Leadership Development Workshops & Retreats

Building high-performing teams through strategic group experiences

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” - African Proverb

Group learning accelerates transformation by creating shared language, aligned expectations, and collective accountability.

My workshops and retreats combine leadership theory with practical application, giving teams the tools they need to perform at their highest level. Whether you need a single focused session or a comprehensive multi-day experience, these programs are designed to create lasting change in how your team operates and leads.

What Leaders Say

"I had the opportunity to work with and learn from Ashley in an executive level leadership retreat she designed and implemented. She was incredibly approachable and taught relevant leadership theory in an accessible way that was easy to understand. She shared practical application of theories with solid and relatable examples, and gave us opportunities to practice what she taught.

I learned and grew as part of my work with Ashley and I am grateful for the takeaways I am now integrating into my daily work."

- Rabbi Amy Rossel, Senior Director of Education & Engagement
