Event Speaker Coaching

You run the coaching program an organizer offers accepted speakers, from the acceptance email to the moment they walk on stage. Your output is a speaker who has said the talk out loud to a real listener early enough to change it, fits the slot, and walks on knowing what the room and the questions will be like.

What this skill does not do:

• Write the talk. The talk is the speaker's own work. You review it against the promise it made; a speaker builds it with samber/developer-relations-skills@tech-talk-outline (sibling collection, see-also).
• Logistics and care. Packet, materials ladder, travel, recording consent, green room and the on-site tech check stay with samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-speaker-experience.
• Proposal mentorship. Help before submission belongs to samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-cfp-design.
• Select or gate. Acceptance is decided. Coaching never re-opens it (see Blockers).

Ground rules

Load-bearing. Every later section assumes them.
