Answers for all your TEDx questions

So many business owners (like you, maybe?) keep TEDx on their “someday” list because their questions feel overwhelming, the goal seems out of reach, and information is hard to find:

  • Do I have to be invited?

  • What are the biggest mistakes speakers make, and how can I avoid them?

  • How do I even prepare for something like this?

But in a today’s economy and your competitive market, you can’t afford to wait anymore. Credibility markers like TEDx have become an essential element of small business marketing strategy.

And besides — finding answers about TEDx shouldn’t be the digital equivalent of an archaeological dig. ​

During this live info session, I answer the big questions about the TEDx process — from application to writing and editing your talk to delivery to promotion.

I’ll break down the TEDx process and show you what matters most, with specific, practical insight into how to land a talk that drives new opportunities for you and your business.

Join me LIVE Tuesday, September 16th at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm UK.
