Hello, I’m John Bates…

In 2010 I totally, utterly blew my first talk from the TED stage. I had been a public speaker for most of my life, but the TED format was something very different, and I blew it! I still get a stomach ache when I think about it.

However, that experience launched my quest to understand and master the TED format. And, thankfully, I got another chance and have now spoken at the TED conference several times and have spoken at many TEDx conferences, as well. It has been over a decade since I humiliated myself, and I am now one of the world’s most successful and prolific TED Format coaches. I’ve trained speakers for over 35 TEDx events and leaders at organizations like Johnson & Johnson, Boston Scientific, NASA - including the active astronauts, Navy Special Operations, and many, many more.

Now, I want to share all of my secrets, hard-earned lessons, and insider knowledge with you. I never want you to feel the humiliation I felt. Instead, I want you to walk offstage elated!

This course has transformed the trajectory of many individual speeches and the trajectory of entire lives for hundreds and hundreds of Executives, Leaders, Entrepreneurs, and Change-Makers - just like you - from all over the world.

So whether you’re raising money, leading a team or an entire company, or out to start a movement, excellent communication and mastering the TED Format will make you vastly more successful at everything you do.
