Event Details
Bob will offer an insiders' perspective on becoming a TED-level speaker, delivering knockout content to grow your business and your network and become a more visible leader in your area of expertise.
Topics to be covered include:
What does the TED universe look like?
Who goes to TED Talks and why? What are the logistics, venues, opportunities and segments? What types of speakers are sought after? We will review the various TED opportunities and how to determine what makes the most sense and is the most realistic for you and your company.
What does a TED-worthy presentation look like?
You have a great idea. You've done something amazing that you are passionate about. You're a top expert in your industry. Whatever it is, you think others would benefit from your "know how". We'll discuss ideas and methods on how to elevate your public speaking skills; how to develop content that is clear and compelling plus create a presentation that dazzles.
How does speaking fit in with your marketing strategy?
While prestigious, TED Talks are not about the fame and glory. We'll explore how presentations and ideas shared can work to fit into your personal and business brand strategy.
