Add the following lines to the layout file (I assume you use lyx 1.1.6fix3):
Preamble
\renewcommand{\speaker}[1]%
{\filbreak
\vspace{4bp}
\hspace{\speakerindent}
\sbox{\currentspeaker}{\uppercase{#1}}
\usebox{\currentspeaker}
}
\rhead{\thepage}
EndPreamble

It already does this (the \uppercase command above), but you don't get a
visual feedback on the LyX screen. You can add the following lines to the
definition of the Speaker layout:
Font
Shape Smallcaps
EndFont
