The realism that People Appreciate

Mr. Holloway explains his firm is authentic in its approach, and it brings a touch of realism to the plate that people love. Even though The Holloway Group is a corporation, its services have no feelings of the corporate culture.

The Greatest Achievement

Mr. Holloway jokingly says, “Completing my doctorate was the hardest thing I’ve accomplished but I’m not sure it was my greatest accomplishment.”

He believes his greatest accomplishment till now is leading his family successfully. He adds, “So many people lead companies but fail at leading their families. I’d say that is my greatest accomplishment so far.”

Mr. Holloway explains that preparing various seminars and workshop participants for the ‘real world experience’ is what the T.J. Holloway Group is praised for the most. The firm’s clients love how it discusses and provides sample situations they face every time. The firm helps with practical advice and common solutions to its clients’ frustrations.

Tackling Successes and Failures

Mr. Holloway feels success is happiness. He has learned if the definition of success differs from the definition of happiness, then he/she has to choose one amongst the two. Mr. Holloway defines his success as his happiness. He feels happy when he is successful.

On the other hand, trying to do too much has led him to, quite a bit of failure. Mr. Holloway has now learned that sometimes he has to take rest and give his mind and body a much-needed rest. Mr. Holloway understands how much his wife matters to him. She has full control over Mr. Holloway’s schedule, and when she recognizes burnout, she has the full right to cancel anything that Mr. Holloway has going on.

Leading from the Front

Mr. Holloway believes he is pretty authentic, and he would classify most of the characteristics of the authentic leadership style. He tries to lead from his heart, yet with principles that could provide an opportunity to become successful. He wants everyone to win, and he tries to make that happen.

Future Roadmap

Mr. Holloway further explains that his company has to evolve to keep up with the massive impact, that the coronavirus pandemic has left. As a personal development firm, the Holloway Group has experienced that one can have a successful professional development online. The online training isn’t boring in the Holloway Group either.

The group has been able to, understand that people are busy, and it must talk not only to the leaders but the other roles they possess. Some leaders work as business leaders during the daytime and as parents in the evening. Mr. Holloway and his firm have understood the importance of encouragement to do that job too. He believes the better equipped his clients are as moms/dads, community leaders, or spouses better they are at work.
