“Ashli is an extremely positive and magnetic personality. She is easy to work with and her enthusiasm and insights have taken a group of strangers and helped us to bond as a team. The most valuable to me was learning to work with each of our personality types. Fascinating discovery that I now use in my relationships outside work as well. Ashli's teachings and insights are a must!”

She helped me celebrate different milestones and helped me see some strengths I would not have otherwise really noticed about myself. I was able to organize my thoughts and articulate what set of factors matter most to me as I look to advance my career”
