Have you had a goal to deliver a TED or TEDx talk, and it just hasn't happened yet? It's more work than I ever realized, but was also far more rewarding.
My goal today is to get YOU in action to deliver yours. It's easy to get the journey started, and my hope is you also get prepped on what to prepare for when the process gets tough.
Since delivering my first talk, "What if change was FUN?", my approach to coaching— and my business— is different. The whole process just took a massive amount of commitment, surrender, and receiving more support than I knew how to receive.
The organizers, the coaches, the TED organization, and the audience were all part of it. But the biggest miracle was how everyone who ever had a hand in mentoring, hiring, or working for me showed up like an army.
Nothing deserves more presence, and preparation than stepping into the fabled "Red Circle" and delivering a TED-quality presentation.
My personal experience was a pressure cooker. We had a tight
production timeline, and I ended up in a battle between my brain
(which wanted the perfect script) and my heart (which knew the
truth of what I needed to say).
I even scrapped designing slides to back me up, and let the talk be
the content— something I've coached countless executives on, but
finally had to put my money where my mouth is.
This episode breaks down everything I've been asked about in designing and delivering a TED-level talk.
