Helping individuals and teams navigate the complexities toward their goals to choose and live in their best forms.

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?'” Mary Oliver

As you have grown throughout your career or your business, have you found yourself feeling uplifted, light-hearted, healthy in mind, body, and spirit?  Or has this progression come at the cost of excess stress, feeling heavy hearted, and like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? It doesn’t have to be that way.  Engage with a partner to help you navigate the complexities toward your goals to choose and live in your best form.

What is coaching?

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as

a partnership with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. This process often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity, and leadership.

Coaching Services

Executive Coaching

Elevate your impact with tailored one-on-one coaching to clarify your goals and navigate the complexities to get there, with an actionable plan.

Team Coaching

Help your team(s) improve performance and collaboration by facilitating communication, working through potential conflict, enhancing problem-solving skills and establishing shared goals.

Real-time Leadership Coaching

Combining Human Resources experience and coaching skills to join your leader(s) on site or virtually and provide real time leadership coaching; building their confidence to grow your people and your results.

Coaching services incorporate various tools and models, predominantly leveraging the Excelerator Coaching framework taught through the Graduate Program for Executive Coaching through Royal Roads University.   As an accredited coach with the International Coach Federation, I adhere to the ICF Code of Ethics.

"As a leader of an organization it is imperative to grow continuously to best support those who rely on you.  Upon accepting my new role as Executive Director, I was fortunate to begin my journey with Ashley.  Her guidance has been invaluable, helping me to explore blind spots, address limitations, and discover unlocked potential.  Ashley provides flexible, supportive challenges, while always prioritizing our journey forward.

Ashley has a gift for inspiring me to push beyond my comfort zone and strive for continuous self-improvement. Her coaching challenged me to set bolder goals, take calculated risks, hold myself to a higher standard of excellence, and ongoing self-reflection. Any executive seeking to elevate their leadership impact and accelerate career growth would be wise to engage Ashley as their coach. She is a consummate professional whose insights and support can be a powerful catalyst for enduring success."

“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them become what they are capable of being.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Fractional executive support allows you to leverage the expertise and capability of an executive at a cost that fits your business today, to build the foundation for your business of tomorrow.  This lighter version of a full-time executive offers many benefits, at a lighter investment point.
