The talk that inspired ShinyMe — on why so many talented people feel stuck, and what actually unlocks them.
About this talk
Better questions,not moreframeworks.
Holly speaks about the patterns she saw in thousands of coaching conversations — the way talented, motivated people talk themselves out of their own potential by measuring their worth against the wrong things.
ShinyMe grew out of the methodology she developed to help people find clarity — not by adding more frameworks, but by asking better questions.
