Holly Dowling is my dear friend, a highly sought-after award-winning global keynote speaker, an inspirational thought leader, and the founder of the “Extraordinary Leader” program. Everyone went through a challenging year during the pandemic and had to make significant changes. Like many others, Holly went utterly virtual, and it was a total shift.
