Second Sunday Presents: Maria Leonard Olsen — How to Land a TEDx Talk Join us for an inspiring and practical conversation with Maria Leonard Olsen, a two-time TEDx speaker, author, attorney, journalist, and award-winning podcaster. Drawing from her own experience speaking on the TEDx stage, Maria shared actionable strategies for securing a TEDx Talk and using it as a powerful platform to amplify your message, expand your audience, and elevate your author brand. During the session, Maria offered valuable insights, including: Identifying a compelling "idea worth spreading" that aligns with TEDx values. Researching TEDx events that are the right fit for your expertise and story. Crafting a strong application that highlights your unique perspective and credibility. Developing a talk that is focused, memorable, and audience-centered. Leveraging a TEDx Talk to increase visibility, attract speaking opportunities, and support book marketing efforts. Building your platform before and after the talk through strategic networking and promotion. Maria's acclaimed TEDx talk, Turning Life's Challenges Into a Force for Good, explores how personal adversity can become a catalyst for growth, purpose, and positive change. The talk was later selected as a TEDx Editor's Pick, a distinction awarded to fewer than 1% of TEDx Talks.
