Motivational Speaking

Invite Me to Speak


My love for motivational speaking serves as the guiding force that amplifies the impact of my positive perspective across diverse realms. Whether standing on the podium addressing a captivated audience or engaging in one-on-one conversations, I draw upon my multifaceted experiences in sports, child development, philanthropy, and family to deliver messages that inspire and uplift.

The intertwining themes of giving back, visionary leadership, and the universal language of sports converge into a powerful narrative, reinforcing the importance of resilience and collective empowerment.

Through motivational speaking, I aspire to instill a sense of purpose and determination in others, encouraging them to navigate life's challenges with unwavering optimism and an enduring belief in their potential for greatness. In every word spoken, I aim to catalyze positive change, creating a ripple effect that extends far beyond the confines of individual experiences.

A Few of my Topics

  • With fans aging and many kids not playing sports past the age of 11, professional sports leagues are refocusing their efforts on how to engage with younger audiences.

  • Creating a framework to help non-profit organizations and charities grow and cultivate communities.

  • Embracing sports and learning all that it teaches can connect us to one another, erase boundaries, open doors and create lifelong friendships.

  • Learn the importance of reading, the staggering decline of time spent with a book, and the real difference it makes in a child’s life.

  • How to build and manage a business that prioritizes the vision first while keeping people at the center of it all.

  • How to rewrite your story and embrace new memories as you care for those who cannot do for themselves.

Leading the Way to Give Back

Marnie Schneider was the Chairperson at the 2022 Jewels & Jersey fundraising event for the Ronald McDonald House in Charlotte, NC.  Attendees enjoyed being behind the scenes at the Bank of America Stadium, the home of the Carolina Panthers, where they huddled to "win one for the House" to support families of sick or injured children receiving medical treatment in the Greater Charlotte area. They raised $352,000!

My Mantra

“Keep moving the ball down the field.”

What I am trying to do with my writing and with my storytelling is show that we all have our own stuff to go through, but you just got to grit it out, just keep your foot on the gas, and just move the ball down the field. I speak in a lot of sports metaphors, but what I love about football is that, like life, you get chances, and you are going to get the ball back. If you fumble and the other team gets the ball, there is still a very strong chance in the next 60 minutes, you will get the ball back.
