“Only as high as I reach can I grow; only as far as I seek can I go.
Only as deep as I look can I see; only as much as I dream can I be.” ~ Karen Ravn
Holly McCann
Whole Systems Visionary
I've made the rounds in nearly all areas of business and leadership, spanning three careers: in the corporate world as a lawyer and executive; in the entrepreneurial and small business worlds as the owner of two retail stationery boutiques; and in the information marketing world as a solopreneur and leadership coach.
It's clear to me that I came in to deeply understand leadership from many angles ~ and to transform what it means to be a leader, from the inside out. How can we shift the orientation from seeking power outside of ourselves to being sourced in our own inner power, connected and aligned with the regenerative force of nature? For me, that looks like a world in Sovereign Unity ~ leading from a place of wholeness, abundance, and integration with ourselves, each other and the planet {aka mutual thriving}.
I love exploring the outer bounds of what is possible when we work together within and across organizations, operating in synergy rather than silos. And I am beyond thrilled to now be taking all that I've experienced through this amazing journey, delighting in my "work" as a whole systems visionary to co-create with heart-centered, impact-driven leaders like you as we leverage the infinite potential of business as a force for good.
I also love exploring this magnificent planet through international travel, hiking, paddle boarding, and stargazing ~ tuning in to the ancient wisdom and sacred mythos of people and land.

What they're saying...
Jane Boatman Geller
Creative Director, Boatman Group
Creative. Innovative. Leader... Just a few words that best describe Holly. It was my good fortune to partner with Holly as one of our retailers ~ one of the few who approached our volatile market with creative ideas to address some of the biggest issues. Holly is a unique and powerful mix of business and creativity. Those of us fortunate to have worked with her know just how special she is!
Ed Manning
Executive Director, Leadership Asheville
Through several conversations, both in-depth and far-out, it is clear to me that Holly is a forward-thinking, compassionate and effective leader. She has that visionary, risk-taking spirit of an entrepreneur and is grounded in a wealth of experience from her time as a corporate executive and from running her own business. She has consistently focused on her own growth while helping to support the growth of others.
Mark Smith
Co-founder & President, Envelopments, Inc.
Holly has been a customer, and a comrade in our industry. Getting to know her over the years has come with many surprises ... all positive. Holly has skills, knowledge and passion she is able to apply in any situation. Her presence of mind is fluid and able to stretch to meet the challenges presented. Many times the challenges were not even obvious until Holly dug in to determine what they were. This fierce focus mixed with a wide peripheral vision enables her to apply a synergistic design solutions approach to getting things done.
Heidi Campbell
Owner, Stationery Loft
I should've started working with Holly ages before I did. WOW! My revenues doubled in the year of our work. I have grown as a business owner, as a wife, as a mother, as a human being. Additionally, I now have a solid foundation and tools to continue moving all of my successes forward. It should be noted I have an MBA. What I gained from Holly goes far beyond what they teach in graduate school. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
