THE ART OF SELF-EXPRESSIONISM™: Unleashing Creative Leaders for a New Era of Work

Judi Holler delivering a keynote on self-expression and creativity

Welcome to the future of leadership—where self-expression is the strategy and intuition is the teacher. In this high-energy keynote, Judi introduces Self-Expressionism™—a bold, soul-first philosophy that flips the script on outdated leadership models. Instead of starting with skills, this talk starts with self. Because it doesn’t matter how good the strategy is—if it’s not aligned, people won’t stay with it, and it won’t stay with them.

Through storytelling, original frameworks, and improv-fueled insight, Judi helps audiences tap into the self-awareness that drives innovation, collaboration, and results that stick.
