About
Great events don't just inspire people. They change what people do next.
I'm David Holloway, a keynote speaker, performance strategist, and 3rd Generation World Champion. My journey from overlooked college walk-on to helping the Arizona Cardinals reach Super Bowl XLIII gave me firsthand insight into what separates talented teams from those that consistently perform at the highest level.
But championship stories alone don't improve performance. What matters is turning those lessons into actions people can use.
Through keynotes, leadership workshops, and team-building experiences, I help organizations:
• Create clarity around direction, priorities, and expectations.
• Strengthen alignment so everyone understands what success requires.
• Build high-performing cultures through clear standards, shared identity, and consistent accountability.
• Improve execution by turning insights into practical actions.
I've worked with organizations including PepsiCo, Xerox, Caterpillar, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Yelp, Century 21, and Biogen.
My approach combines firsthand championship experience with practical leadership frameworks - not just stories that motivate an audience for an hour.
The goal is simple: your people leave thinking more clearly, making better decisions, and knowing what to do next.
If that's what you want for your next event, let's connect.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing depends on the event format, location, audience, and level of customization. I offer keynotes, leadership workshops, and team-building experiences.
Once I understand your goals and budget, I can recommend the right approach and provide a clear quote.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start by learning about your audience, event goals, and the challenges your organization wants to address. Then we select the right keynote or workshop and tailor it to your needs.
My focus is simple: deliver an engaging experience that gives people practical tools they can use long after the event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a graduate of the University of Maryland and a 3rd Generation World Champion. Beyond my formal education, I've invested in hundreds of leadership boot camps, personal development seminars, courses, and masterminds, including work with Genius Network.
As a former NFL player who helped the Arizona Cardinals reach Super Bowl XLIII, I combine firsthand experience in championship environments with years of continued learning to help leaders build clarity, stronger teams, and lasting performance.
