Look, here’s an uncomfortable truth: the world isn’t short on smart ideas. It’s actually drowning in them. Every meeting, brainstorm and Slack thread is full of “great concepts.” Meanwhile only a tiny number of ideas somehow escape the room and take over stages, feeds and conversations around the world. That doesn’t happen by accident. The talks we remember — the ones that spread from TED stages to global audiences — are brutally edited, sharpened and rebuilt until the message is clear enough to survive outside the room. When you only have 18 minutes to be remembered, every sentence suddenly matters.
This conversation pulls back the curtain on how ideas are turned into talks people actually remember. Borna Sor (Satirist, TV Host and CEO of Hahar Productions), Mario Valentić (Professor of Kinesiology, Coach and Actor), Dijana Zorić (Director of the StoryLab storytelling center and Professional Storyteller) and Andrej Hanzir (CEO of HUKI and License Holder of TEDxZagreb) moderated by Tena Žganec (Mentor and Speech Coach), will show you what really happens between the first raw idea and the moment it lands on stage — together with practical insights, a few backstage TEDx stories and probably at least one moment where you realise your favourite presentation could have been 80% shorter. And if by the end you feel slightly more confident calling yourself an “ideas person”… don’t worry. That’s exactly how most world-changing ideas start.
