Alignment & Fit

High-stakes stages like TEDx evaluate ideas for clarity, relevance, and universal insight before considering structure or delivery. This engagement focuses on shaping your idea to meet those standards.

This work is for people who:

  • Idea architecture: the claim, insight, and underlying logic.
  • Selection readiness: shaping the idea to meet curator standards.
  • Structure: a narrative spine that holds under scrutiny.
  • Direct, evaluator-grade feedback.

This is not for people who:

  • Delivery coaching (voice, stage presence, gestures, memorization).
  • Performance polish or speaker “confidence” work.
  • A generic talk template or motivational reframing.
  • A guarantee of acceptance by any event.

The problem this solves

Many capable speakers have meaningful experience, but selectors look for one transferable insight—not just a compelling story.

A strong idea can be stated clearly and meaningfully and resonate beyond personal experience.

What “TEDx-caliber” means

A TEDx-caliber idea means:

How the engagement works

Format1:1
Duration4 weeks
FocusIdea clarity and structure
1

Clarify the idea

We isolate the core claim, the supporting logic, and the sentence you are actually trying to earn.

2

Build the narrative spine

We shape the through-line so the audience can follow the argument without effort.

3

Stress-test for selection standards

We pressure-test originality, relevance, and audience value from an evaluator’s perspective.

4

Package the framework

You leave with a clean, selection-ready structure you can adapt for TEDx, keynotes, and other high-stakes stages.

Engagement deliverables

In this 4-week, 1:1 engagement you will receive:

Who this is for / not for

Who it’s for

  • Want to assess and refine the idea itself before time on delivery
  • Are open to direct, structural feedback
  • Aim for TEDx or similar high-stakes stages

Who it’s not for

  • Want only delivery or confidence coaching
  • Expect guaranteed stage placement
  • Are not open to critique or revision

Investment

$5,000

This is priced for judgment and outcome: evaluator-grade clarity, a selection-ready framework, and direct feedback on what will (and will not) work for high-stakes stages.

This is not billed by the hour and is not positioned as “sessions.” It is a defined 4-week advisory engagement with a specific deliverable: a strong, coherent idea architecture.
