On the cusp of a new year, the air is charged with promise. Many are contemplating resolutions that will reshape personal and professional paths.

While the classics like hitting the gym or earning more CEU credits have their merits, the New Year’s resolution that goes beyond the ordinary is delivering a TED Talk.

Frankly, a breakaway TED Talk can make 2024 a career game-changer. (I know, because the "New Years effect" has happened again and again and again for my clients.)

It is a heavy lift of a goal. So why dedicate the time and treasure necessary to claim your TEDster prize? Beyond the prestige associated with a TED stage, here are 5 reasons:

This isn't just another speech; it's a platform for your ideas to resonate with people around the world. A TED Talk allows you to amplify your voice and contribute to the world’s collective wisdom. Your unique viewpoint could be celebrated across the globe.

The TEDster movement has evolved into a global phenomenon, creating a community of innovators. By making a TED Talk your goal, you're not only contributing to this community but also entering it. The connections, collaborations, and friendships that can emerge are invaluable.

Your ideas can challenge others' perspectives and motivate them to take action. TED talks have the power to inspire change, both on an individual level and within communities. The motivating potential of a powerful message can be truly catalytic.

In the professional sphere, personal branding has become more critical than ever. A TED Talk showcases your expertise, passion, and vision to a diverse audience. Imagine what a more potent personal brand can do to open doors to exciting opportunities.

In the pursuit of meaningful goals, many of us yearn to leave a lasting legacy. A TED Talk provides an opportunity to encapsulate your wisdom, experiences, and insights. What’s more, your talk becomes a digital artifact, for future generations — one transcending time and space.

A Resolution for the Extraordinary.

Making a TED Talk your New Year's resolution isn't just about giving a speech; it's about embracing the extraordinary.

As you step into the new year, isn’t it time to challenge yourself to go beyond the ordinary?

Resolve now: Make TED your 2024 goal!
