Own theStage
You have something to say.
Give people a reason to remember it.
Build a signature speech around your story, experience, and ideas. Work directly with Curtis Ray Hill to shape it, or have him develop and write it for you.
Let’s build your speechGive people a reason to lean in.
You know your story. You know your work. You may have years of experience and more ideas than you know what to do with. The challenge is deciding what belongs in the speech and connecting it in a way your audience can follow. Which story makes the point? What needs more explanation? What can you leave out? What do you want people to understand when you finish?
Own the Stage helps you work through those decisions and turn your material into a complete speech with a clear purpose. Your experience gives you something to say. Let’s shape it into something your audience can use.
Build a speech that sounds like you.
Your story matters. So does the person listening to it.
Together, we connect what you’ve experienced and what you know to the people you want to reach. The goal is a speech that feels true to you while giving your audience a reason to care.
You’ll develop a clear direction for your message, choose the material that supports it, and bring your ideas together into a speech people can understand and remember.
Your speech will be built using the approach I use to develop my own keynotes. Your perspective stays at the center.
Whether you’re preparing your first signature speech or strengthening one you already deliver, this experience focuses on the message you want to bring to the stage.
Two ways to build your speech.
Choose how you want to work with Curtis. Both options are six-week engagements focused on developing your speech. One gives you direct guidance as you build. The other puts the development and writing in Curtis’s hands.
Get your ideas out of your head and into a speech you’re proud to give.
You bring your story, experience, and ideas. Together, we find the message in them and develop a speech that makes that message clear.
In six weekly, one-hour private sessions, you’ll work directly with Curtis to shape your material. You’ll have a place to talk through your ideas, get feedback, and make decisions about what belongs in the speech.
Assignments between sessions give you a clear next step. You’ll keep building instead of reopening the same unfinished outline.
As your speech takes shape, you’ll understand why each part belongs and how it serves your audience.
This is a strong fit if you want to:
- Take an active role in developing your speech.
- Get direct feedback on your stories, ideas, and message.
- Build with structure, guidance, and accountability.
Bring your message to life without taking on all the writing.
You have something meaningful to share. Finding the time to turn it into a complete speech can keep that message waiting longer than it should.
You bring your experiences, ideas, and what you want your audience to take away. Curtis develops and writes your complete speech, keeping your perspective at the center.
You contribute what only you know. Curtis brings it together into a clear, cohesive message with a purpose behind each part.
The result is a complete speech built around your story and ideas, with a clear path for your audience to follow.
This is a strong fit if you want to:
- Have Curtis take the lead on developing and writing your speech.
- Turn your experience into a message without managing every writing decision.
- Stay involved in the substance while handing over the work of shaping it.
