Landing a TEDx talk starts long before the stage — it begins with uncovering the idea that only you can deliver.

In this session, we’ll work together to identify the personal story, insight, or lived experience that forms the heart of your TEDx message — and then shape it into a clear, compelling, stage-ready concept.

We’ll refine your idea through the lens TEDx curators look for: originality, emotional resonance, clarity of message, and cultural or human relevance. From there, we’ll outline the talk structure, narrative arc, and key moments of connection — ensuring your message lands.

This session is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in 20+ years paid speaking across 4 continents, with real TEDx coaching experience, having landed 5 TEDx talks, and turned down 4 other TEDx invites.
