Speaker, Trainer & Coach for Mission-Driven Entrepreneurs

Marla Press Bio

Marla isn’t just a speaker—she’s a stage igniter.
As the founder of Speakers on Fire Academy and a master Art of Presence Trainer, Marla transforms the way audiences experience the stage—and the way speakers own it. Her presentations are not lectures. They are live transformations--high-energy, deeply interactive, and always electric.
Marla doesn’t just talk about speaking—she demonstrates what magnetic stage presence looks and feels like, right there in the moment. Whether it’s pulling brave volunteers into the spotlight, engaging the room with high-impact activities, or breaking comfort zones wide open, her sessions are unforgettable masterclasses in connection, confidence, and conversion.
Her mission is clear: to help speakers, coaches, and entrepreneurs stand out from the noise, light up every room they enter, and turn speaking into a powerful client attraction engine.
Event organizers choose Marla when they’re done playing it safe. When they’re tired of the same recycled content. When they want an audience that’s lit up, leveled up, and ready to take action. She delivers practical tools, powerful presence, and real results—no fluff, no filler.
If your event needs more than motivation—if it needs momentum, magic, and massive audience impact—Marla Press is the speaker you book.
