I mentioned the things that worked and I found helpful. I went to every thing I was supposed and I put in the hours to do applications and such. I was far from lazy. I'm not saying it doesn't work I'm saying that the value they provide is not worth the price tag for what you get. The reality is that the spots available for speakers in the TEDx system are limited. If I had it to do all over again I would do the public speaking program over TEDx.

Your implication that I'm the lazy one is rather trite.
