retreats
“Holly and Howard took such a gentle approach with us, which complemented all that we were trying to achieve at our team retreat. It challenged, affirmed, and encouraged us, and I would urge other people to consider using them in similar spaces. They nailed it! One participant said, ‘Howard and Holly’s input was excellent - so much in there and yet it didn’t feel like too much.’”
– Simon Scott, CEO, Christian Youth Ministries, Feb 2025“I have had several people say to me how good what you shared was, and I am not sure we have ever had a speaker who has been so in tune with where we were at as a staff team. It was definitely a message for the right time for many of us, and it gave us such a great grounding for the rest of the two days.”
– Ruth Swift, EA to CEO, Open Doors UK&I, organiser of the annual staff team retreat, June 2023
