In this inspiring episode of Breakthrough Conversations with Rhoda & Co., we sit down with Holly Pyatt, founder of Pyatt Consulting, whose career journey proves that leadership isn’t just a role, it’s a calling.
Holly first made her mark as a standout trainer during one of the largest Epic implementations back in 2007–2008. Under pressure and with thousands of moving parts, she learned what true leadership
looks like when the stakes are high. Since then, she’s navigated industries, coached leaders, built high-performing teams, and ultimately launched her own consulting business.
We cover everything from the common pitfalls leaders face to the role emotional intelligence plays in today’s leadership landscape. Holly also shares candid insights about the leap from corporate leader to entrepreneur, what’s been rewarding, what’s been surprising, and what she wishes more women knew before they launch their own ventures.
