How to Land a TEDx Talk: My TEDx Journey + Insider Secrets From Organizer Tessa Rawson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A year ago today I stepped onto the red dot and delivered a TEDx talk at my alma mater, Florida State University.
It was one of the highest professional moments of my life.
And yet the talk has never been released. Let's just call it organizer "technical difficulties" of no fault of my own.
It's a heartbreak I won't pretend doesn't sting. But here's what I know: the idea inside that talk is too important to stay quiet.
That's why this episode feels so personal. On the one year anniversary of stepping on that red dot, I'm bringing you someone who has spent over a decade on the other side of it, Tessa Rawson, a TEDx organizer across Europe and the US and founder of Resonance, where she coaches speakers to land and deliver their TEDx talks and pitches.
If a TEDx talk is on your vision board, this episode is your starting point.
We discuss:
- The one question every great TEDx idea must be able to answer
- What organizers are actually looking for when they read your application
- The biggest mistake most applicants make and how to avoid it
- Why persistence and patience aren't optional and how long it really takes
And much more.
Part 2 is coming soon all about how to present once you land the spot.
