TEDx Truths, Speaking Myths & The Motivation Behind “The Motivated Speaker” with Ruth Milligan
Today I talk with Ruth Milligan, executive speech coach, TEDx curator extraordinaire, and founder of Articulation Inc. Ruth ran TEDxColumbus for 12 straight years (a Herculean feat that deserves its own standing ovation!) and recently released her new book The Motivated Speaker. Not “motivational,” mind you—motivated. There’s a big difference, and we unpack that in this episode.
We start by going behind the scenes of the TEDx world... what most people don’t know about how speakers are selected, what really goes on in organizing these events, and why “your keynote is not your TEDx talk.”
Ruth and I also talk about the unethical “TEDx-for-sale” promises floating around, and how aspiring speakers can do it the right way, with integrity, authenticity, and actual impact. (Spoiler: following directions matters.)
Then, we dive into her book, where she shares the six threshold concepts every powerful speaker needs to cross, messy, transformative milestones that take you from good to unforgettable. We explore two of them in detail, and they are absolute game-changers.
