speaker Summary

If your organization is ready to break outdated patterns, activate self-led leadership, and help people confidently navigate uncertainty, Judi Holler is the keynote speaker to make it happen. Her message isn’t about motivation—it’s about momentum. Through the fusion of self-led self-expression and strategic adaptability, Judi empowers leaders, teams, and high performers to take bold, aligned action—even when the path ahead isn’t clear.

Because the truth? The organizations that thrive aren’t the ones with the best strategies—they’re the ones with the most adaptable, self-led, and expressive people.

Imagine what your organization could achieve if every individual contributor learned how to break patterns, trust their timing, and move with confidence.

Judi will raise the frequency in the room, shift perspectives, and equip your people with the tools to return to work activated, engaged, and ready to lead themselves forward.

With 25 years of experience breaking patterns and defying expectations—first as an executive in meetings and events, and now as a sought-after keynote speaker and bestselling author—Judi Holler brings a unique blend of business acumen, improv mastery, and bold self-leadership.

Her high-energy, transformative keynotes have earned praise from Forbes and Success Magazine, attracting powerhouse clients like Four Seasons, T-Mobile, Ford Motor Company, and Marriott.

As the bestselling author of Fear Is My Homeboy®, Judi taught audiences how to stop letting fear call the shots and start leading with confidence. Now, with her forthcoming book, Be. The. Verb., releasing Fall 2025, she takes that message even further—showing leaders, teams, and high performers how to break patterns, trust their timing, and move with unstoppable momentum.

Judi’s keynotes don’t just inspire—they ignite movement, drive engagement, and deliver results long after the event ends. Get ready to HOLLA at a whole new level of leadership and impact.

SIGNATURE Motivational KEYNOTE

BE THE VERB™: NAVIGATE UNCERTAINTY WITH CONFIDENCE

If you want to go somewhere new, you have to move.

Plans, strategies, and goals are just nouns until you verb them into action. Leadership today isn’t about waiting for clarity—it’s about confidently navigating uncertainty and creating momentum, even when the path ahead isn’t clear.

That’s where self-led self-expression comes in.

✅ Self-leadership is the verb—the ability to break patterns, own decisions, and move forward with self-certainty.
✅ Self-expression is the BE—the confidence, authenticity, and presence that make you a magnet for trust, influence, and results.

But here’s the challenge: Self-expression without direction creates chaos. Structure without expression feels like a cage.

That’s why I created the HOLLA Model—a framework that teaches leaders and teams how to align organizational accountability with individual authenticity. Because when people feel seen, trusted, and self-led, they show up with more engagement, creativity, and courageous action.

Attendees will leave with the tools to:
1. Confidently navigate uncertainty and take action—even without all the answers.
2. Break unproductive patterns that limit growth, creativity, and decision-making.
3. Own their unique presence & influence to build trust and connection.
4. Develop self-led self-expression—balancing authenticity with accountability.
5. Create unstoppable momentum through aligned action and self-certainty.

The result? A team that isn’t just inspired—but activated. A culture that doesn’t just talk about adaptability—it moves with it.
