Our Story

FROM A PICKUP TRUCK TO A GLOBAL COMPANY

Rooted in humble beginnings and a passion for public service, Bill and Maria Hoogterp launched Own The Room to help leaders around the world realize their full potential. Since launching, Own The Room has grown exponentially, training nearly 250,000 people, counting 42 coaches and 6 global offices, and partnering with leading clients like Facebook, L’Oreal, and MIT. As we continue to grow, innovate, and evolve, we remain dedicated to our mission to train the world.

1983- Bill Hoogterp, still in his 20s, crisscrossed the country motivating college students to pursue community service. Bill traveled in a Mazda B2000 pickup truck that he appropriately named Nomad; the covered cab had enough room for a twin mattress, a rack for clothes, and a basketball.

1992- After helping to launch a few national volunteer programs, Bill received a grant to explore community organizing in Newark, NJ. There, he created a leadership program for neighborhood leaders, including a segment on communication and public speaking -- the first iteration of our trademarked methodology.
