What is the experience you are creating for your speakers from story development to the moment they step on stage?

The event content and speaker training teams at Google Cloud put deep intention, precision, and touch of magic into their speaker training process to enable speakers to shine and deliver the highest quality content to the audience.

A speaker's stage presence and content delivery is directly correlated with how they feel and are showing up in the final moments before stepping on stage. Mark Ferrone, Head of Event Content at Google shares, “some people aren’t spending time on the last mile - the final 5 minutes before a speaker steps out on stage”. 

In this speaker training series, Mark and Allison will dive into their approach on: 

  • Collaborating with speakers on story development 
  • Coaching stage presence and body language 
  • Developing concise, memorable moments from speakers 
  • Putting each speaker in best frame of mind during the last mile
