Could Your Idea Become a TEDx talk ?

Perhaps you've spent years developing expertise in your field. You've gained insights, challenged conventional thinking, or recognized possibilities that others may not yet see.
You know you have something important to contribute to the larger conversation.

From Ideas to TEDx Stages
For over 15 years, I've helped women bring their ideas, expertise, and leadership into the larger public conversation.
Through Women on Stage and my private mentorships, I've supported women from a wide range of fields in developing their TEDx talks and preparing to share their ideas with the world.
Here are just a few of the extraordinary women I've had the privilege of supporting on their TEDx journeys.

For over 15 years, I've supported women leaders, experts, and changemakers in bringing their ideas and leadership into the larger public conversation—from TEDx stages to the United Nations to renowned universities.
After giving my own TEDx talk in 2015, I founded Women on Stage to help more women develop their ideas, share their expertise, and take their place on TEDx stages.
Since then, I've guided hundreds of women in developing their talks, strengthening their public speaking, and expanding their influence and impact.
I believe women's voices and leadership are essential to creating a more just and equitable world. And I'm committed to helping more women bring their ideas into the conversations shaping our future.
