Holly Ransom’s Speech Topics

My Year of Fear
For 365 days, Holly did one thing she was afraid of without fail. Learn from an Ironwoman, CEO, and youngest director of an Australian Rules Football Club. Empower your teams to expand their courage zone, hone their risk appetite, and reframe fear for greater business success. As Gandhi put it, let’s teach your people to do what they can, with what they have, from where they are—starting today.

Inclusive Leadership Starts Within
Only when we journey inwardly to understand and accept our own ‘otherness’ can we tap into the power of ‘others.’ Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the heart of Holly’s leadership journey as an LGBTQI CEO, Chair of Pride Cup Australia, and advocate for social justice and empowerment. Holly will bring the audience on a holistic voyage within themselves and discover what it means to lead without prejudice.
