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

ou 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, but that it's a leadership skill that helped me stop fixating on my shortcomings and start seeing myself realistically—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 or belong in leadership spaces, even when I'm managing the additional challenges that come with that territory. 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 or developing my team, partly because I was so focused on proving myself in an environment where I often felt like an outsider.

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—my values, strengths, even the experiences that shaped how I show up and the additional challenges I navigate. That deeper understanding helped me see the kind of leader I actually wanted to be, not just the one I thought would be most accepted.

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 want someone who understands both leadership development and the reality of navigating barriers others don't face, this is the right fit."
