Are you ready to turn your big idea into an impactful TEDx-style talk? This week, we’re inviting you to dive in and start crafting your own. To get the most out of this challenge, check out our two-part blog series, From Idea to Impact: My TEDx Experience, where we break down the TEDx process and structure.

Here’s how to get started:

Step 1: Read the Blogs for Essential Insights

In Part 1, we delve into what makes a TEDx talk unique, covering everything from the focus on ideas rather than personal stories to the importance of originality and credibility. Part 2 dives into the classic TEDx structure—a straightforward yet powerful framework that helps make your idea memorable and engaging. Make sure to read both parts for valuable takeaways and tips!

Step 2: Define Your Big Idea

Start by thinking about the core message you want to share. TEDx talks are all about ideas that resonate, so focus on a concept that’s meaningful, original, and connects with a wider audience.

Step 3: Outline Using the TEDx Structure

Use the classic structure outlined in Part 2 to organize your talk:

• Introduction: Grab attention with a compelling hook.
• Context: Share why the idea matters.
• Key Points: Develop your idea with examples or metaphors.
• Conclusion: Wrap up with a thought-provoking takeaway or call to action.

Step 4: Draft, Practice, and Polish

Write a first draft of your talk, aiming for a length of 5-12 minutes. Then, practice your delivery! As you work on this, remember the insights from the blog posts about letting your idea shine on its own.

Step 5: Engage and Get Feedback

Share your draft within a community, like our Skool group, and ask for feedback. Refine your talk based on the responses to make it even stronger.
