LET'S TALK

Does this sound familiar?

Are you ready for your NEXT ROLE but feeling OVERLOOKED by recruiters, STUCK, and UNCERTAIN about whether you're positioning yourself right?

You're successful and ambitious, but maybe you're feeling anxious about that final round interview or uncertain about how to position yourself for roles 1-2 levels above your current experience. Maybe you're wondering: How do I land the role I really want without underselling myself or leaving money on the table?

Strategic job searches require more than just a polished resume. You need compelling interview narratives, confident salary negotiation skills, and a systematic approach to standing out in competitive markets.

It's time to move from qualified candidate to obvious choice with a clear strategy and expert guidance.

YOUR NEXT ROLE requires a different playbook

What got you here won't get you there—you need strategic positioning, compelling interview narratives, and the confidence to negotiate for what you're worth.

SOLVE YOUR JOB SEARCH CHALLENGES

You're anxious about high-stakes interviews, frustrated by being seen as an executor instead of leadership material, or worried you'll undersell yourself when it matters most.

STOP SPRINTING TOWARDS BURNOUT

You're worried about applying to everything just to get noticed, burning out from endless rejections and ghosting, or accepting the wrong role just because you need something to work out.

Real Talk - CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

  • “I reached out to Ashley at a time in my career when I needed guidance and someone to remind me how much I have to offer. Ashley is an expert at listening to you and truly understanding what you are passionate about and skilled at and then coming up with a strategy to get you into roles that utilize those skills and passions. I felt strongly about having a woman coach who truly understood some of the hurdles women face in career searches. With Ashley's expert guidance, I was able to ultimately a new role with a significant salary increase and leadership advancement opportunity.”

    Assistant Director, Learning at an Ivy League Institution

  • "I initially sought a coach to help me find clarity and meaning in my next career move. What I received in Ashley was a coach who helped me unlock my purpose and instilled in me the courage to ask for what I deserved. She is smart, caring, and exceptionally strategic. Every time we spoke, I left feeling more empowered and confident in my abilities. She knows exactly the right questions to ask, and she was quick in tailoring her approach to meet my specific needs. Ashley has been an invaluable partner in the short time we've worked together, and I can't imagine a world where she is not a part of my journey."

    VP, Marketing at one of the world’s leading publishing powerhouses

  • “I was looking to work with a coach because I felt that I wanted some outside insight about my current role, my career, and my professional future. I especially wanted to work with Ashley because I knew there would be a level of shorthand because she is a high-performing senior level Black woman executive. This meant that we were able to be efficient with our time together; I wasn’t educating on intersectionality, identity politics, representation gaps, microagressions and more. She immediately understood what it meant to be a high-performing, high-level executive. Ashley provided validation, clarity, and tools to own my leadership free of self-doubt and fear. With Ashley, I have become a more sure-footed leader of teams that I managed. It has been valuable context for setting expectations, understand my worth and value, not only in my place of employment, but also in my industry. Ashley, you are my secret power.”

    SVP, Communications at an award-winning PR agency

  • “Ashley is an exceptionally talented coach and I would recommend her to anyone. From our first meeting, she instantly connected with me and was able to listen and uncover insights about myself that I was blind to - it felt like she really 'got' me, despite us having just met. For every session Ashley came prepared and clearly having put deep thought into the time we were going to spend together. Despite having a week or two between sessions, she was able to seamlessly pick up where we left off, continuing the flow of the prior work. I am so grateful to have worked with Ashley and would recommend her to any high performer looking to refine their vision and take action.”

    Student at Harvard Business School

  • “I would describe my coaching experience with you as meeting with a highly qualified distant cousin. The coaching felt tailored to me, you gave me real-time feedback and homework, and you were very direct about the things I needed to improve versus where I was doing well. As someone who always looks for ways to do better, you took time to make sure I acknowledged my wins and not just move on to the next thing without congratulating myself. You were very encouraging, thorough, warm, and relatable. I appreciated how you allowed for space to vent a bit professionally, but you always tied it back to a few actionable items so that it didn't just feel like a venting session. You listened, processed, and then provided me with ways to solve the issue or pivot. I would give a 10/10 rating on coaching.”

  • “I am more self-assured, empowered and intentional in how I communicate with my my CEO. When I started I felt like often what I said or shared with my leader fell on deaf ears or wasn't relevant. Now I have greater confidence in the impact, relevance and reception of what I communicate - that's huge! That's been a gamechanger for my sense of self worth at the work.”

    Director of Executive Operations at a venture-backed tech company

  • “Ashley rotated between guide/coach, understanding ear, and mirror beautifully and in all the ways I needed it most but didn't know it. As a result, I was able to take a challenging onboarding experience into a new company and bring up my confidence. Working with Ashley has helped me to identify and name where issues and triggers come from, and as a result I truly feel like I got my mojo back. I am so grateful for Ashley. The only negative is that I've never had a coach before this experience and I am nervous that Ashley is as good as it gets?”

    Head of HR in the Beauty Industry

  • “Ashley was able to help me think creatively and strategically through workplace challenges that were directly tied to my career progression in my organization. Her support and advice were precise, timely, and spot on. She was effective and helped me impress the right people. After the end of our initial engagement, I achieved all of the goals I had and was able to successfully get a major strategy approved. I look forward to working with her in the future and she comes highly recommended!”

CAREER STRATEGIST // POSITIONING EXPERT // NEW YORKER // HIGH-ACHIEVER //

I help ambitious professionals who've been successful but hit roadblocks in landing their next role.

After building my career from individual contributor to Vice President in 5 years, including strategic moves across industries. I learned that landing great roles requires a completely different skillset than doing great work. I've been through layoffs, tough negotiations, and the anxiety of "this interview has to work out" moments myself.

Now I coach other high-performers through the same transitions. I combine the strategic thinking of someone who's been a VP with the real-world experience of someone who's navigated multiple career transitions. I understand the specific anxiety of stepping up after a layoff, the imposter syndrome of going for bigger roles, and how to turn your "weaknesses" into compelling leadership narratives.

My clients don't just get jobs—they get roles 1-2 levels above where they thought they could land, with 5 to 6-figure salary increases, because we work on the strategic positioning that makes you the obvious choice. You're not just getting interview prep—you're getting guidance from someone who's been where you want to go.

FAQs

  • My clients land the roles they want, often 1-2 levels above their previous position, with significant salary increases. In the last year alone, clients have secured roles with 15-30% salary bumps, successfully navigated final round interviews at major companies, and positioned themselves to transition between industries while stepping up in seniority.

    But the results go beyond titles and compensation. You'll walk away knowing exactly how to position yourself in high-stakes conversations, how to advocate for what you want without seeming pushy, and how to build the executive presence that gets you noticed for the right reasons.

    Bottom line: if you're ready to make strategic moves in your career, we'll create a concrete plan to get you there. If you're not ready to do the work, this probably isn't for you.

  • I work with ambitious professionals who are ready for their next role—whether that's stepping up in level, transitioning industries, or recovering from a layoff with strategic positioning.

    My clients are Directors, VPs, and senior managers who've worked at companies across tech, entertainment, finance, healthcare, and education. They're high-performers who know they're capable of more but need strategic guidance to navigate the job search process successfully.

    If you're someone who does great work but struggles to translate that into interview success, or if you're ready for a bigger role but not sure how to position yourself as leadership material, you're probably a good fit.

  • Job searching at the senior level is a completely different game than applying for your first few roles. You're not just competing on qualifications anymore—you're being evaluated on leadership potential, strategic thinking, and cultural fit.

    The challenge? Most high-performers have never had to systematically position themselves for roles they want. You've been promoted internally or recruited through relationships. Now you need to prove yourself to strangers in 60-minute conversations.

    That's where coaching makes the difference. I help you translate your complex experience into compelling narratives, prepare for the behavioral questions that trip up even seasoned executives, and negotiate from a position of strength instead of desperation. You'll walk into interviews knowing exactly how to demonstrate the leadership qualities they're looking for.

  • My job search clients don't just get hired—they get hired faster, with better compensation, and sometimes with multiple offers to choose from.

    But here's what really matters: they go from feeling desperate and anxious about their job search to feeling strategic and in control. Instead of hoping someone will "give them a chance," they walk into interviews knowing exactly why they're the right choice. They stop taking rejections personally and start seeing them as misaligned opportunities.

    The transformation? They go from being job seekers to being sought-after candidates who can actually be selective about their next move.

  • I know job searching can feel isolating and demoralizing, especially when you're not getting the responses you deserve. My role is to be the strategic partner who helps you see what's not working and gives you a clear plan to fix it.

    Our sessions are focused and action-oriented. We'll practice the interview scenarios that make you nervous, build compelling stories that showcase your leadership potential, and develop your negotiation strategy before you're in the hot seat. You'll leave every session with specific tools you can use immediately.

    I'm direct about what needs to change, but I'm also invested in your success. I won't just tell you to "be more confident" - I'll show you exactly how to demonstrate confidence through your stories, your questions, and your follow-up. My job is to make sure you're prepared, positioned, and ready to show up as your best self.

    You're already capable of landing great roles. I'm here to make sure everyone else sees that too.

  • We start biweekly, then adapt our timing to match your job search phase.

    Here's why: during application and networking phases, two weeks gives you time to implement our strategies, apply to targeted roles, and schedule interviews. But when you're in active interview rounds? We might meet weekly for intensive prep and real-time debrief.

    Got a final round interview next week? We'll schedule a session right before. Waiting to hear back on multiple offers? We'll time our session for when you need negotiation support.

    The goal isn't rigid scheduling—it's strategic support when you actually need it. Some weeks you'll need me in your corner more than others, and our timing reflects that reality.

    Plus, honestly? Job searches have natural momentum cycles. Meeting strategically keeps you moving forward during the active phases and prevents you from overthinking during the waiting periods.

LAND THE ROLE YOU DESERVE

GET THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU ACTUALLY WANT.

The truth? Most high-performers think they'll figure out job searching on their own. That their impressive experience will speak for itself. That eventually, the right opportunity will come along.

And some do figure it out. After months of applications, disappointing interviews, and wondering "what if I'd positioned myself differently from the start?"

You're here because you're smart enough to know there's probably a faster way. And you're right. The question isn't whether you'll eventually land a great role. The question is: how much time do you want to spend in job search mode?
