In this inspiring episode of ABWilson's Heart of the Matter podcast, host Aderonke Bademosi Wilson welcomes Edwards Holliday, a uniquely self-described "Road Scholar," forward-thinking creative, enthusiastic coach and advisor to advisors. Edwards shares his extraordinary life journey marked by alternative learning and a deep commitment to personal and professional growth.

Edwards narrates his unconventional educational path, choosing to travel across the United States for five years instead of following the traditional academic route. Living out of a Chevy van and later exploring Hawaii on a motorcycle, his adventures shaped his perspective and skills uniquely. He explains what being a "Road Scholar" means to him, a metaphor for life-long, experiential learning.

The conversation delves into Edwards' approach to forward-thinking creativity, a key trait that defines his coaching practice. He describes helping clients find their own personal or professional anthem through an interesting tool called the Fascination Advantage System, which blends personality insights with outcome-oriented creativity.

Edwards also reflects on his early career challenges, including buying a leadership development franchise, enduring hard times and how perseverance, faith and daily mantras sustained him. He shares touching stories from his family life, particularly the role of his wife Melba, a fellow coach, and their shared passion for equine-facilitated leadership development.

His client work shines through examples of transformative mediation and relational theory, focusing on creating quality communication and resolving conflicts in high-stakes financial advisory settings. Edwards offers valuable wisdom on integrating appreciation, presence and shared purpose in leadership and team dynamics.

Edwards shares recent personal and professional accomplishments, including leading a groundbreaking equine leadership day for a UBS team and his long-term joy in witnessing the growth and impact of his clients over decades.

The episode closes with reflections on mindfulness, the power of enthusiasm, the importance of high-trust human connection in an AI-driven world, and Edwards’ ongoing journey of writing a book while embracing the continuous evolution of consciousness and leadership.
