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 @ozoned I had a Tedx talk too, in 2015. Now many of projects I talked about, are more than obsolete. But not the main concept.

@elena @ozoned I also developed a very good friendship in that event. But I lost him. His name is Leonardo Cenci, he's been the first lung cancer patient who ran the New York marathon. He died on Jan 30th 2019. He's talked right after me, on a pre-recorded video as he was ill those days.

@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/
