Hello, I'm Elaine Powell -Welcomes To
"The Speak and Serve" Opportunity
You’ve Got a Powerful Message —
But Delivering a TEDx Talk Still Feels Out of Reach
What’s holding you back isn’t a lack of talent — it’s not having a clear process to follow. You’ve got the expertise, the story, and the message.
But when it comes to TEDx, perhaps your doubts and concerns creep in:
The Self-Doubt Spiral
“Which idea do I choose?”
“What if I’m not ready?”
“What if I get rejected?”
So you put it off.
You tell yourself, “Maybe next year,” while deep down, you know you’re meant for more.
Watching Others Move Forward
Meanwhile, others are taking the stage, changing lives — because they took action.
And you? You stay on the sidelines... not because you can’t — but because you hesitate.
The Real Cost of Delay
Every delay chips away at your confidence, momentum, and message.
And the cost? It’s more than missed stages — it’s missed impact, missed legacy, and missed fulfilment. And all of that can turn into a habit.
The Self-Doubt Spiral

So you put it off.

The Real Cost of Delay
Every delay chips away at your confidence, momentum, and message.
And the cost? It’s more than missed stages — it’s missed impact, missed legacy, and missed fulfilment. And all of that can turn into a habit.
BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS:
Your message can’t change lives if it stays locked inside you.
By keeping on waiting, putting things off and being indecisive -
There is an impact
Because success takes courage
It takes being decisive
It takes trusting your inner guide - that says "go for it'
It takes ACTION!
I SEE WHO YOU TRULY ARE... POWERFUL, BOLD, COURAGEOUS.
I HOPE YOU SEE THAT IN YOURSELF TOO!
Delivering a TEDx talk had been on my heart for years, but at 56, I worried time was running out. Saying yes gave me the structure, support, and belief to finally do it. It boosted my confidence, clarified my message, and brought new focus to my business. If you’ve been putting it off, this could be the catalyst you’ve been waiting for.
I knew I had a powerful idea, but had no clue how to navigate the TEDx process or bring it to life. This journey taught me how to craft and tell my story with impact, and keep me accountable to my bigger vision. Please push through your fear, it is absolutely worth it.
I wanted to share my message with the world and build a career as a speaker. I was not a professional speaker but now I’m doing both. With Elaine’s guidance every step of the way, I’ve not only delivered my TEDx talk, but I’m also earning a living through speaking and growing my business up to the next level.

I had been sitting on my TEDx dream for years. I kept saying ‘next year’ but nothing changed. I doubted my idea and feared rejection. Elaine’s process gave me clarity, structure, and the mindset shift I didn’t know I needed. Then three months later, I delivered my TEDx talk with confidence and it opened doors I couldn’t have imagined.
I contacted Elaine four weeks before delivering my TEDx talk. She helped me uncover my core idea, transformed my script into something clear, compelling, and audience-focused. That talk positioned me as a voice for asylum seekers, leading to features on multiple news channels. I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve achieved with over 129,000 views on Youtube.
Working with Elaine was a
game-changer.
I came to her needing clarity and direction with my idea, and she helped me shape it into something powerful and compelling. Because of her coaching, I landed my TEDx talk—and more importantly, I found the confidence to truly own and share my message. Thank you!
