To be honest, I am curious why everyone consider becoming TEDx speaker is hard. As I mentioned in my guide, it requires good speech idea, and finding organizing TEDx team. Nevertheless, having TEDx on your CV or portfolio is very impressive for HR and good conversation point for job interview. Here is why:

1. Demonstration of Public Speaking and Communication Skill. Giving a TEDx talk demands a lot of preparation, coaching, and practice, which builds unshakable stage confidence. It helps for presentations and meetings in any company.

2. Credibility and Reputation.

TEDx is a respected and well-known platform. Having a TEDx talk on one’s record significantly boosts personal and professional credibility. You will really enjoy discussing it on every job interview.

3. Networking and Relationship Building.

TEDx events provide a unique networking opportunity with organizers, attendees, and fellow speakers. As for me, being part of several speaker communities, gave me a lot of proposals to travel and talk about AI.

4. Demonstrated Ability to Inspire and Lead

TEDx talks are about sharing impactful ideas that inspire action and change. The talk in the sake of ideas worthy spreading shows your leadership.

5. Career Advancement and Visibility

A successful TEDx talk increases visibility and can attract new opportunities such as consulting, collaborations, or speaking engagements. But, in my experience, it’s always proactive thing. Event organizers will never find you unless you have 1M followers, so finding events and opportunities is up to you.

To finish this post, I wish you to stay proactive. The first and most important of “7 skills for success”. For me, TEDx talk was a path to start traveling, negotiation with different event organizers, getting paid for speaking, and other remarkable experience.
