INSIGHTS BY ASHLEY R.

“I started working with Ashley because I was feeling stuck—constantly putting in the work but not sure how it was connecting to bigger company goals or where I was going next in my career. The coaching experience helped me connect the dots in a way that felt truly empowering. Ashley didn’t just give me advice or solutions; she helped me see my potential and navigate the complexity of my role in a new way. I’d say it’s been like having a personal strategist who’s always in your corner, helping you turn challenges into stepping stones, building confidence to speak up, and clarifying how your work is making an impact. I feel like I’m now in a much stronger place to take my career to the next level.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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?”

“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!”
