DR GPT™ · TEDx coaching sprints
My directory finds the speaker calls. These sprints cover the step after that: an application a selection team remembers, a video that sounds like you, and a talk you can deliver without notes. I'm a five-time TEDx speaker and a board-certified emergency physician, and I coach one speaker at a time.
$297 · members $249
Send me your application video script and one recorded take. Within three business days you get timed, line-by-line notes on the hook, pacing, eye contact and close, plus a re-check of your second take.
Best for: calls that ask for a 1 to 3 minute video.
$750 · members $650
I read your one-sentence idea, your application answers and your video. You get written notes, a 45-minute call to tighten everything, and a final read before you hit submit.
Best timing: two to four weeks before a deadline.
$3,500 · members $3,000
Four 60-minute sessions over four to six weeks on the core idea, structure, opening, story and slides, with notes on two recorded rehearsals.
Best timing: the week you're selected.
$7,500 · members $6,500
Six sessions over eight weeks, a line edit of your script, a slide review, notes on every rehearsal you send, a full dress-rehearsal call and a check-in during event week.
Best for: a first TEDx stage, or a talk tied to your career.
Members of TEDx Speaker Calls get the member price and priority scheduling, with member checkout links inside the members area. The Video and Application Sprints can be bought right now. After you pay, I email you within one business day to collect your script, video or application. For the two coaching sprints, send a request first so I can confirm the fit and your dates, then I email you a secure payment link. The free Talk Builder and teleprompter inside the members area pair well with the Video Sprint.
No coach can guarantee a TEDx slot. Each TEDx team runs its own selection, and TED doesn't choose TEDx speakers. What I can do is help you present a clear idea, follow the TEDx rules and walk on stage prepared. Coaching is independent of TED and of any TEDx event.
No. Members pay less for every sprint and get priority scheduling, and the directory helps you find the right events to apply to.
If the call asks for a video, start with the Video Sprint. If you're writing the whole application, choose the Application Sprint. Once a TEDx team says yes, move to the Selected Speaker Sprint or the Stage-Ready Intensive.
Stripe emails your receipt right away. Within one business day, I email you to collect what I need: your script and video for the Video Sprint, or your application draft for the Application Sprint. If a sprint turns out to be the wrong fit before I start, I refund you in full.
Start with my free guide to applying to speak at TEDx and the directory. A sprint works best once you have a specific event and deadline.
No. A TEDx talk has to be your idea in your words, and selection teams can tell when it isn't. I help you find the core idea, structure it, cut it and deliver it. Every line stays yours.
Yes. Every session runs on a video call, so you can join from anywhere. Rehearsal notes come back in writing or on a short recorded video.
Yes. Your Stripe receipt works for most reimbursement programs. If your company needs an invoice, say so in your request and I'll send one.
It happens to strong speakers, often because of a theme or lineup fit. Your Application Sprint notes carry over to your next application, and the directory helps you find the next call fast.
