How to get on a TEDx stage
What does it take to stand on a TEDx stage and deliver a talk that truly changes how people think?
Join award-winning communication strategist and founder of Talent Academy, Sanja Hendrick, for a powerful and practical session designed to take you from “I’ve got an idea” to “I’m ready for the TEDx spotlight.”
With over a decade of experience coaching leaders, founders, and TEDx speakers, and working alongside global thought leaders and innovators, Sanja specialises in turning complex ideas into clear, compelling messages that land with impact.
As Head of Speaker Training for TEDx in South Australia and a trusted coach to high-stakes communicators, she understands exactly what curators look for — and what separates a good talk from a truly unforgettable one.
This session isn’t theory. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at how TEDx speakers are selected, shaped, and positioned for success.
Whether you’re a speaker, business owner, leader, or someone with a message that matters, this event will give you the clarity, confidence, and strategy to take your ideas to the next level.
What you’ll gain (Top 3 Takeaways):
1. What TEDx organisers are REALLY looking for
Understand how ideas are selected, what makes a talk “TEDx-worthy,” and how to position your message so it stands out in a competitive field.
2. How to craft an idea worth spreading
Learn how to distil your message into a clear, compelling concept that connects emotionally and intellectually — the foundation of every great TEDx talk.
3. How to deliver with confidence and impact
Discover the communication techniques used by top speakers to overcome nerves, command the stage, and deliver a message that resonates long after the talk ends.
If you’ve ever thought, “I have something to say… but I don’t know how to say it powerfully enough,” this is your opportunity.
This isn’t just about getting on a stage.
It’s about making your ideas impossible to ignore.
