About Judi Holler

I’m a USA TODAY bestselling author and pro speaker with over a decade of experience on stage, on a mission to bring soul back to work and strengthen humanity in a digital world. My work draws on the experimental principles of the arts and translates them into practical leadership tools for today’s workplace — where uncertainty is constant, attention is fragmented, and hesitation slows performance.With 15 years of corporate leadership experience and professional improv training from The Second City, I fuse business strategy with the arts to deliver keynote experiences that activate people to move, adapt, and lead in real time.Audiences leave with:• Higher engagement and stronger morale• Faster, more confident decision-making• Greater adaptability in the face of change• Deeper ownership and accountability• More creative problem-solving• Stronger retention because people feel alive in their workAt the core of everything I do is one intention: To leave people, teams, and rooms braver than I found them.When I\'m not on stage, I\'m in the laboratory of life—experimenting with my golf game, chasing the perfect Cadillac margarita, building the HOLLAverse (a gutsy world for wildly dope souls), and writing bars that usually turn into poetry. I\'m a lifelong student of self-discovery, a die-hard fan of 90s hip-hop (because obviously), and a big believer that life works best when treated like a lab. I live in Arizona with my husband, Scott, and our two dogs, Tito and Jamo—who approve all experiments involving snacks. Scottsdale, AZ judiholler.com

   In my debut book, Fear Is My Homeboy, my message is simple and powerful: It\'s time to stop letting fear boss you around so you can start leveling up personally and professionally. This is a book for people who believe that they can do more and deserve more. I help readers shut down self-doubt so they can start taking action. After reading this book, I promise that you will be braver, bolder, and more confident in your own authenticity so that you can shine and also help those around you rise as well!
