🎙️ Find Your Leadership Confidence Podcast – Episode Description

What if the stage—whether physical or digital—could become one of your most powerful leadership and business tools?

In this episode of the Find Your Leadership Confidence Podcast, host Vicki Noethling sits down with international speaker, speaker trainer, and personal mentor Marianne Hickman to explore the real power behind Physical Stages vs. Digital Stages—and how leaders, entrepreneurs, and experts can leverage both to amplify their message and create meaningful impact.

Marianne has graced more than 2,000 stages worldwide, but her journey didn’t start there. From being a single mom on food stamps to building a thriving speaking business with her husband while raising six children, Marianne knows firsthand how owning your message—and your stage—can change everything. Today, she helps industry experts monetize their message, deliver unforgettable presentations, and turn speaking opportunities into measurable results.

In this candid and practical conversation, Marianne shares what most speakers get wrong, why stages are such a powerful catalyst for growth, and how to move from simply “giving a talk” to creating real momentum, influence, and income.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How Marianne’s personal journey shaped her mission and message
The biggest mistakes speakers make when trying to grow their business from the stage
Why both physical and digital stages are essential in today’s leadership landscape
What it really takes to book your first speaking opportunity
