Launching yourself into the public speaking world is not easy. Where do you start? What do you speak about? Who will care? And where can get start getting experience? How can get start working with event promoters?

This October Business Month in Darwin, we'll be showcasing twelve new voices at a Gala Keynote Evening at Darwin Innovation Hub. It will be a night of inspiration, learning and discovery as the Territory hears from diverse voices that have never had the chance to step forward before.

This is the first of four monthly coaching sessions for those who are looking to take part in the gala event in October. This is an important part of the process, as only those who have participated in the free coaching sessions will be asked to participate in the gala event and be in the competition to win $2000 of paid speaker bookings in 2025.

This first coaching session will cover:

Introduction to TED-style Talks
- Overview of TED and TEDx

Finding Your Unique Idea
