A little bit about Tess Rawson:
After nearly 10 years of producing TEDx events in Europe and the US, Tessa founded Resonance because she genuinely believes everyone can be a powerful public speaker. Working with speakers has shown here over and over again that by gaining confidence in your voice, you can change not just your world but someone else’s, too. You already have all the tools you need, sometimes you need a little help figuring out what you want to say and how best to articulate it.
She has been sharing stories around the dinner table and on the stage in the US, Turkey, and Switzerland. Tessa now lives with her family on a sailboat in the Caribbean. She has coached leaders from across industries and geographies- everyone from non-profit founders and corporate executives to educators and artists.
Videos of their talks have been viewed over 2 million times on YouTube & TED.com, but more importantly, finding what they really want to say and the words to say it has allowed them to grow their brand and increase their impact.
