TED, which stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design, is an annual conference which features speakers who approach ideas from various disciplines.
TEDx is a program created by TED so that communities and organizations all around the world can organize similar events which have the same mission: ideas worth spreading.
What’s amazing about these TEDx speakers is that you can actually book them for your own event.
Here are three speakers which will spark conversation, connect and share knowledge with your audience.
Inspiring TEDx Speakers
John Register
John is a four-time all-American collegiate track athlete, two-times Olympic Trials Qualifier and a United States Army Gulf War veteran. Unfortunately, due to an injury, he had his left leg amputated.
Thanks to his determination and great ambition, only 27 months after his surgery, John was qualified to become a member of the Paralympic swim team.
Four years after this achievement, he learned how to run on a prosthesis and made it into the history books by winning the long jump silver medal in Sydney, Australia.
The challenges and struggles he went through helped him learn a lot about change management, competitive advantage and resilience. John has the ability to take these lessons and make them relatable to business leaders and college sports associations.
His speech is dynamic, authentic and engaging, which is why John manages to inspire and capture the audience’s attention with humor, enthusiasm, and emotion.
Amy Vetter
Amy has more than 20 years of experience as an accomplished serial entrepreneur, tech business executive, CPA and yogi.
Her engaging, motivating speech and heartfelt stories she shares, inspire various audiences, such as corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, women in business and financial advisors.
In her talks, Amy focuses on helping audiences build an authentic, successful and innovative life in business.
She offers her unique perspective on topics such as work-life balance, productivity, women’s leadership and empowerment, entrepreneurship, technology and innovation, and the future of accounting and financial services.
The best thing about Amy’s talks is the fact that your guests will leave with a step-by-step action plan and a list of go-to resources.
Lance Allred
Lance is the best example of leadership, perseverance, and grit. He’s the first deaf player in the history of NBA and one of the most inspiring TEDx speakers who likes to challenge audiences.
Lance is the speaker you need if you want to inspire your guests to pick themselves up every time they get knocked down, how to become leaders, how to find success outside of their comfort zones.
One of the most impressive aspects of Lance’s career is the fact that he is the first outside speaker which the FBI has ever brought in for group training and consultation on leadership development.

Even though TEDx events are happening all over the world now, some people may not be able to make it and hear amazing, inspirational speeches.
