You're often too close to your own expertise to see its value. In this masterclass, I'll share how speakers shape their ideas for high-visibility, idea-driven events like TEDx and how to uncover the message already embedded in your experience.
The two group coaching sessions will be every 2nd Tuesday of the month, and every 4th Thursday of the month for between 60-90 minutes per session. Be expected to spend between 1-2 hours a week to focus on your progress.
If needed it will be possible to get 1:1 add on support if you feel that you need it.
80% of my clients had never spoken publicly before working with me, and they still delivered powerful talks that positioned them as authorities.
The truth is, you don't need to be a "natural" speaker.You need the right training, feedback, and support.
I'll show you exactly how to develop stage presence using techniques from my background as a stand-up comedian, actress, and $15K+ keynote speaker, so you command the stage with authenticity and confidence, even if you've never done it before.
Many women begin attracting interest from a variety of events, including independently organized TEDx talks, once they clarify their message and understand how to articulate it clearly.
You'll learn a strategic approach to selecting the right events, crafting compelling messaging, and presenting your idea confidently.
Most speaker programs are taught by people who've never been on the other side of the process.
I've delivered my own TEDx talk, and for over a decade I've worked as a keynote speaker, delivering more than 250 talks across the globe, including opening and closing conferences for numerous Credit Unions and Associations in the U.S.
I support you in understanding how to shape a clear, compelling idea for platforms like TEDx and how to turn a single talk into ongoing visibility and professional opportunities as part of your broader speaking journey.
And unlike generic programs, you get personalized feedback on your idea, synopsis, and speaking applications from someone with real experience in this world.
If TEDx is one of the stages you’d love to speak on, this masterclass is definitely something you need to attend.
We can't wait to show you how to turn your expertise into a high-visibility talk…
and leverage to generate visibility, credibility, and income for years to come.
