Are you ready to land the gig of a lifetime?
Let me help you take your ‘ideas worth spreading’ and turn them into reality on the TEDx stage
Is becoming a TED speaker a big vision board goal of yours?
Maybe you’ve had daydreams of what it would feel like to stand under the lights basking in the applause from a highly respected audience?
But it feels out of reach
You know that you have a big idea, story or message to share that could help the lives of others
But you don’t know if your idea is really a) ‘worth spreading’ or b) if you have the right skills to deliver it. Or maybe it’s c) you have no idea where to start and have even less of an idea how to get noticed amongst the sea of other applicants.
Stop right there!
It was possible for me and my clients
And it’s TOTALLY possible for you.
“So, I was lucky enough to be invited to deliver a TEDx talk yesterday! Something I’ve dreamed about for a long time.
After doing some research, speaker coaches were advising I have at least 3-6 months to prepare….
But I was told I was selected 3 days before the event… whilst in the middle of filming a documentary!
Big shout out to Helen Packham for the coaching session to get me ready in time!”
The TEDx YouTube channel has over 36 million subscribers, giving you a ready made and well respected platform with HUGE reach for your ideas.
Hi, I’m Helen
I’m a verbal communications strategist, podcaster and speaker coach, helping people increase their impact authority and reach through the power of their words.
I spent 15 years in the corporate world helping leaders deliver complex (and often quite dry!) messages in compelling ways to thousands of people.
Along the way I picked up a nifty little tool called storytelling and realised that literally ANYONE, no matter how inexperienced or unconfident, could use it to connect with an audience, build trust and make a big impact.
I’ve been on the journey too.
I spent a good few years hiding due to some life stuff. I lost my voice and vowed never to stand up and speak in front of people again.
After hitting a crunch point and committing to make a change, I gave a TEDx talk at the Brighton Dome, and have since gone on to help people land and deliver their own.
My journey has led to running speaker training programmes, live conferences, workshops, online courses and signature and keynote talks and becoming a TEDx event curator and speaker coach too.
I came across Helen after seeing an excellent training video about how to secure a TEDx Talk.
The application process was proving to be a needle in a haystack type of mission but Helen guided me through it with clear experience and positivity.
In her coaching she gave honest feedback, positive encouragement and enthusiastic alternatives which made the while process more manageable and, more importantly, successful!! I delivered my TEDx at the TEDx Doncaster Positive Disruptor event.
Nikki Alderson – Women’s Leadership and Talent International Coach
“You’ve got hard won experience that you KNOW transforms peoples lives…but you’re just not sure how to actually find those people!
As an entrepreneur you can quickly feel disheartened that you’re not having the impact that you want…and then you meet Helen. Those beautiful nuggets that are just waiting to whisper their way into the ears of your ideal client are coaxed out under her coaching.
She shares stories and wisdom bombs in equal measure and most of all has a burning passion to make you believe in your own storytelling power. I completed her Land and Deliver programme and found it helpful WAY beyond my expectations.
If you have the chance to work with her, grab it!”
“This course helped me to find a talk that will be compelling to event organisers.
It helped me recognise the titles and content had been too woolly before.
The help to structure my pitch was really useful too. I now feel more motivated to seek out events to speak and contact Tedx curators, even if in my case, where my talk has already been rejected.”
Emma Roscoe
Happiness Trainer & Speaker
“I knew Helen was someone I wanted to work with & learn from after hearing her speak at an event, so when Land & Deliver was offered I jumped at the chance.
I learnt so much from the programme and used that to apply for a speaking opportunity I really wanted – and landed it!
Helen’s knowledge, passion &&enthusiasm shines through in all that she does and I’m looking forward to working with her again in the future.”
Helping you become a sought after speaker is totally my jam.

Frequently asked questions
Will Land And Deliver guarantee to land me a TEDx gig?
Whilst I can’t make any promises about guaranteeing you a TEDx gig, I can promise this: The methods I share in this course have proven 100% successful not only in my case but also with others too. I share strategies that are overlooked and that hold the key to really standing out and getting noticed.
Plus you have my mentorship throughout the entire programme, with live Q&A, daily interaction and pitch reviews included. You also get my drag and drop templates for structuring your pitches as an added bonus, and you get the support and accountability of a community of like-minded people all striving towards the same thing! So you won’t be doing this alone!
I’ve applied for TEDx in the past with no success, what can you teach me that is different?
The method I use for applying is called my ‘cut through’ method. This is an overlooked and alternative way of applying for TEDx that has proven very successful in me not only landing a TEDx gig, but securing high profile speakers to speak at my events too. My clients have also used this method to land their own speaking gigs, including TEDx! It’s not your standard front door strategy. So if you are looking for new ways of applying and landing the gig, then this is for you.
How will the course help me hone my message?
There is a module specifically focused on helping you hone your core message. It is a crucial part for the talk shaping process and I take you right through it. You also get my support to help you shape your message throughout the entire programme.
I have no clue how to start looking for a TEDx gig, will the course help with this?
I’ve got you covered! There is module dedicated to outlining what you need to do step by step to apply, including my ‘cut through’ method to get you noticed.
Will the course include how to actually pitch?
Yes! I’ve included my ‘cut through’ method and will also be including some drag and drop pitch templates as a bonus. Every TEDx event is different in terms of their application process, but I’ll be there to support you through the entire 4 weeks to help you tweak your application.
Does it include how to come up with an interesting/TED worthy topic?
Yes! I’ll be including a bonus workshop called ‘how to shape your TED worthy idea.’ More info coming tomorrow! You get this completely free (worth £197) when you enrol onto Land and Deliver. I’ll go through the criteria of a TEDx worthy talk and give detailed examples too.
During our time together your receive coach in your pocket WhatsApp and email support for a period of 1 month (mini) and three months (signature).
How long does each module take?
I’ve created 11 bite sized modules that will only take a short amount of time to watch and implement. This course is all about simple guidelines and action. I will be on hand throughout the 4 weeks to support you through the process with any questions you have.
Do you review the prepared talk?
This course is designed to help you land and deliver your talk through the guided modules. I will be providing feedback on your core message and pitches for sure! If you land the gig, well that’s just awesome, and I will be providing a solution at a very special rate for anyone who is ready to go to the next level and have support in preparing their talk.
After leaving the corporate world I delivered a TEDx talk and went on to run speaker programmes and workshops. I have delivered key note talks, run my own events, am a radio presenter, podcaster and was a TEDx curator and speaker coach. I have also been lucky enough to be mentored by some amazing international speakers.
Will you teach me how to overcome nerves?
Yes! I include a section on how I overcame my nerves by using a very simple and well-known method that works! I will also be on hand (as well as the other awesome people going through the programme) to help you overcome any mindset blocks and give more hints and tips on overcoming nerves.
I am a coach in your pocket through the support period to help keep you accountable and moving so that you achieve your dream goals.

Does this apply to other speaking gigs too?
Yes! Although this programme is specifically focused on landing and delivering a TEDx gig, the principles can be applied to general speaking gigs too.
