Influence isn't built on

authority.

You're a senior leader who got here on talent and drive. But the role you're in now requires something different. The hard conversations, the stakeholder politics, the pressure to perform while navigating systems that weren't designed for you. That's the work most coaches won't touch.

Two Ways to Work With Me

Individual Professional Development

You're a senior leader who knows the title isn't enough. You want to build real influence, navigate hard conversations with confidence, and lead in a way that reflects who you actually are. This program gives you the space, the tools, and the honest partnership to get there.

90-Minute Leadership Intensives

You don't need a six-month engagement. You need clarity on a specific challenge right now. One focused session. One decision, conversation, or leadership moment you need to get right. Walk in stuck. Walk out with a plan.

"I went from crippling imposter syndrome to genuine confidence as a leader. I learned that self-compassion isn't weakness. It's a leadership skill, especially when navigating spaces where I'm often the youngest or only person who looks like me in the room. Self-doubt still shows up sometimes, but I no longer question whether I deserve my success. I've earned my place, and I finally believe it."

Who This Work Is For


This work is for senior leaders who are done performing and ready to lead for real.

You might be navigating spaces where you're underestimated, overlooked, or expected to shrink. You might be the leader everyone sees as successful but who knows something isn't working underneath. You might have gotten feedback that keeps you up at night. Or you might be stepping into a role that demands more than what got you here.

You don't need to fit neatly into one category. You just need to be ready to do the work.

"I was succeeding on paper but struggling as a leader. I could manage tasks, but I wasn't truly connecting with my team, partly because I was so focused on proving myself in an environment where I often felt like an outsider. Dr. Ashley didn't just refine my leadership tactics. She took time to understand who I am holistically: my values, strengths, and the experiences that shaped how I show up. I now lead with more intention and authenticity, and I have a clearer sense of my leadership identity."
