FROM: Steve Harrison
Have you always wanted to give a TEDx® talk but don't know where to start?
Or maybe you’ve applied and been rejected and thought you killed your one shot at fame.
Every author and speaker wants to give a TEDx® Talk. Using the TED platform leads to instant recognition that can make you famous or build your business.
To date, TEDx® talks have been viewed over 3.5 million times on YouTube and the TED Talks website.
In December 2017, I did a TEDx® talk myself. As of today, it has more than 429,000 views!
Because of the pandemic, many TEDx® organizers are booking speakers for virtual events.
That means the TEDx® stage is now your own home or office! You simply record your presentation and send it over.
In many ways, then, now is the perfect time to plan and deliver your own TEDx® talk.
But...
Even though TEDx® events, which are locally organized, concentrates on local voices like yours… you still need to know how to navigate their cumbersome application process.
TED® has rejected many GREAT speakers, authors and interesting businesspeople and philanthropists.
Not because they didn’t have amazing presentations, but simply because they didn’t know how to properly fill out the application.
There's an awful lot you need to know to make your TEDx® talk happen.
First, most TEDx® organizers are flooded with applications from far more would-be speakers than they can accept. Plus, many only accept those based on very narrow criteria, such as being associated with a given university.
Second, the quality of the video you’ll get from your TEDx® talk varies dramatically depending on the organizer – which is a huge problem, since coming away with a really compelling, well-edited video on YouTube is the biggest payoff of your talk. A not-so great video might be worse than none at all.
We’ve helped more than 74 of our clients land and do TEDx® talks in the last few years, and we've learned an enormous amount in the process.
I’ll be joined on the webcast by my team's head speaking and presentations coach Geoffrey Berwind, and here’s some of what you’ll discover:
- 3 BIGGEST secrets to landing your first virtual TEDx® Talk (don’t even think of applying for a TED Talk until you know these).
- Why the next 6 months are your best chance to get accepted for a TEDx® virtual talk.

- How to “TED-ify” your current presentation (if you’re a veteran speaker you’ll discover how to quickly convert your current talk into a tight, 10-minute TED Style talk that TED looks for).
- How to use a TEDx® Talk as a stepping stone to writing and publishing your first book and establishing relationships with top influencers within the TED world.
- How to get accepted as a speaker to TED Talks… even if you were previously rejected (how to “spy” on a local TEDx® organization so you discover exactly what topics they’re greenlighting and what they’re looking for in a speaker right now).

- How to create an AUTHENTIC TEDx® presentation that will help you connect with people with maximum impact and influence.
