Getting on stage to deliver a talk will absolutely elevate your platform, and allow you to come into this game already known.

It can be difficult to think about giving a talk, so start here for some of my favorites:

• Stop searching for your passion | Terri Trespicio | TEDxKC
• The skill of self-confidence | Dr. Ivan Joseph | TEDxRyersonU
• How to Have a Good Conversation | Celeste Headlee | TEDxCreativeCoast

Now, take a look at your book outline. Which part of it could you turn into a ten-minute speech?

Start mapping it out. See where you can take it.

And if you’re feeling brave, take it to TedX. Then see which direction you’ll head.
