Finally, TEDx...
My ADHD-inspired TEDx talk, fifty years in the making.
TLDR: I’m speaking at TEDx Franklin on March 28th. Tickets are limited to 100 and are already selling quickly. I’d love to see you there. Grab one today before they are gone.
Howdy, Wise Squirrel,
As a professional keynote speaker for over 15 years, I have always wanted to deliver a TED Talk. TED is at the top of the mountain for professional speakers, and I’m thankful that years ago, TED launched TEDx local community conferences.
I know other speakers who have delivered multiple TEDx talks, some better than others. I’ve also seen talks that didn’t seem to fit the speakers or seemed unrehearsed or poorly planned. To me, TEDx is important, and I’ve waited years to deliver my talk because I wanted the topic to be my most important message, not just something on my mind.
Can you guess my topic?
If you’ve been following Wise Squirrels for a while, you’ll know that I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2023, and this newsletter and podcast were made to share my journey with you, remove stigmas, and empower fellow late-diagnosed adults.
I’m excited to deliver my first, and hopefully only (unless I’m invited to the TED stage), TEDx talk on March 28th in Franklin, Tennessee (just south of Nashville).
If you are in the area, I hope to see you there. It’s going to be an inspiring event filled with brilliant speakers whom I’m sure you will enjoy.
If you can’t make it because of commitments or geography, no worries. I’ll share the recording when it’s live on TED’s YouTube Channel. Stay tuned.
Have a great weekend,
Dave.
PS: Have you heard the latest episode with Dr. Lidia Zylowska? We discussed meditation and mindfulness for ADHD, an important topic worth digging into.
