How to Become A TEDx Speaker as a Creative Entrepreneur with Tamsen Webster | #34

Mar 19, 2018

Ep #34: You probably saw the inspirational videos on YouTube on how people present their ideas that become popular. Have you thought about delivering your message there? What is the one thing you are really passionate about that you want to share with others?

If you decide to become a TEDx speaker, you need to get prepared, and I invited a special guest for you today who was involved in organizing TEDx events for four years and knows this industry upside down.

In this episode, Tamsen Webster shares how to become a TEDx speaker as a creative entrepreneur.

Tamsen is an acclaimed keynote speaker, “idea whisperer,” and message strategist. 

She combined 20 years in marketing, 13 years as a Weight Watchers leader, and four years as Executive Producer of one of the oldest and one of the largest locally organized TED talk events in the world into a simple structure for understanding, talking about, and creating lasting change. 

As a result, she is an in-demand consultant on finding the ideas that move people to action.
