Judi Holler is a poet, keynote speaker, USA TODAY bestselling author, and creative entrepreneur on a mission to help people fear less, take action, and unlock their potential through her signature Six-Part H.O.L.L.E.R. Methodology™—a framework for turning fear into courage, action into momentum, and potential into measurable results.

Equal parts boardroom veteran and artistic firestarter, Judi blends 15 years of corporate leadership in the hospitality industry with the improv training she honed at The Second City—infusing business acumen with creativity to build confidence, courage, and resilience that actually stick.

Today, she’s a top keynote speaker for bold brands and modern leaders, delivering electrifying main-stage experiences that fuse business strategy with artistry—and leave audiences inspired to take action.

Her words have reached millions through her bestselling books, podcast, and global speaking clients, including T-Mobile, the Boston Red Sox, the Ritz-Carlton, Bank of America, Edward Jones, and Ford. Judi’s work has been featured in Forbes, Success Magazine, Smart Meetings, Arizona Foothills, and Good Morning Texas (WFAA 8)—earning praise for her fearless blend of creativity, strategy, and raw truth.

Judi is the USA TODAY bestselling author of Holler at Your Dreams, her most personal and daring work yet—a 365-day collection of poetry, prose, and “dangerously inspiring ideas for the wildly dope soul.” Her debut book, Fear Is My Homeboy: How to Slay Doubt, Boss Up, and Succeed on Your Own Terms, became an instant Amazon bestseller, empowering readers to fear less, act braver, and express more.

What sets Judi apart? She doesn’t teach from theory—she lives this. From boardrooms that muted her magic to stages that unleashed it, she’s done the work to reclaim her voice—and now helps others do the same. Her mission is clear: help people feel safe enough to be seen and brave enough to take action. Because courage creates action, and action creates results.

Off stage, you can find her building The HOLLAverse (a community for courageous self-expression), mixing a mean Cadillac margarita, or vibing to 90s hip-hop. She lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, with her husband, Scott, and their two dogs, Jameson and Tito.
