Beyond TEDx: Make a Big Impact with a Short Talk and Grow Your Speaking Business!

Wanna grow your speaking business? Then you don’t want to miss our NSA NT Virtual Lab with Hayley Foster, the Short Talk Expert. Hayley is the co-founder of TEDxNASA, the first large scale TEDx in history.  She has coached hundreds of speakers throughout 15 years and served as content curator, designated speaker coach and selection committee member for dozens of TEDxs internationally. If you want to grow your speaking business, Hayley knows the secrets to the short talk strategies behind TEDx success! Hayley has used these processes with CEOs, astronauts, artists, in pitch competitions and multinational corporations. Her coaching influence extends to some of NSA’s most recognizable members.

In this session, Hayley pulls back the curtain and shows you how to craft a Short Talk, shares essential strategies and reveals tactics that empower your speaking success.

Join us for an engaging session including:

• A talk that fits is a talk that sticks: Short Talk basics for (almost) any situation
• Do This, not That! Translating your speaking skill for Short Talk use
• How to easily leverage Short Talks to grow and scale your speaking business

Short Talk Expert®, Hayley Foster coaching & consulting has made hundreds of TEDx presenters shine. Her practice includes CEOs, novices, educators, artists and astronauts – and over a hundred talks by speaking professionals. Experience as one of the original TEDx organizers yielded a proprietary process for crafting original, compelling core messages that matter. Many of her distinguished clients agree, crafting and delivering a short talk to TEDx & other high stakes venues was the single best contribution to their professional development in years.

Attention spans are short. As interest in TED-style talks has permeated meetings and conferences everywhere, Hayley’s practice has broadened from TEDx speakers and speaking professionals to include anyone from any field with a good idea to present in a short talk. If you want to use speaking to gain visibility, you need Hayley to adapt to short form message delivery.

An NSA member since 2002, Hayley provides Delivering Brilliance keynotes and trainings, as well as short talk coaching services to individual speakers and events as a whole. Hayley was the designated Speaker Coach for six TEDxNASA events. She has mentored dozens of TEDx organizers and content curators worldwide. In the last ten years, she has seen seven talks she has coached rise to TED.com. NSA member Bruce Turkel, CSP CPAE, was selected as a TEDx Editor Pick of the Week. Expert on Distinction Scott McKain says Hayley’s popular Minibuk, Donʼt Tank Your TED Talk: 12 Mistakes Professional Speakers Make “should be used as a guide, for all speakers, for all talks.”
