Survivor Alumna · Author · Certified Speaking Professional

Holly Hoffman was the last remaining member of the Espada Tribe and the last woman standing on Season 21 of CBS' Survivor Nicaragua. That experience — and the challenges she's faced throughout her life — inspired her to share her message of survival with audiences around the world.

A professional motivational speaker and author of Your Winner Within, Write Yourself a Note, and Three Step Stride, Holly believes that within each of us is an ability to focus our thoughts, emotions, and energy to succeed — if we have the knowledge, tools, and discipline to do so.

A native of South Dakota and graduate of Northern State University, Holly holds the Certified Speaking Professional designation and speaks nationally and internationally to corporations, associations, universities, and women's organizations.
