The Top 3 Reasons You Should Join Us at Own the Stage Speak-Off

Speaker Training

Marianne leveraged public speaking to expand her reach and influence. She believes that "to spread your ideas, you need to master speaking." At the webinar, you won’t just compete for a spot on a prestigious stage; you’ll gain insights that could transform your business approach without overwhelming your life.

Communication Skills

Warren Buffet argues that enhancing your communication skills can increase your personal or company value by 50%. This event will equip you with powerful communication tools, whether you're addressing a large audience or engaging in one-on-one meetings.

Unparalleled Networking Opportunities

This event promises more opportunities to meet potential partners, customers, mentors, and friends in an expanding network.

Your Opportunity to Shine on Stage!

Own the Stage LIVE is your chance to step onto stage and deliver your 2-minute keynote in front of a live audience.

BECOME THE WINNER OWN THE STAGE SPEAK-OFF 2025!

Welcome to the "Own the Stage Speak-Off," where speakers from all backgrounds come together to showcase their talent, share their message, and compete for the crown for 2025. This competition is your chance to step into the spotlight, inspire an audience, and take your speaking career to new heights.

Earlier this year there were "Virtual Own the Stage Speak-Off" events where speakers from around the country came together and gave their two-minutes keynote presentations in a competition. Each of the finalists from those prior events have earned a spot on stage at this final event of the year.

At this event, there will be one final round. Everyone who wishes to compete will get an opportunity to give a two minute keynote presentation to a small breakout group, after which a vote will take place. After the live event finalists have been determined, every finalist from the current event and the virtual events will take the stage, one will be crowned the winner of Own the Stage Speak-Off 2025!

The overall winner will be crowned the "Own the Stage Speak-Off 2025" winner and get the opportunity to join Marianne on stage throughout next year. They will receive a spot at an international professional retreat that Marianne will host next year, allowing the winner to add "International Speaker" to their resume. The winner will also be invited as a guest on "The Marianne Hickman Show" adding another digital stage to their portfolio.

Your two minute presentation will be judged on the following:

  • Content: Is your message clear, compelling, and relevant to your audience?

  • Delivery: How well do you engage the audience? Are you confident, articulate, and impactful?


  • Creativity: Does your presentation stand out? Are you using innovative approaches to share your message?


  • Audience Connection: How well do you connect with your audience? Are you relatable, inspiring, and memorable?

During your presentation you are welcome to also have a call-to-action, however, this must be for something that is free. Please do not try to pitch any products or services that the audience would need to pay for. Your giveaway can be in exchange for an email address and/or phone number though, so be sure to leverage this stage to gather more leads to grow your business.
