A MESSAGE FROM HOLLEY KHOLI-MURCHISON
Hey, I’m Holley M. Kholi-Murchison. You can call me Holley or H for short. I live by a really simple code: Choose love. Be light.
As a social practice artist, learning & talent development strategist, and creative consigliere, I dream up content, experiences, products, and spaces that inspire and equip creators like you to:
- Uncover, cultivate, and embrace their gifts, talents, and purpose
- Confidently articulate and understand who they are, what they do, and why it’s valuable, and
- Ideate and champion culturally responsive ideas and solutions that shape equitable futures
While it's been a winding road, I've had the privilege of making art I'm incredibly proud of, coaching thousands of leaders to honor their multitudes, collaborating with brilliant, kind teams, advising and partnering with some of my favorite companies, and speaking & teaching in 16 countries.
I am deeply grateful that I've been able to weave a 15-year career doing what I love. And in my new Skillshare Originals class, I'm excited to show you how to identify your unique skills and strengths and use them to shape the career of your dreams as well.

I 100% agree. If you start your biz from the very beginning with financial goals, time goals and boundaries to refrain from burnout...that's a solid foundation to begin your biz with!

[@Rosegold.energy]

Such intelligence and eloquence she has! I finally achieved my 10 year goal and I am very successful in my business, and I can’t even celebrate or feel appreciation because I’m so burned out. I’m the manager and all the employees at the same time, and I feel like I’ve been working my ass off for the manager who never gives proper recognition. All the time off in the world doesn’t solve how I feel so I’m trying to return to a more natural flow in my systems
