Anthony Tse: From Shy Introvert to Top 10 TEDx Speaker in the First Half of 2026
Anthony Tse — Founder & Coach, Institute for Greatness
Anthony Tse, Founder and Coach at the Institute for Greatness, career transformation expert, author, and global investor, joins Xraised for his 16th episode to share how he overcame a lifelong fear of public speaking and became a Top 10 TEDx speaker in 2026.
Anthony reflects on the experiences that shaped his speaking journey, from childhood shyness and performing in English as a recent immigrant to gradually building confidence through practice, coaching, and real-world experience. He explains why confidence is built rather than something you need before you begin, and why public speaking can be reframed simply as having a conversation with more people.
He also breaks down the thinking and preparation behind his TEDx talk, "What Death Taught Me About My Career", which surpassed one million views and ranked among the top 10 TEDx talks published globally between January and June 2026. Anthony shares how the title, relatable storytelling, months of preparation, coaching, and delivery all contributed to its reach.
Most importantly, he offers practical advice for anyone who has something valuable to say but is hesitant to step forward: start small, share your ideas, focus on impacting one person, and don't wait to feel confident before you begin.
