How I Landed My First TEDx Talk
“A TEDx stage is designed for you to share an idea that’s worth sharing… it is literally a stage that’s designed for you to be a thought leader.”
- Shelagh Cummins
Having a TEDx Talk under your belt is more than just a bragging right… it’s a marketing DREAM.
Delivering a TEDx Talk is a fantastic way to build up your thought leadership, position yourself as an industry leader, and create a great deal of interest in your business. TEDx Talks are accessed by billions of viewers per year, regularly shared on social media, and highly respected.
You may have already dreamed about standing in front of a TEDx audience and sharing your knowledge and expertise. In fact, you may already have the perfect presentation sitting in a folder on your desktop!
So… how do you get the opportunity to make it onto that stage?
