Iona Holloway
Coach, Consultant, Keynote Speaker, Trainer
Iona Holloway is a two-time bestselling author of Do The Brave Thing and Ghost: Why Perfect Women Shrink, and a keynote speaker who teaches leaders the courage and storytelling it takes to build trust and win high-pressure rooms. Her keynotes make grown men cry (a story for another time!).
A former All-American athlete, she treats speaking as a sport: practice when it’s easy so you can win when it’s hard. Iona’s approach resonates with organizations that are done with participation ribbons and refuse to lose… and who also enjoy some Scottish humor! She lives in Massachusetts with her family and a cat she’s never held (by mutual agreement).
