Full disclosure: I have TED Talk FOMO. For experts and innovators, the TED Talk is the holy grail of achievement. It’s a highly selective process which now functions as a farm team of sorts for the main TED brand: either an invitation to the original TED Conference in Vancouver or-- even better-- an opportunity to have a video of your TEDx talk featured on TED.com. On giving a TEDx Talk: "Are you willing to do it just for the idea itself?" “I want to know why your idea is worth spreading!”Training for a TEDx talk can be an end in itself.
