Your Solutions
At Bold Mine, we help driven leaders and high performers - whether they’re thriving or feeling stuck - break through barriers and unlock their full potential.
I’m Jay Holley. After 28 years leading in high-pressure environments in the Navy, I know what it takes to perform under pressure - and how easy it is to feel stuck despite experience and success.
Most people already have what they need to succeed - but it’s buried beneath doubt, pressure, and patterns that are hard to see on your own. Like a mineshaft full of untapped value, it’s there - but it can be difficult to enter alone.
That’s where coaching comes in. Together, we dig deep, uncover what’s really holding you back, and bring forward the strengths and solutions that are already within you.
Through a simple process - dig deep, break through, and lead boldly - you gain clarity, confidence, and the ability to perform at your best when it matters most.
Staying stuck isn’t just frustrating - it keeps you from becoming the leader you’re capable of being.
The goal is simple: to help you step forward with confidence, lead with purpose, and fully realize your potential.

CLIENTS
What They Say
"Recently I asked Jay to coach me through several professional and personal crossroads. Jay's long career as a U.S. Navy Master Chief, culminating in his role as Brigade Senior Enlisted Advisor (Brigade Master Chief) at the U.S. Naval Academy means he's led teams in some of the most demanding environments imaginable. What makes Jay exceptional as a coach, though, is that he never relies on that résumé to prescribe answers. Instead, he uses it to craft the right questions. Each session felt like an expertly guided conversation in which Jay drew out my own reasoning, surfacing the assumptions and blind spots I hadn't recognized. By the end, the insights and the action plans were unmistakably mine, which made them stick. Jay balances candor with genuine care. He listens deeply, challenges gently but firmly, and offers perspective only after giving me space to think aloud. I left every meeting with sharper clarity about my goals and a renewed confidence in my decision-making process. If you're looking for a coach who leverages elite leadership experience while keeping the spotlight on you and your growth, I cant recommend Jay Holley highly enough." Mike H. - COO at Ironside Capital Group & Co-Founder of Acton Academy Lake Oswego
"I can't recommend Jay highly enough as a leadership coach... Jay truly excels in his role. He's not only remarkably kind and thoughtful but also possesses a unique ability to ask profoundly insightful questions that genuinely encourage deeper reflection. What sets him apart is his authentic care for my success and well-being. He's consistently helped me gain new perspectives, challenging me to look at situations differently and fostering significant personal growth. If you're seeking a leadership coach who combines genuine empathy with expert guidance, Jay Holley is an outstanding choice." Ryan L - VP at ACCO Engineered Systems
