I'm a child welfare lawyer who represents adults and children in families in crisis in Texas. Are there any good resources for finding experts who can consult, testify, or treat remotely? Texas resources are tapped out and overwhelmed.

Is TedX worthwhile as a speaker? What are some tips to accepted?

Thank you. I see you're offline right now, but if you happen to see this later, how important is it to have a fully written speech for TEDx? I'm a trial lawyer and former debater and debate coach. Typically, we don't write speeches but develop outlines instead. In an adversarial context, we need to be able to adapt based on our audience and competition. After 30 years as a public speaker, I practice from outlines and rarely memorize more than intro and conclusion. Will this bite me in the ass for TEDx?

Did your parents make you groom your horse when you were 4 years old? Mine made me when I was training in jumping at 6 and the SOB just laughed when I tried to get him to lift his hooves. Part of why I quit, eventually.
