TEDx Academy

Helping inspirational people (like you!) to curate and deliver exceptional TED style talks without losing your mind or your personality in the process

Do You Look At TED Speakers

And Think If Only I Could That...?

Do you wish you had the courage to share your one big idea but are worried you haven’t suffered enough trauma to do a TED style talk?
Do you have THE solution to an issue burning inside you and know it would make a great talk, but can’t quite articulate it clearly?
Are you concerned you have too many ideas, too many stories - how are you ever going to keep to 18 minutes!?
Or have you signed up for a TEDx and are now thinking - “Oh dear god what have I done!!”
Or have you signed up to do a TED and are now chomping at the bit to smash it out of the park?

I have been working with TEDx Speakers for over five years and I have heard all these reasons and more as to why you should or shouldn’t do a TED style talk. Everytime these thoughts and fears disappear as we begin to work and tap into your area of expertise and insight to understand why your lived experience gives originality to your idea and why the world really should hear about it from you!

There is one thing I know for sure; everyone has lived an experience that can become their piece of thought leadership, their big idea that is worth sharing with others.
If, when you stand up to speak you make a difference to one listener, helping them feel seen and heard then you have done a good job and your idea was worth sharing.

And with the right coaching and support you can impact way more than one person!

This course was such a positive experience. Emma is professional, warm and supportive, which made the group feel at ease and enabled us to push ourselves beyond our normal confidence levels.

How would it feel if...

You could curate all your experiences and expertise and create a strong, clear narrative to support your big idea.
You could be confident that your structure supports your ideas.
You were filled with confidence and delivered your speech with grace and gravitas.
You were clear about your intention for the audience as they listened to you speak and so created instant rapport?
You could leverage your visibility and credibility at work and beyond through this speech?

Here's What Other People are Saying...

Our coach was personable and professional. So knowledgeable and skilled. I was able to relax and learn.

Hello, I am Emma!

Great speakers are made, not born. They are forged through a process of experience and the same is true of ideas. I have helped inspirational people define their ideas, curate their stories and deliver exceptional speeches over the last five years.

Having trained as a speech therapist as well as having a Masters Degree in voice coaching and training, from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, I can approach coaching from a scientific and artistic perspective. The science of voice production and the theory and practice of theatre.

Because I have worked in the public, private and start-up spaces I bring an understanding of business so I can make sure your speech is tailored to land with business and lay audiences. This is a speech that is going to bring you visibility so let’s make sure you are showing up in the best way possible, so that you get the opportunities that you deserve.

Here's What You'll Get:

Ultimate Outcomes:

A speech that represents you, your personal brand and your big idea that you can use and re-use to elevate your profile and career so that you are recognized for the expert that you are.

A process for creating further talks after your initial speech, so that you can extend your talk into a longer keynote or a shorter 2-5 minute networking pitch, so that you can continue to be more and more visible after the programme.

An ability to deliver an exceptional TED talk with persuasion, personality and presence so that you do yourself, your idea and your career justice.
