Clarify Your Big Idea
Tell Your Powerful Story
Make a Compelling Case
Book Your Talk
Want to make a
dent in the
universe?
You're an expert. A thought leader. An established voice in your industry.
You've got a story to tell, lessons to share, a moment ready to turn into a movement...
But you need a platform.
Not just any platform, but one that commands the authority and respect that you and your Big Idea deserve. That's why so many folks in your situation seek a TED-style talk, because it's the Holy Grail of authority.
And yet getting invited to speak on the Red Dot is really, really hard.
In fact, most conference organizers today receive 300-500 submissions for just 8-10 slots. One recently told us that they received over 1,000!
And you may not realize… these prestigious conferences are completely volunteer organized and run 😲
Which means they don't have the resources to meticulously pour through every single application.
For that reason, there are so many brilliant speakers with Big Ideas that are simply getting lost in the noise.
We don't let that happen. Our private clients have an 85% success rate booking their talk 🔥
When you compare that to the industry standard 1-5% acceptance rate, our program speaks for itself.
And now, I'm going to share our entire methodology with you, and a small handful of experts and leaders, in a 6 week bootcamp.
Welcome to Road to the Red Dot!

FAQs
-
Absolutely not. Most of our clients, including in our 1-1 program, come in with only a loose idea of their topic, or the issue they want to address.
One of the primary reasons for this bootcamp is to flesh out your topic and turn it into a proper TED-style idea.
-
That's actually one of the best reasons to enroll in this bootcamp. By the end of the summer, you will know for sure whether a TED-style talk is right for you. For many, this is worth the price of admission: It can take 9-15 months and 200 hours of your life to deliver one of these talks. You really want to be sure it's the right move for you, before you invest that kind of time and energy. And if you discover that it isn't, you still leave with the most powerful, compelling versions of your Big Idea, which you can turn into speaking engagements, coaching or consulting programs, or marketing language for your movement.
-
You'll get access to all replays for life, plus the workbooks, and the community support where you can ask personal questions. If you cannot make ANY of the live sessions but still want to join the program, we'll be happy to offer a special rate. Inquire by emailing team@clarityupconsulting.com
-
No. We offer no guarantees whatsoever, for two reasons: 1) Because we are not affiliated with TED Conference LLC or any TEDx conference, and therefore are not permitted to make any guarantees about anything, and 2) Because conference organizers are just people with their own preferences, and the right to make any decision they want regarding speaker selection, within the rules of the TED organization (which, again, we are not affiliated with in any capacity). What you'll get is a tested messaging and conference strategy framework that our clients have used with great success.
-
Yes, you can pay $1500 USD in full, up front, or in 3 monthly payments of $550. Choose on the checkout page.
-
Because intellectual property laws prevent us from saying the other thing. Keep that in mind when you research other programs in this space 🙃
-
Anytime during or following the bootcamp you can schedule a discovery call about our private Conquer the Red Dot® VIP program. If you're a good fit, you'll be invited to enroll, and 1) you are welcome to simultaneously stay in the bootcamp, 2) your bootcamp fee will be applied to the VIP program, so you'll never be double-charged.
