What happens when your nervous system is running the show—and the stakes are high?
In this episode of Rooted & Wild, we explore what it really means to stay grounded under pressure with executive coach and leadership consultant Hollie Rottman, a specialist in burnout prevention and transformative leadership development. Hollie supports high-achieving women and leaders navigating intense personal and professional transitions—helping them reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and inner wisdom so they can lead with clarity, grounded authority, and aliveness.
With over 20 years of experience designing leadership programs, building markets, and shaping culture across global financial firms, national health initiatives, and nonprofit boards, Hollie brings a rare depth of real-world leadership insight paired with deeply embodied practice. Her work uniquely integrates somatic intelligence, nervous system regulation, and emotional literacy as core leadership capacities, shaped in large part by her Strozzi Somatics Certification, which distinguishes her body-centered approach to leadership and presence.
In this conversation, we explore:
Hollie holds PCC status with the International Coaching Federation (ICF), is a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), and holds a Master’s in Human Resources Management. She is also certified in The Leadership Circle Profile, fully trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) coaching, and is a certified group facilitator in healing breathwork through the School of Prana in Lisbon.
Through Rottman Consulting, Hollie also co-leads pioneering work on generative conflict with her partner, Jim Rottman—helping teams move beyond reactivity to cultivate deeper trust, alignment, and collective resilience in service of the world’s most meaningful challenges.
This episode is a grounded, practical, and deeply human exploration of how to regulate, reset, and lead with stability when life applies real pressure.
