Maestros of TEDx and Performance: video chat

What have I learned about hosting a TEDx event?

• There’s a raw thrill of growing a big idea…and in this case, our great big idea is TEDxPotomac.
• It’s energizing to see volunteers themselves become a community — investing their drive, strengths, energy into a day of performance, an intended gift for our city DC.

And a lot more will follow soon in a blog series about the thrills and pure tactics of preparing TEDx story arcs (…after our TEDxPotomac event that’s May 20th, W00t!).

I’m organizing the volunteer speech coaching team for our tremendous presenters. Through in-person sessions, Skype, phone, WebEx – we offer support and practice with our speakers on their local TED talk.

And the #1 favorite part of the TEDx experience? Meeting creative, wonderful folks like Chris Keener and Melissa Krodman – our TEDxPotomac emcees!

Meet them too above … as they cut-up and talk shop after this weekend’s planning session.
