Here’s How I Empower Teams
to Lead with Confidence
Fear isn’t the enemy – it’s your compass.
Hey, I’m Judi Holler. I teach self-led self-expression – a fusion of accountability and authenticity that empowers teams to:
- Move with confidence.
- Adapt with purpose.
- Act decisively.
- Harness their fear.
- Amplify their unique voice.
- Drive results with bold, authentic action.
- Here’s the truth: Success comes to those who show up fully – flaws and all.

BEFORE WE HIT PLAY…
Picture this: It’s 1989. A quirky, overly-extra 12-year-old with sky-high bangs, rocking neon and blasting 90s hip-hop on her boombox, dreams big from her waterbed.
That’s me—Judi Booty Fresh and Fruity.
I grew up in a time that didn’t just allow boldness—it demanded it. In a home with more chaos than calm, I learned to navigate uncertainty with resilience and creativity. Watching my mom clean the homes of people living a life I could only dream of, I discovered something profound: Success isn’t born of privilege—it’s cultivated through ownership and expression.
By owning my story and embracing my extra, I opened doors that seemed locked. I turned fear into fuel, uncertainty into opportunity, and setbacks into setups for growth.
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY:
That same girl, who used her voice to holler at life, is now on a mission to show others how to lead from within. Through the power of self-leadership and self-expression, I’ve untethered myself from toxic environments, financial hardship, and fear-driven doubt.
My goal? To help your team do the same by embracing their authentic selves, leveraging their unique strengths, and leading with courage. This is more than motivation—it’s transformation.
So, let’s HOLLER, shall we?

“At Leadercast one of our most important tasks each year is our selection of keynote speakers. With over 100,000 leaders participanting in our events, the speakers we choose are make or break for us. We look for presenters with three characteristics: a unique perspective, practicable actionable solutions and an unquestionable stage presence. Judi Holler not only fits that bill but was one of our highest rated speakers. She’s a no-brainer choice for your next event.”
Kathleen Stallard
“Judi’s keynote is like a strong cup of coffee and a day at the spa all in one – invigorating to the psyche and refreshing to the soul.”
