities in the world.

 

I enjoyed listening to him and he has inspired me to work harder." Another Fatima boy added: "He was very informative and he made a great impression on everyone. He has helped me more to understand how to look at my career path." A parent at the event, Heathcliff West, Events and Entertainment Manager of Movie Towne (Fiesta Plaza) told La Foucade: "I must say how impressed I was with the way that you interacted with those kids and how you were able to get your points across. I have read your articles in the gieMAGAZINE but it was the first time that I was actually hearing you delivering your motivational speeches. I couldn't help thinking that you have an incredible God given gift and the kids were hanging on to your every word. The kids really enjoyed it and I too felt blessed that I was able to enjoy the moment. Keep on doing what you are doing and as you said in your speech 'everyone one has a purpose'."

 

La Foucade then visited St. Augustine Girls' High School (SAGHS), where as usual he was warmly welcomed. Students there were thrilled to hear him speak. They were at times laughing from ear to ear and at other times listening with serious looks on their faces to La Foucade's every word. The comments received regarding his presentation there were incredible. One student stated: "It was the best lecture that was ever given in SAGHS. It was inspirational and moving and Mr. La Foucade spoke in such a way that students could easily relate to what he was saying." Another student insisted "We were able to take life lessons from all that he said.
 
 
He was inspiring, funny and motivated us to achieve our goals. I felt good about myself when he was finished." Other comments were: "It was intriguing and enticing. Indeed, it was a phenomenal demonstration of appreciating the small and simple things of life which are often the most meaningful.". "I think his speech was highly motivational and truly inspirational, quite exceptional. Also the manner in which it was delivered coupled with his very presence captivated and held the attention of us all, thereby promoting and encouraging valuable life lessons!". "His speech was truly one of the best I have ever heard in my life and it was really engaging; it made me want to listen more. Ever since, I am more confident in myself and I am indeed striving for success all thanks to his words of inspiration."  All students wished they could hear more from La Foucade. However, he left these words of advice: "No one can go back and change a bad beginning, but anyone can start now and create a successful ending. Why creep when you feel the urge to soar?"
