Have you ever felt stuck in your professional career? At some level, I think we all have. Sallie is an amazing example of someone who went to law school to be an attorney, had a very successful career as an employment lawyer, but felt called to do something completely different. In today's episode, we talk through listening to your inner voice, being okay with hearing no and gaining the confidence and having the right mindset to pivot in your career.
Sallie Holder, Greenville, SC-native and Founder + CEO of The BRIMM - The Beyond Rock Middle Movement, is a passionate leader who thrives on helping like-minded entrepreneurs realize and ultimately achieve their true potential. Sallie’s expertise does not solely lie in mentoring business owners; her unique background qualifies her as one of the most distinctively decorated business coaches in the southeast.
Prior to founding The BRIMM, a premier business coaching community for female
entrepreneurs, Sallie graduated from Vanderbilt University in Human & Organizational
Development, received a law degree with a specialty in labor and employment law, advised some of the biggest companies in the world during her 10-year law career, and served as the Chief Operating Officer for six different companies. It was in these various roles that Sallie found her true passion for business coaching and felt called to provide the secrets of how larger companies found success.
Dynamic, engaging, and passionate are some of the many ways to describe Sallie as a leader. She has the uncanny ability to uncover the real things holding business owners back, even when they may not be aware of them themselves. She can pinpoint hurdles specific to each client and provide practical training and realistic steps to overcome them. Her unmatched holistic coaching style has fostered a resilient and engaged community of like-minded entrepreneurs that help empower each other.
Throughout her career, Sallie has received various achievements and accolades. In 2016, Sallie was awarded the “Jumpstart Award” for helping the highest number of people successfully launch their business during the fiscal year, and in 2021, she was named one of GSA Business Report’s Women of Influence.
