TEDx PLACEMENT

After ten years of helping people get an invitation to the TEDx stage, I have decided to leave that aspect of my work. Though I am still a public speaking coach, I am no longer assisting in the search for a suitable TEDx event.

 Helping people fulfill their dream of standing on the TEDx stage has been a pleasure. I’ve met people around the country who elevated me by knowing them. The best part of the job was helping people discover their idea worth spreading.

I spent many hours with my clients on a journey to that place where we both screamed, BINGO! Then being a part of crafting their Talk and coaching their presentation added to the honor. I will miss the process, but after a decade, it is time to move on to new business endeavors.

Below, please meet the people who stood on the TEDx stage under my guidance and listen to their ideas worth spreading.
