An Insider's Guide on How to Get Selected for a TEDx Talk

Do you have giving a TEDx talk on your list of goals?

Many speakers do - and for good reason!

Those 10-minute talks are a powerful way to share a message and give the audience a way to think about a topic differently.

Being a TEDx speaker is also a credibility marker and an opportunity to get seen by more people.

How do you land a TEDx talk? What should you include in your application? What are event organizers looking for? How do you shape your idea?

That’s what we’re going to get into in this episode.

I’ve worked with TEDx events to select speakers and I’ve coached TEDx speakers, so I’m giving you an inside look on how you can increase your chances of getting selected and delivering an outstanding talk.

Become Bookable Live Online Workshop - April 15, 2026
If you want to speak more but you’re not sure where to start or your efforts haven’t produced the results you want, I’m hosting a live online workshop called “Become Bookable: How to Get Speaking Invitations” on Wednesday, April 15th.


A lot of brilliant women assume they just need to pitch themselves more. But the real reason speakers get invited isn’t because they pitch harder — it’s because they’re positioned as bookable.

In this 3-hour interactive workshop live on Zoom, I’ll show you how speakers actually get invited — and help you clarify the positioning that makes event organizers say yes.
