I'm Brian Holden. I help professionals rewrite the stories, keeping them stuck in productivity mode, so they can build a life of clarity, confidence, and meaningful impact.
For 25+ years, I climbed the corporate ladder by mastering execution and becoming the person everyone relied on. I launched two 7-figure businesses and built a global Customer Success organization from the ground up, supporting $400M in ARR. By all external measures, I was successful. But I was living someone else's version of success.
I was fluent in the story: "Work harder. Be more productive. Climb the next rung." The more I achieved within that script, the more trapped I felt. Productive but not purposeful. Successful but not satisfied.
The turning point came when I realized I wasn’t stuck because I lacked skill. I was stuck because I was following a script that was never mine. Shifting from "How can I be more productive?" to "What story am I living, and is it even mine?" changed everything.
Now, I help high performers align external success with internal fulfillment. Sustainable achievement isn’t about better habits. It’s about having the courage to question the stories shaping your choices—and then rewriting them.
My work is grounded in lived experience. I know what it’s like to optimize everything except what matters, and how to rebuild your relationship with success from the inside out.
Through small shifts, intentional experiments, and accountability, rewriting your story isn’t just possible. It’s inevitable.
