Thank You For Coming To My TED Talk

In 2019, I managed to fulfil a long-held ambition to be a speaker at a TEDx event. 
My talk was entitled ‘How To Stop Feeling Anxious About Anxiety’.

The talk has since had 2.6 million views and has been pivotal in advancing my progress towards being regarded as an expert in the field of anxiety therapy.

However, the journey wasn’t a smooth one.
It took three years to get accepted as a speaker and over 6 months to prepare and refine the talk so that TED would accept it, and the event itself was one of the most challenging and rewarding tasks I have ever completed. However, the real drama began once the talk was over.
In this presentation, I will offer access all areas and behind-the-scenes insight into what it is like to prepare and deliver a TEDx talk: the hoops I had to jump through, the things I had to learn along the way, and also how an ex-social anxiety sufferer managed to overcome the challenge of remembering and delivering an 18 minute scripted talk to a crowd of 300. 


I’ll also describe the impact it has had on me personally and professionally as a result of that 18 minutes being seen by millions of people.
