The leading global fintech company, Stripe, hosts a series of high-profile, customer-facing events spanning six international cities – London, Paris, Berlin, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo. These events attract thousands of attendees, including business owners, developers and senior business leaders at the forefront of digital commerce. Since Stripe staff members are the speakers at these events, Stripe needed a training provider that could:
• Develop their speakers’ public speaking skills and impact on stage.
• Provide a standardised framework for assessing speaker performance, aligned with a bespoke stagecraft rubric developed by Stripe.
• Ensure a consistent approach to training delivery and feedback across all regions, so every speaker benefited from the same high-quality coaching experience.
• Help build a growing pool of trained speakers in each region who could also support other major Stripe events.
Fearless, with its network of expert trainers across the globe, was perfectly positioned to deliver this international training programme. Over 50 Stripe speakers received training in multiple countries - including the UK, France, Germany, Singapore, Japan, and Australia, using a blended approach:
• Group workshops to build core public speaking and stagecraft skills, including confidence, delivery style, gravitas, and stage presence.
• 1-to-1 coaching for personalised feedback.
• Onsite rehearsal support at customer events, providing critical feedback and boosting speaker confidence ahead of presentations.
Every session followed the same rigorous methodology and bespoke stagecraft rubric, ensuring consistent quality across regions while tailoring delivery to local cultural contexts.
