"I was succeeding on paper but struggling as a leader. I could manage tasks, but I wasn't truly connecting with or developing my team.
What made the difference was working with someone who didn't just help me refine leadership tactics. Dr. Ashley took time to understand who I am holistically in terms of my values, strengths, even the experiences that shaped how I show up. That deeper understanding helped me see the kind of leader I actually wanted to be, not just the one I thought I should be.
I now lead with more intention and authenticity. I've built stronger trust with my team, and I have a clearer sense of my leadership identity. If you're looking for more than management tips and if you want someone who will help you understand yourself as deeply as they understand leadership, this is the right fit."

you don’t see this as a serious investment, can’t show up with consistency, aren't receptive to considering feedback, don’t hold yourself accountable to your commitments, are seeking only surface-level change, don’t want to be challenged or learn how to navigate challenges, have no interest in new or different perspectives, want to stay in your comfort zone, and are reluctant to provide honest feedback.
"Leading a startup threw me into constant chaos: pivots, difficult decisions, managing a team through uncertainty. I needed to grow fast, but I didn't know how.
I'll be honest: the coaching pushed me beyond my comfort zone, and I didn't always like it. I was challenged on assumptions I didn't even know I was making. But that discomfort was exactly what I needed. I stopped reacting to every crisis and started leading through it with more clarity and composure.
What made it work was the balance. I was pushed hard, but never without genuine support. The combination of challenge and compassion helped me develop as both an executive and entrepreneur in ways I couldn't have on my own.
If you want someone who will make you comfortable, look elsewhere. If you want someone who will help you grow into the leader your startup actually needs, even when it's uncomfortable, this is it."

Coaching is a process that can be powerful and transformative. Its value is in creating improvement by unlocking potential. Having a coach is a typical component among high-performing individuals.
You might be good at something already and with coaching you could achieve a higher level than on your own. What would a talented athlete be without a coach? Coaching takes you from ordinary to extraordinary, from good to exceptional.
You need a coach if you want to be dedicated to what you do in a personally sustainable way. Coaching opens the door to possibility. Help yourself to the possibility of showing up to be your best every day.
"Everyone needs a coach. It doesn't matter whether you're a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast, or a bridge player."
