Aspiring TEDx speakers, podcasters, digital course creators, and coaches,
Creativity isn't something only a few people can access.
Creativity is your birthright.
I made a vid on how to rediscover it.

When was the last time you let your creativity shine through without the need to filter yourself? When was the last time you used your creativity as a playfu...

Rejection sucks. Especially when you are desperate to change the world. A TEDx talk is one of those opportunities to ignite a movement.

After receiving double-digit rejections, it hit me that I should understand what the TEDx event is looking for.

The result? Being invited to four out of five TEDx events.

This Tuesday, a TEDx event organizer will talk about what they actually look for.

Meet Aimee Bucher. The former organizer of TEDxFarotPark. She pulls no punches and is excited to share what she and her staff looked for on TEDx application.

This session is going to fly by. Bring any and all questions like these:

* What are the core criteria TEDx organizers use to select speakers?

* How does the theme of a specific TEDx event influence the selection process?

* What are the common mistakes applicants make that lead to rejection?

* Can you share examples of past successful applications and what made them stand out?

* What is the role of originality and authenticity in the selection process?

* Can you describe the review process for submitted applications?

* What types of ideas or topics are currently trending or in high demand at TEDx events?

* How do TEDx organizers handle controversial or sensitive topics in talks?

* How do TEDx organizers ensure diversity and inclusion among their speakers?

* What is the most memorable or impactful TEDx talk you've seen, and why?

So RSVP now and meet me there!

I've had the privilege of coaching aspiring TEDx speakers. As of late, my clients have asked me about using AI to generate their TEDx talks.

My answer. AI can help you organize your thoughts or build a simple outline. But an over-reliance on AI makes a TEDx application...

Sterile.
Predictable.
Drab.
Formulaic.

What about training your AI to write in your voice? Simple, if you train ChatGPT to write in your voice, you'll get a TEDx talk application that's sterile and predictable and drab and formulaic...in your voice.

TEDx event staff can spot this a mile away.

TEDx organizers want the equivalent of singer-songwriters with originality, not karaoke singers who lack a voice of their own.

There's no spice, no flavor, no creativity, and no real strategy that you have to add to grab the attention of a TEDx talk selection committee that has gone through hundreds of applications and come across your application late into the night.

With that said, meet Dr. Manal Fakhoury, organizer and curator for TEDxOcala, which just opened its virtual doors for you to submit your application. To call TEDxOcala an EVENT doesn't do it justice. It's an incredible experience for the audience, her staff, and the speakers.

I've invited Manal to meet with aspiring TEDx speakers to give insider tips on putting together an incredible TEDx application - one that's NOT sterile, predictable, drab, and formulaic. She's been doing this for 10 years. So this ain't her first rodeo.

Manal is going to talk about creating TEDx applications that leap off the page and into the hearts of the selection committee and your audience.

Bring any questions about the TEDx speaker journey.

Ever wondered if your kindness could actually make you cooler? Well, strap in, because my latest YouTube dive with Alan Questel is like finding the cheat code for self-love through generosity. This isn't your average "be nice, feel good" bullcrap. We're talking deep, soul-stirring stuff that'll have you feeling freaky-deeky.

Alan and I explore the trenches of intentional kindness and come out the other side with some serious wisdom bombs. This session had me rethinking my life choices and contemplating calling my dad more often (who knew?).

Check it out, share the love, and remember: being kind is cool, but tuning into this podcast is even cooler.

Just dropped a 🔥 episode of the Golden Mic Podcast with the incredible Alan Questel, and trust me, you'll want to give this one a listen. We're slicing through the everyday and getting real about kindness—not your garden-variety niceness, but the deep, soul-stirring kind that makes you wake up and feel all freaky-deeky inside and out. Alan's sharing his journey and dropping gems on how intentional kindness can be your ticket to self-love. Plus, you know I'm bringing my trademark snark and spark to keep things lively.

If you've ever wondered how throwing a little kindness around can change your life (and your self-view), this is the episode for you. From personal revelations to the power of daily acts of kindness, we're diving in deep. And yeah, we'll even tackle why calling your dad might just be the best part of your day.

Tune in, get inspired, and maybe, just maybe, find a new path to liking yourself more. Because who couldn't use a bit more of that? 🎧💖
