Has anyone ever given a #TED talk that could mentor me? I'd like to know how to submit a presentation that actually interests them, how to do the presentation, and what comes after.

@ozoned I know a few people who have done TEDx talks… and one who did a TEDTalk… but we lost contact. From discussions we had, if I remember correctly, once a speaker gets the green light, the TED organization trains them (for months even!) about how to do a presentation.
In terms of topics that interest them, the people I knew who got selected had of course merit but also somewhat knew organizers or had someone in their network helping them - it may be about who you know
@elena@aseachange.com I have no merit and IDK anyone. lol but I'm going to try at least. 😁
@ozoned
The only TED talk person I know (virtually) is @shanselman. I heard he's a great mentor. 😄
@badnetmask @ozoned when you're invited to do a TEDx talk or TED talk they assign you a professional speaker coach. That's what they did for me. She wrote the book on TED talks https://catheyarmillas.com/ and my talk is at https://www.hanselman.com/
@shanselman@hachyderm.io @badnetmask@hachyderm.io how do you get invited? I've put in a form indicating I'm interested. But I'm guessing it's kind of a lottery or something that just grabs them from your proposal.
@elettrona@poliversity.it I am so sorry for your loss. THat sounds like an amazing person.
@elettrona@poliversity.it How did you get your foot in the door to do a talk? Did you just sign up and fill out a form and they picked you?
@elettrona @ozoned it's an incredible talk, bravissima Elena!
