"The Survivor Way”
Challenges may allow us to step out of our comfort zone and push ourselves above and beyond our own self-limitations. It is how we choose to overcome challenges that make us who we are in life. It is our strength in times of difficulty that prove our character and self worth.
As I share my experience of being on a reality show, I encourage you to think about how you decide to survive on a daily basis. Also, I will encourage you to think about six words to develop your survival skills. With my six simple words, you can take on any challenge with which you are faced.
Adversity is not so much contending with problems as it is learning more about who you really are and what is inside of you.
Join me and explore your true survival skills.
"Lead Simply”
MODEL. CONNECT. INVOLVE.
Leadership is not complex. Leadership at its core, is simple, but not always easy. A simple leadership framework consists of three words:
- model
- connect
- involve
True leadership is not just words, it’s action. We must model the behavior we want to see, connect with the people you lead, and involve them as much as possible.
During this presentation you will identify and discover what you want to see more and less of in your leadership skills to create that special team of people.
“Great leaders don’t tell you what to do, they show you how it’s done.”

"Write Yourself a Note”
At the end of the day, unless we make a conscious effort to bring ourselves back to center and refocus, we begin to lose ourselves. It’s never too late to find purpose.
This presentation offers encouragement, optimism, and a roadmap for self-discovery. You will be inspired to work towards a successful and fulfilling life for yourself.
Discover a simple tool to refocus and reprioritize you. As you “write yourself a note” you will begin to discover if you are where you want to be. You will encourage yourself to find purpose. No matter what stage of life you’re in, we all need purpose.
I’m ready when you are! Being a part of your event would be my honor.

I heard Holly speak for the first time at a Credit Union League Conference in Chicago, Illinois back in 2021. Everything about her message, delivery and teaching style was absolutely captivating and first class! Our credit union hired her to come to Decatur and spend the morning with our entire staff for a training day. Everyone LOVED her and the day was a total success!
Holly Hoffman’s talk at our Staff Development Day was inspiring, uplifting, and fun! Her energy and sincerity can win over any audience. Add to that how easy she is to work with and the time she spent afterwards with our attendees means you have a recipe for extreme success and positive outcomes.
Are you looking for someone to ignite the room with energy, laughter and stories? Holly is your gal! Our organization meets at 7:30am on Friday and as you can image the crowd is normally a little sluggish. After hearing from Holly our attendees bounced out of the room ready to tackle the day!
Holly was not only charismatic, she is real, funny and sincere. Many of our attendees shared that they felt like they had known her for years because she is that relatable and her stories painted a picture.
I was so blessed to watch Holly’s virtual presentation and oh my goodness, it was SPECTACULAR! I already knew what a great presentation Holly gives, but to bring it virtually with such power, personableness, expressiveness and expert delivery without the dynamics of a live audience was absolutely masterful. I felt she was embracing each one of us with caring and authenticity. The background, lighting, sound and DELIVERY was perfect…Holly knocked it out of the park!
Holly nailed it. Audience rated her 4.84 out of 5. She was a delight to work with, incorporated our convention goals and personalized the presentation. She’s low-maintenance and a crowd-pleaser; Holly is an incredible value. Fully self-aware that someone who spent a month on a reality TV show doesn’t automatically have expertise to serve as a life-coach, Holly crafted an interesting and engaging story for fans and non-fans of Survivor, and connected her life lessons to our industry.
Impressive person! Her story of the obstacles she over came in her life and on the CBS show “Survivor” will give you a glimpse of her strong character. A true survivor, a great person and someone you need to know. What a treasure her message is!
We were so excited to have Holly Hoffman as our keynote speaker at our 50th Anniversary Celebration. We knew we had to have someone phenomenal and Holly delivered. Some of our team members were skeptical with a reality TV show personality as our speaker; but Holly’s energy and message of determination woven into her experience on Survivor won the day. She is fantastic; you will not be disappointed.
Holly was everything we asked for and more. Not only did she engage and energize the crowd; she got a standing ovation and connected to all of us with a relatable message. She delivered a laughter-filled keynote address with a powerful message. Her passion and energy got our retreat off to a great start and our event is being called “The Best Ever” by our staff! Thank you again, Holly!
We had the pleasure of working with Holly Hoffman and it was honestly one of the best experiences we have had. Holly was easy to communicate with and was able to present us with information needed to advertise to our community. Holly brought reality, struggle, and strength to our group in her speech. She was able to help us relate to her talk and to find light in struggles. I would recommend working with her any time you have the opportunity she is not someone who just comes in and speaks then leaves she is someone who leaves you feeling like you have made a friend and leaves an impression on your path.
Recently I watched a virtual presentation with Holly Hoffman. I had previously seen her speak in person and was anxious to hear her again as she is such a dynamic speaker! I wasn’t sure if a virtual presentation would be as good but Holly knocked it out of the park! Her story is enticing and keeps the audience intrigued. Virtually she is just as dynamic and I would recommend her uplifting and positive presentation for any age or any group!
Holly’s presentation rocked our conference. She was so inspiring and motivating. I left feeling so good about myself and can’t wait to start living my life and taking chances. She gave me the confidence and extra boost I needed. I will be forever grateful.
Holly was outstanding! She did two breakouts and our keynote, but she stayed through the entire day, listening to our general sessions and then incorporating key elements and tying things into her presentations, making them very relatable to our staff. She brought energy, passion and positivity and delivered a powerful message that everyone truly enjoyed. Holly was an absolute joy to work with.
Holly’s keynote address was the highlight of our Women’s Leadership Conference! Her passion and enthusiasm kept the audience engaged from the moment she began speaking. It was remarkable how she was able to mold her message to speak specifically to our group of law enforcement professionals. Holly’s positive outlook on life and ability to relate the lessons she learned to everyone in the audience was truly amazing. We would have Holly back in a heartbeat to speak.
Run and book Holly today! She was so well received by our staff and in fact, many employees said she was the best presenter they have ever seen. I can’t express how impactful her story is and how she will resonate with everyone. She is truly one of a kind!
Holly was an amazing speaker. Her energy and her story dominated the room. Holly went “above and beyond” to spend time after she spoke to interact with my group. She spent several hours observing our meeting prior to her time on stage, and pulled multiple points of interest from our program and integrated them into her speech. Her engaging personality and her ability to relate to the crowd was the highlight of our meeting. Holly is a true professional and an asset to any meeting.
Holly Hoffman was the talk of our convention! I personally thought she was a fantastic speaker! The make-up of our audience was approximately 20% female and 80% male. I was pleasantly surprised that Holly appealed to everyone. After her presentation I was in the spouse program and the women all shared how much they enjoyed Holly’s presentation. Thursday evening and Friday, when I was able to speak with the entire membership, they were all saying what a great presentation it was. It was obvious Holly touched the entire room. I would wholeheartedly recommend her.
Holly Hoffman was our closing speaker at our Annual Conference for NORM (National Organization of Rheumatology Management). Knowing Holly as our closure, our members stayed to the very end to listen to her journey as a Survivor. Her program brought our conference attendees to their feet for a standing ovation. Her speech motivated our attendees to strive to take a chance to follow your dreams (even when they seem out of reach). At the conclusion of her program, she was surrounded by our members seeking signatures and pictures. I would highly recommend Holly to speak at your conference to motivate your members to be their very best.
I was thrilled to find an opportunity to hear Holly Hoffman speak live during this unprecedented time we are living in. Her optimism, inspiration and realness really came through and her speech was just what I needed personally. Holly’s Survivor story is warm hearted and entertaining. “A negative mind will never give you a positive life“ has become my new mantra. Cannot wait to read Holly‘s latest book “Write Yourself a Note”.
Exceptional, Outstanding, Memorable, Inspiring — are words that easily describe the life lessons that Holly Hoffman brings to your audience. Her lively message resonates with traditional values and a never, never quit attitude. She delivered her A++ performance to a vast and diverse NAIFA National audience and took the extra time to learn about our industry, our culture, and our Mission. It is my honor and without hesitation to recommend her for your next Conference.
On behalf of the Nebraska Bankers Association, thank you for speaking at our Young Bankers of Nebraska Conference. Your message was both inspirational and motivational and so much more than just another story from a reality TV show personality. The comments from the attendees were extremely positive and appreciative of the information shared and the takeaways that you offered by sharing your experiences. I will definitely look for future opportunities where we can have you speak to other groups within our association. Thank you!
Independent Community Banks of ND, the trade association for community bankers in ND, has had the privilege of presenting Holly Hoffman on more than one occasion to our members. Holly has been both a keynote speaker at our annual convention and at our Women in Community Banking Summit. Holly is both effective and inspiring. She is a courageous and animated speaker who uses her own personal story to empower others. Her candid and witty presentation helped insure the success of our event.
Holly is also an amazing person to work with as a planner. Always in touch with you to make sure you have everything you need to make your event successful. She goes above and beyond insuring that you as the meeting planner looks great!
