Her biggest takeaway is the clarity and confidence she has around her message and purpose.
How We Began
The short story is our founder, Taylor Conroy, gave a TEDx talk (his first-ever public speech) 8 years ago on an idea he was extremely passionate about. That talk exploded his speaking career (he started getting gigs at Harvard, Google, The United Nations, Disney, 100+ more) and made a huge impact (funded 500+ schools, libraries, homes & more impact projects for 200,000+ people in developing countries.)
After the massive success that stemmed from Taylors first TEDx talk, he built a team of branding and communication experts to help authors, coaches, entrepreneurs & health practitioners clarify their idea, amplify their voice and share their message on a broad scale. We’ve now helped 200+ people share their ideas on TEDx stages and more through our proven, step-by-step process.
Who We Are & What We stand for
We are a high-vibe team from diverse backgrounds with one common theme: We all believe that one idea has the power to create a movement. Speaking is the most effective catalyst for creating positive change and transformation in the world. That’s why we spend our time turning people with groundbreaking ideas into thought leaders and influencers that reach a global audience.
The journey of saying ‘yes’ to an inner calling to share your message is the first courageous step. The transformation you experience through the discovery of clarifying your idea, amplifying your voice and spreading your message has the power to shift humanity. That is what we stand for and why we exist.
