FROM: Steve Harrison
Would you like to do a TEDx® talk? If not, you should really consider it.
Why? Because when you give a really good TEDx® talk, it’s not uncommon for the video of your talk to be seen on YouTube by hundreds of thousands of people all around the world.
Imagine someone Googling your name and the first thing they see is a TEDx® talk with more than 300,000 views. That’s credibility!
In late December, I did a TEDx® talk myself (which you may view here) and as of today, it already has 94,000 views on YouTube!
But of course, there’s a lot you need to know to make this 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 19 of our clients land TEDx® talks in the last few years and have learned an enormous amount in the process.
I’ll be joined on the webcast by our Quantum Leap speaking and presentations coach Geoffrey Berwind, and here’s some of what you’ll discover:

PS #1 – I’m not planning on making any recordings or replays of this webcast available anytime soon, so be sure to make one of the presentations. Even if you can’t make the whole thing, tune in for at least part of it.
PS #2 - We're unabashed fans of the TED® organization, but just for the record, our training is not endorsed, sponsored or authorized by TED Conferences, LLC or its affiliates.
