Does This Sound Familiar?

You're good at what you do.

Maybe really, really good.

But you're still trading hours for dollars.

Because your expertise lives in your head — not in the world.

Meanwhile, someone with half your experience is charging twice your rate.

Not because they're better. Because they have a stage.

The market doesn't reward good.

It rewards visible.

A TEDx talk doesn't just put you on a stage for 18 minutes.
It makes the world see you differently — permanently.

What a TEDx Talk Actually Does

The fastest way to go from expert to authority.

01

Strangers trust you immediately

A TEDx talk travels. It gets shared, cited, and found. Years later, it's still working — without you.

02

You stop chasing clients

When people find your talk, they already want to work with you. The conversation starts at yes, not at "tell me more."

03

You can finally charge what you're worth

Authority commands different rates. Not because you changed — because the proof of your value became searchable.

04

Opportunities find you

Press. Podcast invites. Speaking fees. Book deals. The talk becomes the door that opens a hundred others.

Imagine This

Someone finds your talk on Google. Watches 18 minutes of you thinking out loud. And emails you:
"I need to work with you."

That's what a stage does. It does the work you're too busy to do yourself.

What You'll Walk Away With

30 minutes. Nothing held back.

This isn't a preview. It's the actual framework — the behind-the-scenes strategy I wish someone had handed me when I started.

  • What TEDx committees are actually looking for It's not credentials. It's not fame. Here's what really gets you selected — and why most applications get ignored.
  • The one thing that gets most applications rejected There's a single mistake almost everyone makes. Once you see it, you can't unsee it — and you won't make it.
  • How to develop an idea worth spreading Not every idea belongs on a TED stage — but yours might. We'll show you how to find the angle that lands a yes.

About Mehrnaz

From not speaking until 13 — to two TEDx stages.

"I didn't speak to anyone outside my family until I was thirteen. No adult heard my voice."

Not shyness. Selective mutism — a condition that silences you before you even understand what's happening. I found my voice eventually. Not quickly, and not without cost. Through failures, setbacks, and years of quiet, stubborn trying. But every time I looked back at how far I'd come, the difficulty felt worth it. Those were my beginnings.

I've been on two TEDx stages. I'm the recipient of the Futurpreneur Canada Entrepreneur of the Year Award. I've been featured in HuffPost, Thrive Global, Maclean's, and the TED Ideas Blog. I built an award-winning tutoring company that took students from failing to 80s and 90s. Now I coach professionals and entrepreneurs in building a personal brand that opens doors — and keeps them open.

None of this came from luck or connections. It came from learning how to position myself — so that the right people could find me, trust me, and want to work with me. That skill is learnable. And it changes everything.

This webinar is me handing you what I had to figure out the hard way. I'm sharing it because I know how long it takes to get there alone — and I don't think it needs to take that long.

Questions

A few things people ask before signing up.

When is the webinar? +
The exact date is being finalized. Waitlist members are notified first and guaranteed a spot — no scrambling when registration opens.
Who is this actually for? +
This is for professionals, coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs who are building a personal brand and want to understand how a TEDx talk fits into it. If you're ready to stop being invisible — and start charging like the expert you already are — this is for you.
Is this going to be a sales pitch? +
No. This 30 minutes is complete on its own. You'll walk away with a real framework you can act on immediately. If you want to go deeper afterward, there are ways to do that — but nothing is required, and nothing is hidden.
Do I need to already have a TEDx talk in mind? +
No. Many people who join this webinar are in the earlier stage — they know they want to build authority, but they're not sure if TEDx is the right vehicle or where to start. That's exactly what we work through together.
What if I can't make it live? +
Waitlist members who register early receive the full recording sent directly to their inbox. That's one of the specific reasons to join the waitlist now rather than waiting for a public announcement.

You already have the expertise.
It's time the world knew it.
