150 | How To Get On The TED Stage
Manage episode 347399052 series 2903666
Ever wondered how to land a TED talk and make your message matter?
Today, I am flying solo to walk you through the process of how I hosted a TEDx event back in 2012. With a theme of The Pursuit of Passion, the one-day event focused on the fire that drives people to pursue their passions. It was about how one finds the strength to follow their heart and intuition despite rejection, lack of support, challenges, or even outright failure.
In this episode, I will talk about the process of applying to get a TED Talk, the challenges I had to deal with as a head curator of a TEDx event, and the story behind how I got Scott Dinsmore as one of the speakers for my event.
Resources mentioned:
- TED website: https://www.ted.com/
- Scott Dinsmore TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpe-LKn-4gM
Topics include:
- Two different ways to get on the main TED stage
- What is TED and what they do
- What is a TEDx event and what is the application process for a license
- How to become a TEDx speaker
- How I handled and prepared for no-shows during a TEDx event
- How Scott Dinsmore’s TEDx talk went viral on YouTube
- And other topics…
