Tessa Rawson, Founder of Resonance.
What would it mean for you if a million of people were impacted by YOUR idea?
I’ve been a TEDx organizer & public speaking coach for 13 years. I know what makes a great talk. And I know why good ideas get overlooked.
You don’t need to make a long speech to have a big impact. I coach founders to articulate huge ideas in a way that inspires action, affects change and wins investment.
With a proven TEDx success framework - TEDxPathway™ - and 5 years of experience working with founders, Tessa will ensure your next talk or pitch has serious impact.
How to work with Tessa
-
TEDx Coaching
Most people never get on the TEDx stage- not because they don’t have a great idea, and it’s nothing do with their experience as a speaker. It’s because they don’t have a strategy for getting there- and they didn’t have someone to show them the way. Your idea deserves that stage - let’s make it happen!
-
Speaker Thought Partner
You’re a seasoned speaker who doesn’t need a coach to write their next talk. You DO need: someone to bounce ideas off, expand new concepts, give you honest feedback on your scripts and a reliable practice partner.
-
Pitch Coaching
A great business plan doesn’t guarantee investment. To pitch successfully you need more than data, models and profit projections - you need to tell a story that others want to be part of. Tessa coaches entrepreneurs to develop pitches that bring investment.
Kelly Cochran - Speaking & Branding Coach Loud Blonde
“Working with Tessa was a game changer for my TEDx journey. Tessa saw the throughline in my story before I did, and she pushed me to craft an idea worth spreading that felt powerful and aligned. If you want a coach who knows how to turn your expertise into a compelling TEDx talk, she’s the one.”
Sky Barsch - CEO VTDigger
“Tessa helped me prepare and deliver remarks for a special professional event on a tight timeline. She has tremendous expertise in the mechanics of public speaking, and is skilled at putting you at ease”
Lindsey Lerner - Creator of Field Notes from the Work (and the Wild)
“I don’t say this lightly: working with Tessa Rawson changed everything about my TEDx process. If you’re dreaming of giving a TEDx talk, start with her. It’ll save you months of guessing and probably your sanity, too.”
Elisabeth Swan - Speaker, Author, Leadership consultant
“Tessa listens at a different level- her questions are precise, clarifying and often uncover insights you didn’t realize were there. She has a real skill for translating conversation into clear, structured notes that are immediately usable. And just as important, she’s a pleasure to work with! If you’re shaping a TEDx talk or refining a big idea, Tessa brings the kind of clarity and rigor that moves things forward quickly.”
