Why take this course?

21st century life is noisier than ever - people are clocking onto the fact that attention is the most valuable commodity in the world and the result of that is that getting your message out there is harder than it's ever been before.

The good news is that public speaking isn't for everyone; standing on stage in front of any audience, whether it be 10 people or 1500 can feel a little scary because, anything worth doing is!

As the Curator of TEDxClapham, I receive messages from people daily asking for a speaking slot on the big stage.  It's great to see so many people wanting to push themselves out of their comfort zone by stepping in the spotlight to share their message and inspire others, but the problem is, 95% of the pitches I receive don't make it passed the first stage and it is a real shame.

That's why I've created this course.

History has proven time and time again that public speaking can change the world and this course is to help anyone with an important message to share get heard, regardless of whether they are a first time speaker or a seasoned professional.

The blueprint I share in this course, has helped hundreds of my private clients land speaking gigs across the world. My client record is 4 speaking gigs landed from 10 speaker pitches sent.

At the end of the course, I will invite you to my free private community where you will be able to let me know how you've got on and I'll will provide tips and tricks on how to write an incredible talk for the speaking engagement that you've just landed.

Up for the challenge, set yourselves up to win by making sure you've found somewhere quiet and have something to write on, something to write with and something to drink.

I am looking to grow into the keynote speaking space, and this is great information that makes me reflect on the path, and helps me plan for the future.

It was a bit short and I wish there were hand-outs and forms, but it answered the questions I was seeking when purchasing it and I feel less anxious about the next steps of my journey. I figured I understood what to do next, but hearing from a TEDx organizer exactly what has to be done was helpful. Thank you for this information.

Really good information, chatty format, in how to create good content and how to get it out there. My biggest suggestion would be to do a wrap-up at the end with the highlights, and perhaps a downloadable that has the same.

It is good, however it is remarkably short and I actually purchased this one by accident as I don't buy courses without plenty of positive reviews 4.3 stars or above. I will see by the end if it was worth it. Completed the course in one sitting. It's short and straight to the point and refreshingly so. Not a course on how to speak but as the title says how to get speaking gigs. Not that it covers how to get paid, just how to get booked to speak ( Most likely for free). It was worth it in the end. If it gets me as far as having some talks under my belt that will allow me to build confidence, hone my craft and build credibility, then it is worth it to me. No fluff or filler included at all, just actionable content.

The course was full of very good information. Thank you for giving me a starting point. Great stuff. I appreciate the extra info given to help find TEDx speaking events. Great and worth the money.

I really liked hearing where to look for speaking gigs and the template to approach them was very helpful. I plan to use this information right away.

Thank you, Alex, for this great introduction to getting booked to speak. I found the content practical and engaging. I especially enjoyed the tips on pitching the talk, shortlisting events, and the different types of events. It could be improved by adding a bit more detail about the type of speech you'd prepare for each type of event - although perhaps you'd prefer to include that in a separate course.

This course has delivered exactly what I need at this stage, I'm now ready to put it into practice and will revisit modules as I go along.

The beauty of this course is the concise lessons all with an actionable steps that are clear and easy to follow. Alex doesnt hold back on the content either which is refreshing he shares everything you need to go get speaking gigs and do a good job of it. Definitely recommend this to anyone who has a business or speaking is part of their job

The content material really flows with my expectation. An outline of a course that I looked at previously was more about the brilliance of them than how they would improve me.

Finished this a few days back. Just got an email back from an organiser out here in Dubai. They've had a speaker drop out and want me to fill in last minute in 2 days time. RESULT! P.s. the reason it's 4.5 stars is because I got the gig a few days later not in an hour ;-p

Not sure that I'm ready for the TEDx stage yet, but I've got a couple of gigs lined up now so who knows what the future holds?! Would have been great to have had some public speaking tips in the course as well, but I've joined your private community so looking forward to being part of that.

I always thought speaking opportunities were hard to come by! Alex, your course has opened up a whole new world of opportunity - thank you. I have approached 10 organisers. Fingers crossed!
