Keynote Speaker
Dr. Holloway delivers research-informed keynotes that help healthcare systems, public-health, aging-services, mental health, case managers, and community organizations turn complex human challenges into practical action. His presentations explore the connections among Social Determinants of Health, healthy aging, workforce resilience, social connection, and cross-cultural and cross-generational communication to give audiences tools they can apply beyond the event itself.
Drawing from his experience in geriatric education, community-based research, public service, and the development of Tellegacy, Dr. Holloway combines evidence with data, storytelling, reflection, and real-world implementation lessons. His approach helps professionals examine what do, and connect it to how communication, trust, belonging, and community conditions influence the people they serve and the teams they work alongside.
From healthcare associations and universities to professional conferences and community organizations, Dr. Holloway’s goal is consistent: to help audiences leave with a clearer understanding of what matters, practical next steps they can use immediately, and a renewed commitment to creating environments where people feel seen, heard, valued, and connected.

Testimonials
“Your expertise and experience in the field are evident, and your ability to connect with the audience was truly inspiring. Your examples and anecdotes helped to make complex concepts more relatable and understandable. Your presentation leaves an impact on our whole state and will benefit the communities we serve for many years to come!”
“Dr. Holloway did a tremendous job presenting to our faculty, and we have invited him back to help facilitate a Social Care-focused activity!”
“The students loved, loved the legacy project–like so much. And when I read some of their reflections, I cried. It was really beautiful, and I’m so happy that you contacted me (and let me talk your ear off since I was just back from Vietnam). I hope we can continue this project moving forward.”
“I had expected a discussion on becoming more aware of the social care in others. Instead, your model comes from a point where it includes and binds us together as human beings and I have believed for a long time that we forget this in today’s society.”
“It was a new perspective in looking at social care and I really liked it. [It] forces you to really look at yourself and your identities and puts it back on you to make the changes personally so you can help make external changes.”
“We loved the presentation! Dr. Holloway is so fun to listen to and the passion that he has is palpable. We are very excited to have him again!”
“Dr. Holloway did a fantastic job in his presentation on generational programs and topics for older adults. It covered several of the 4Ms and the competencies that providers should be aware of in working with caregivers.”
“Well received. Loved the way you presented this in a politically neutral fashion .”
“We truly appreciate Dr. Holloway joining and presenting for Nebraska GWEP’s Geriatrics Case Conference ECHO!! Attendees were truly appreciative for his presentation and engaging attendees to identify opportunities to reduce loneliness and social isolation for patients. Thank you!.”
“You are fresh air! Thought provoking vs. instructional. I hope to have access to the power point you used today, and hope that you may have a book published! Now I am going to see if I can find your art work online.”
