Hi, I’m Ashley.
I coach mission-driven leaders who are creating exceptional workplaces.
With more than 15 years of executive leadership experience in philanthropy and the nonprofit sector, I've deployed hundreds of millions of dollars and launched programs reaching millions of people. Along the way, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the complex challenges and transformative potential within mission-driven work.
What drives me most, though, is building strong, values-aligned organizations for people who are changing the world. Today, I focus on coaching senior and emerging leaders who are shaping the future of social impact — helping them lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Let’s Work Together
Whether you're a senior leader balancing the many demands of running an organization, an operations leader growing into greater responsibility, or an emerging leader planning your future pathway, you share a common goal: to build exceptional organizations that create meaningful change in the world.
At the start of your coaching engagement, we’ll identify your priorities and create a personalized program that’s just right for your goals. To spark your imagination, here are some examples of how we could work together:
Leadership Foundations
Get clarity about who you are, what you want, and how to get there
Are you an emerging leader ready to lay the groundwork for a purposeful and impactful career? Leadership Foundations is designed to help you discover and articulate who you are, what matters most to you, and how to move forward with confidence.
Just as exceptional organizations clarify their mission, vision, and values, you’ll define your guiding principles and uncover your unique strengths. Together, we’ll translate this clarity into a compelling narrative and actionable plan.
By the end of this program, you will:
Gain deep clarity about your core values, personal mission, and vision
Identify and leverage your unique strengths as a leader
Develop a clear action plan for your next steps
Learn how to communicate your story and aspirations with confidence
Walk away with practical tools and a roadmap for continued growth
What’s Included:
Coaching engagement roadmap
One-hour private coaching sessions
Customized tools + ongoing Support
Document reviews
Final report and future action plan
Duration: 3 to 4 Months
Time Commitment: 2 to 3 hours per week
Change Map
Unlock what’s holding you back
Are you highly motivated to make a change, yet find yourself stuck in the same place? Even the most committed leaders can face invisible barriers, often rooted in hidden fears or competing commitments that aren’t immediately obvious.
Using a proven, interactive mapping exercise, we’ll work together to uncover what’s truly holding you back — specifically, the underlying patterns and beliefs that are keeping you from making the progress you want.
Clients consistently tell me this process is a game-changer:
It brings clarity to what’s really getting in the way, often revealing surprising insights
It helps you focus your energy on what will actually move the needle
It empowers you to take meaningful, sustainable steps toward your goals
What’s included:
Two private coaching sessions
Change map and customized prompts
Future action plan
Duration: 2 to 3 weeks
Time Commitment: ~2 hours per week
One Big Thing
Transform the one challenge standing between you and your next level of leadership
Even the most accomplished leaders have that one persistent behavior, mindset, or pattern that seems to resist change, no matter how much experience or insight they bring to the table. If you’re a senior leader who is effective in most areas, but there’s one big thing holding you back from your fullest potential, this program is designed for you.
One Big Thing offers a powerful, research-based coaching process to help you:
Gain deep insight into the underlying beliefs and mindsets driving this challenge
Uncover the hidden commitments or fears that keep you stuck
Shift your behavior in meaningful, sustainable ways
Experience real, lasting change that elevates your leadership and amplifies your impact
With dedicated support and proven frameworks, you’ll move beyond old patterns and unlock new possibilities —for yourself, your team, and your organization.
What’s Included:
In-depth onboarding and goal-setting
Regular, private coaching sessions
Research-based tools and exercises
Ongoing feedback and accountability
Comprehensive progress reviews and next-step planning
Duration: 6 to 8 months
Time Commitment: 3-4 hours per week
