coaching

Are you ready to unlock your potential for what’s next? Are you ready to invest in your own development? Are you ready to laugh? 

Let’s work together.

I coach leaders, teams, and groups to raise the bar on what’s possible by discovering actionable insights, building new disciplines and habits, and deepening capacity to navigate complex problems. Click below to schedule an introductory call or to request more information.

Who I work with

I love what I do because I do what I love. Part of that is a commitment to being selective about the partnerships I enter into. My ideal clients are ambitious (e.g., goal-oriented), committed to growth (e.g., motivated to continuously improve; ready to “work”), and conscientious (e.g., committed to having a positive impact on others). It also helps to have a sense of humor, but that isn’t required. 😉 

I’ve worked with hundreds of leaders from executive (VP+) to front-line manager; across a broad range of industries (including advertising, education, entertainment, finance, hardware, marketing, retail, software, supply chain, and technology); located around the globe. I primarily work with leaders in the private sector, but have worked with non-profit and government leaders. 

What clients ask for

I leverage my diverse expertise and unique approach to help clients solve a broad range of problems. Clients tend to seek me out for:

  1. Transitioning to a new leadership role. 
  2. Scaling their leadership style or approach to a larger or more complex organization. 
  3. Building a new team; setting the team up for success. 
  4. Aligning and inspiring a team impacted by change. 
  5. (Re)discovering a sense of purpose and passion. 
  6. Launching a new product or program.
  7. Getting promoted.
  8. Exploring new possibilities for my career.
  9. Navigating difficult relationships at work. 
  10. Overcoming new or complex challenges. 

My approach

I draw on my broad expertise and science-based techniques to help my clients create ‘breakthrough’ moments and sustainable pathways forward. I believe that coaching, at its simplest, should create clarity, choice, and control. With greater clarity (of purpose, perspectives, environment, etc), clients discover new choices; with a new array of choices, clients can exercise more deliberate control and achieve their desired outcome(s). 

What clients say

“I was blown away by the skill and intention Ashley brought to our partnership. Thanks to that, and the thorough coaching plan he developed, I was able to achieve the promotion I wanted! Thank you!!!”

— Lynn M.
 

“I started working with Ashley because I knew there were professional opportunities I was not taking full advantage of at the time. Always bringing positivity, deep insight and preparation to our sessions he shared techniques that allowed me to tackle challenges in new ways by addressing and resetting my mindset. The content of our sessions was always well researched and customized to my personal circumstances. I am grateful for the impact that Ashley’s expertise has had on my career and life and I will always remember that there are always at least 3 solutions to any problem!”

— Sarah B.

 “I feel like I’m looking at the world, and how I lead my team, with a new set of eyes. I expected most of the value I got out of coaching would be the 360 assessment. By our second session, I had an eerie sense the 360 would just be a small part of it. Sure enough, Ashley helped me see patterns in the 360 data I wouldn’t have seen—and then helped me create an action plan that ended up being super tangible to my team and stakeholders. Because I knew Ashley really cared and didn’t want to let him down, that kept me going the extra mile even when things got crazy. Thanks to Ashley’s help, I ended up achieving my goals and later recommended him to one of my peers.”
