TEDx talks. DatAfterwork evenings. The IIBA Annual Congress. The TGP innovation days. Four very different stages. Same conviction: preparation changes everything.
Conferences and internal events tend to assume that speakers will figure out delivery on their own. They usually do not. Some default to the structure of a research paper (context, theory, project, results, conclusion). Some default to a marketing pitch. Most underuse their opportunity and yet go over time. I have coached on very different kinds of stages: TEDx red dots, Data’Talks, business analysis congresses, corporate innovation days... The audiences look different. The register looks different. The expected codes are different. The work underneath is the same: one clear idea, a tight structure, a delivery that holds the room.
Most subject-matter experts, when left alone, build their talk the way they would write the paper. The audience disengages within the first four minutes. The talk gets remembered as ‘interesting’, yet the next day, nothing changes. The coaching arc is what closes that gap. And the arc adapts to the format. From multiple one-on-one coaching sessions, to a haybrid method combining online and off-line sessions, to a collective sequence of masterclasses for all the speakers at a congress. The method is the same. The shape is not.
Coaching TEDx speakers since 2016, each arc covers idea and message, script and narrative, delivery, plus event-day warm-up. Every coached talk is on YouTube.
Coaching for the Data'Talk speakers: fifteen-minute format and a peer audience of fifty senior data professionals. 2–3 sessions per speaker: more focused, but as impactful as TEDx.
Twelve selected speakers coached through two collective two-hour masterclasses. Focus: message clarity, structure, high-impact delivery for a peer audience of business analysts.
Five speakers prepared for TPG Innovation Days 2024. Two online individual coaching sessions per speaker. Focus: the core idea, the structure, the on-stage delivery.
