A few years ago I did a TEDx talk in Bergen, Norway and it's now close to 90.000 views! A lot of people who are in a possession of a great idea or knowledge ask me how to do you get on stage at a TEDx event.

Well there are in my eyes two ways.

One, become a public speaker, have an idea worth spreading, and become really good at it. I was contacted by the TEDx team because they had heard about me in the news and from other people who had seen me live before, and knew I had a good talk about challenges for young entrepreneurs and how to overcome it. Thats one way of doing it.

The second way is to get all of your network to recommend you to a TEDx team locally so that they cant miss out you. Imagine if 10 of your colleagues or friends write to a local TEDx team and says "Hey you should really invite this person xxx to your event who is an expert about xxx and has a really great talk about it. " That should get them to notice you and up your chance of getting featured on stage.

If you were invited to a TEDx talk,what would you speak about?
