About
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Marie Robinson
Holly Hoffman was the last remaining member of the Espada Tribe and the last woman standing on Season 21 of CBS’ hit reality show “Survivor Nicaragua”. Through that experience and others throughout her life, Holly was inspired to share her message of survival.
A professional motivational speaker and the author of Your Winner Within and Write Yourself a Note, Holly acknowledges that life is made up of challenges, and we are oftentimes faced with situations that seem insurmountable. But within each of us is an ability to focus our thoughts, emotions, and energy to succeed—if only we have the knowledge, tools, and discipline to do so.
A native of South Dakota, Holly’s writing and speaking not only offer encouragement and optimism but a roadmap for self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment. Readers and audience members alike walk away inspired to light the fire of successful living within themselves.
Today, Holly travels across the country and internationally, speaking to a wide variety of corporations, associations, universities, schools and women’s organizations. Holly inspires her audiences to take opportunities and focus on faith, attitude, determination, confidence, desire and perseverance.

THE SURVIVOR WAY
As we survive life’s challenges, we come face-to-face with fear and uncertainty.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.

Testimonials
5 people have recommended this speaker
“Holly was an outstanding speaker for our spouse program of 500 attendees. She was able to effectively and proactively incorporate our Annual Meeting theme into her message, which was inspiring and insightful. Attendees were personally moved and motivated by her message and performance. She was an unqualified success and we would be lucky to have her again.”
“The presentation Holly shared with our group was Fantastic, Amazing, Sensational, Funny, and hit a home run with all in attendance, at the 35th Annual North Dakota Roughrider Health Conference. I have had the opportunity to work with Holly on two occasions, and her energy and passion is contagious. I have worked with hundred of presenters over the years and there is no-one more flexible than Holly. She tailored the program to our needs and never misses a beat. Hollys message is one that you take back with you to make a difference in your life and others.”
“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.”
“Holly Hoffman delivered a fantastic keynote address to the 150+ women in the audience. She included so many strong messages that resonated with everyone and provided an inspiring message to not let fear hold you back, to believe in yourself and go for it!”
“Thank you Holly for reminding us that we can grow and learn throughout our lives and that it’s never too late to realize how strong and capable and resilient we have the potential to be!”
