The Power of Self-Permission | Hollis Rohrer | TEDxISU
Who truly has a say in what is possible for our lives? As children, we learn allowable parameters from the adults around us, but as we grow older, we might find ourselves still clinging to ideas about ourselves that no longer ring true. Self-permission is a power gate that opens us up to what we're really made of, and allows us to create our own way forward into a life worth living and celebrating. Hollis Rohrer is the host of the popular Open That Door podcast, started in 2024 to help people step into a life and livelihood they love. As a speaker, author, coach/consultant, and new thought leader, Hollis guides clients, businesses, and audiences to find their way forward by meeting them where they’re at. Her unique blend of authenticity, honesty, clarity, and compassion—and her deep belief that people already have the tools to overcome challenges—serve to empower others to realize their capacity to take action and change their lives. As a former CEO, successful entrepreneur, and retired actress, Hollis brings relatability and presence to the intersection of business acumen and leadership. She helps those she works with learn how to drop the façade and posturing of success and instead embrace the tremendous power that comes from showing up exactly as they are, vulnerable, capable, and ready.
