CAPTIVATE AUDIENCES WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT & RELEVANT: IMPROV!

No one knows more about using improv beyond comedic purposes — she’s unqiuely skilled at transforming how teams work together and business culture operates using improv methods.

MOTIVATIONAL AND MEMORABLE

Holly’s background as a celebrated comedy performer and writer with the world-renowned GROUNDLINGS THEATER in LA sets her apart as a motivational speaker. She has performed with notable names like Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy and current cast members of Saturday Night Live.

Holly excels at reading and connecting with her audience. Her ability to adapt and respond in real-time ensures a personalized experience that resonates with every attendee. And her extensive experience performing on stages around the globe makes her a dynamic, popular, and entertaining keynote for audiences of any size.

ADD BREAKOUT SESSIONS FOR DEEPER EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
