“Ashley, thank you again for a terrific session yesterday. Folks were buzzing about it all day long and I had a number of unsolicited comments about how well it went and how much people enjoyed themselves. I think it was both cathartic and incredibly helpful for the whole team. Great job getting to the heart of how people feel and helping us find our voices to speak out in that room.”

"I have worked with Elevate Leadership several times in my career and every time I am partnered with an incredible coach who has changed my career and enhanced my leadership capabilities. Most recently I had the pleasure of working with Ashley who is the epitome of what I've grown to expect from Elevate: an empathetic coach full of creativity and actionable game plans. Ashley is incredibly poised, unbelievably versed in executive etiquette and so capable of helping you work through the challenges leaders and evolving leaders face in their day-to-day work. My CEO calls me Jenna 2.0 after applying what I've learned in my work with Ashely and the broader Elevate resources. I know you'll gain as much value if not more in working with Ashley."
