The xChange Development eGuide
Find Community. Drive Impact
Rooted in TED’s global mission and created by TEDxChicago, the xChange Development eGuide helps turn bold ideas into real-world momentum, long after the talks are over.
This professional development tool is grounded in TED’s values of discovery, empowered community, and connection. Whether you’re leading a team, developing future leaders, or reflecting on your own growth, the eGuide gives you the structure and space to go deeper, with guided prompts, conversation starters, and insights designed to inspire action. It is grounded with TED and TEDx Talks and the unique perspectives and expertise of the TEDx community.
TEDx events are powerful moments, but without action, inspiration fades. The eGuide ensures the ideas that spark change don’t stop at the stage. Use it to activate your team, reflect with intention, and bring TEDxChicago into your everyday work.
Only available for Tiers 2 and 3
