TEDx is known for the vast array of topics and ideas they share with the world. Due to the impact that they make in small communities and globally, people have high expectations for TEDx speakers. If you want to make a difference by sharing your excellent ideas as a TEDx speaker, then you’ll want to know how to increase your chances of being selected to speak and how to proceed once you’ve been given the opportunity.

In this episode, I go over the steps to take when applying to be a TEDx speaker. I explain how you can land a TEDx talk and how you can rock it with your content and other factors, such as nonverbal language, delivery and stage presence, to make your presentation impactful.

Any signature talk is about you knowing your talk. - Sigrun
