Liz Dimmock, CEO, Moving Ahead
“Holiday is incredible, inimitable, insightful and truly progressive. She brings a fresh realism, cuts through the noise, and gets to the work with deep practicality. Holiday’s deep understanding, intuition and knowledge of people, behaviour and systems has enabled us an organisation to shift our culture profoundly. My personal work with Holiday has given me insight, learning and development unlike any other I’ve experienced before (and I've experienced a lot in my 20+ year career!). I feel seen and deeply understood.”

"Holiday has a way of turning questions into doorways. She gets people to pull up and see more. And on top of that, she’s a joy to collaborate with–such a beautiful heart and mind."
Eilis O'Donnell, Assistant Director of Operations, Into University
"Holiday blends curiosity, knowledge and insight to create a space for learning and exploration. I continue to see the impact of working with her - we still talk about it and the conversations that it opened up. Holiday helped us move into a braver space. Working with Holiday was a joy which I would highly recommend."
Jeyda Heselton, CEO, Fettle
"Throughout the time I worked with Holiday, I was always impressed with how she could probe and listen to my situation and distill it into something tangible to work on. She quickly understood where the issues were and thought of exercises or frameworks to apply, either to help solve the problem or to shift my mindset. I’ve done many different training courses designed to improve my skills, but none has been as effective as working with Holiday for creating lasting change. "
Shayna Nagle, Director of People & Development at freuds
"Holiday hosted an incredibly eye opening, agency wide talk about understanding race and racism at a very crucial time. The feedback from staff was exceptional. Her advice and guidance on how to navigate this important period was both impactful and thought provoking - her words simply resonated across the agency. "
Liz Ward, Alumni Relationship & Marketing Manager, Windsor Leadership
"You clearly captured the attention of the audience with your humble, honest, brave and empassioned insights, and provided superb food for thought. Thank you for giving so freely of yourself and supporting us so beautifully. We thoroughly look forward to hearing more from you going forwards."
Jess Kemple, Client Partner, Moving Ahead
"A massive thank you for your keynote session this morning. I got so much out of it, and it was so nice to see the group really engaging and commenting all throughout your session. They clearly loved it too and gave them a lot of food for thought. Our exec doesn’t normally stay for the whole event, but she said as soon as you started talking, she stopped doing emails as was so engaged by you.”
Jools Skeet, Writer - coaching client
"Working with Holiday has been the single most beautiful gift I have given myself. Holiday is quite literally a gem! She will provide the perfect environment for you to grow and you will feel empowered, through her brilliant guidance, to continue your journey once you have parted ways. And she leaves within you a sense that you are not alone, that even though there might be mountains to climb and cliffs to jump off - you are supported and held. Thank you Holiday for everything. For creating a space where I felt I could be myself."
Laura Jane Williams, Author - coaching client
"Working with Holiday was like being guided by my wisest, most understanding friend. Se has such a way of holding space for worries, insecurities, ponderings and musings.I found myself able to access thoughts and feelings that were holding me back without judging myself: her questions and prompts are thoughtful, she truly listens, and I spent the weeks in between her sessions telling everyone I knew how she'd helped me to unblock something here, or clarify something for myself there. It was like she switched on the lights for me so I could actually see. She holds you accountable to yourself, too, but gently so. I just adore her! What she did for me in three months would have taken a lifetime to understand and implement on my own.”
Glyn Fussell, Broadcaster and Founder Sink the Pink, East Creative and Mightly Hoopla
"Holiday is one in a million, she has a gift to transform how you work by just bringing out your best! Her attention to personal and professional growth are unrivalled and I can’t recommend her enough!”
