"$peaker Talk" with Tom Triumph | TEDx selection and preparation
"$peaker Talk" is an interview series where I have conversations with other professional speakers on insights of the speaking business. In these short videos, you'll take away extraordinary lessons and tips to apply in your own professional speaking. Our goal is to help you grow your speaking business!
In my conversation with 'The' Tom Triumph (TTT), we focus on how he was recently selected to be a TEDx speaker. He'll share insights how he was selected, how he prepared for his talk, what happened on the stage he didn't expect, and advice for pursuing TEDx speaking opportunities.
