Writing & Media
Writing has long been one of Hollyā€™s first loves ~ short-form, long-form, any form ~ as a way to explore ideas and bring thoughts to life. Here, you'll find a selection of her work.
Her perspective is shaped by a career as a CIA operations officer and leadership coach, more than two decades coaching teen athletes, and raising three children of her own.
Holly also contributes to publications and appears regularly on podcasts in conversations on leadership, identity, human connection, and high performance.
