Your Big Idea Intensive was created specifically for you. With a 1:1 VIP day, you'll gain the clarity, confidence, and tools to accelerate your path to the TEDx stage – plus, you'll walk away with exclusive bonuses designed to elevate your presence and polish your pitch.
Like you, I once dreamed of speaking on the TEDx stage. But my first applications were rejected – I made every mistake imaginable. Through persistence and learning the exact strategies that work, I didn't just overcome those early setbacks; I thrived.
I became a two-time TEDx speaker, served on a TEDx selection committee, and was invited to be the speaker coach for multiple TEDx events. I've seen firsthand what it takes to succeed, and I've helped others achieve their own TEDx dreams.
Now, my mission is to help 1,000 more people like you bring their powerful messages to the world. I know you have a story worth sharing, and I'm here to tell you that it's entirely possible – even if you're not famous or don't have "the right" connections.
