Affordable. Caring. Trustworthy.
Developing effective leaders who steward
a purpose-driven culture.
Helping Christian organizations develop leaders who serve employees by supporting people, processes, and programs that lead to maximizing human resource value.
Having spent more than three decades as both an HR Manager and business executive, David Holden, creator of ACT Consulting, enjoys developing leaders and engaging employees at all levels by aligning individual and departmental goals with the corporate vision, mission, and values.
At times, Human Resources can be viewed as overly complicated, daunting, and something to avoid. ACT Consulting partners with individuals and companies alike to provide affordable, caring, and trustworthy HR business coaching, all from a biblical perspective that emphasizes people over products.
ACT Consulting’s goal is to empower small Christian businesses, churches, and para-church organizations with affordable, faith-based training in leadership, HR, and personal mentoring. We strive to cultivate effective leaders who foster a purpose-driven culture centered on Kingdom work and loving others.
