Transform Your Idea Into a TEDx-Ready Talk
What You Get
Your seat in the January Speaker Accelerator Mastermind, a focused 2-day live experience where you'll shape a clear, powerful TEDx-aligned idea, refine your pitch and bio, and walk away knowing exactly how to apply to 2026–2027 events with confidence.
This isn't just another workshop. It's a transformational experience designed specifically for ambitious speakers ready to claim their voice on the world's most prestigious speaking platform.
Why Most TEDx Applications Fail (And How to Succeed)
Most people fail TEDx not because their idea isn't good enough or their story isn't compelling. They fail because they don't know how to apply properly - which events to target, when to apply, and what curators actually want to see.
This mastermind gets you clear on the application process first and foremost, then helps you craft your message with confidence. You'll learn exactly which TEDx events to target, the optimal timing for applications, and how to position yourself as the obvious choice.
The truth: Clarity beats credentials. A well-articulated idea from an unknown speaker will always win over a vague pitch from someone famous.
