“What HDS did for Cedar Crest was to help our leadership team develop and then truly focus on the one or two goals that had the most ability to move the College forward. We have been relentless in executing on the process framed for us by HDS and one of the staggering results has been multi-million dollar surpluses each of the last two years. We are not a for-profit institution, but surpluses have allowed us to invest in our endowment, infrastructure, faculty and staff, and our students in ways that we had not been able to before. The work with HDS has certainly been a part of the reason that people now describe Cedar Crest as a college on the move.”

President, Cedar Crest College

“I received instructions from Holly at a Highly Effective CRA course. She is phenomenal and very professional! Holly possesses a wealth of knowledge in the topic areas and delivers the message in a way that is not pretentious but is very wholehearted and wholesome. She is an effective speaker because she utilizes real life experiences to demonstrate that the skill sets in question are not just theory-based but practical and achievable.”
