As Executive Director of TEDxNashville from 2019 - 2020, I worked directly with each of the below speakers, from the speaker selection and audition phase, to the day-of the conference and helping post-event to boost their video viewcount and visibility.  TEDxNashville is one of the only TEDx organizations that has a dedicated Speaker Coach Committee of dedicated volunteers who work one-on-one with each speaker to prepare them months in advance and ensure that they are adhering to TED's standard of excellence and making sure they deliver a TEDx talk that will be the best it can be.
