We are not your usual public speaking or presentation training company. Own The Room’s communication skills training workshop experiences takes your presentation, public speaking and executive presence to a whole new level. The learning approach is non-traditional, highly interactive and, yes, fun. It’s definitely not a lecture!  You’ll learn impactful skills you can apply instantly and you will gain the confidence and skills to “own the room.”

We hold public events regularly to introduce individuals & teams to our training style, but onsite training and development, specific to our client's needs, is the largest part of what we do. Our training is the fastest growing globally – companies like Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, Siemens (and many more) are using our methodology to allow their executives to quickly become excellent communicators and presenters.

Own The Room has worked with over 100 companies in 75 countries and 7 languages to train leaders, and team members to be more effective communicators and drive organizational efficiency and culture.


How We Are Different:

While the idea of some of the skills we teach may be learnable elsewhere, our unique approach is what makes the difference. Through our team of highly experienced certified Coaches, we engage participants in an interactive, fun and non-traditional experience which not only makes the learning stick more quickly but at the same time works as a powerful way to deliver team-building, empowerment and organizational culture benefits.

Participants come away with not only skills to be more effective communicators but a renewed sense of self-confidence, self-awareness and intentionality. When spread across an organization this has been seen to drive an incredible common sense of purpose and improved performance.

We use technology such as video to have participants see themselves and others grow, improve and develop a culture of comfort with healthy feedback. While the technology is not unique, the way in which we leverage it in combination with our techniques and methods for improving is. In addition, we do not display any lengthy slide shows but rather have participants on their feet, laughing and interacting from the very beginning. This has been proven scientifically as a key way to improve both learning speed and retention.

OTR offers everyone the most suitable solution, from the standard course to customized programs, at your location. Our programs are designed for employees at all levels from junior employees to C-Suite executives. OTR has the resources, expertise and commitment to execute a total training delivery solution to any client of any size, located anywhere in the world.

Company History:

Bill and Maria Hoogterp started corporate trainings in 2002. Blue Planet Training, LLC was born out of Bill’s 20 years as a public speaker and passion, with lessons learned from other sectors and life experiences, to help others develop this skill which was growing in training world.

The demand for a course dedicated to presentations was the motivation behind the company’s trademarked Own the Room seminar. Thanks to all of us, it has evolved (OK, mutated) into a hybrid training and experience. The methodology, exercises, and use of technology revitalizes and restructures the perception of speaking in public.

The trainings are based on learning and doing with interaction between amazing coaches and engaged audiences. It focuses on making the participant the star and rotates from a large group in a room, to small group breakouts, to 1:1 sessions, our modules to build upon one another through out the day. Which gives participants tactical and tangible takeaways they can immediately implement and have fun doing it!
