AS FEATURED IN
ABOUT
You're here because you are a promotion-ready powerhouse with a burning desire to rediscover the impact you've made in your career so you can market yourself to employers as the candidate of choice who commands a top-dollar salary.
You've been repeatedly told no when you've tried on your own to pursue that higher-paying job or make your mark in another career field and it's discouraging.
Here's a tip: The answer isn't no because they said so. It's a "no" because you actually believe them.
As a corporate recruiter, I've hired top talent for national nonprofits and multimillion-dollar companies in banking and manufacturing.
Before launching my business, I'd been at a point where I let feelings of self-doubt, defeat, and frustration hold me back in my career.
I can't tell you how many promotions I let pass me by. My degree, years of experience, and achievements didn't matter because I didn't know how great I was back then. I chose to listen to that little devil on my shoulder who told me my career dreams were impossible instead of claiming what was mine because I was worth it.
Then, I got tired. I mean, I was fed up! I was stuck in a dead-end job and wanted to move up in my field, but I just didn't know where to start.
Once I pinpointed fool-proof job search strategies, career advancement was no longer a dream. It became my reality.
Now, I help emerging leaders overcome the worry, self-pity, and stress of their job search so they don't struggle like I did.
Your goals are just on the other side of fear and defeat.
"Ashley is a lot of fun to work with, and at the same time, she gets right down to business. I believe she was as invested in my success as I was! I wholeheartedly recommend Ashley as your "go to" when you want to make a change, improve your income, change career paths and/or move up....she can and will do it all."
L. Vaughn - Nonprofit CEO


By the time career seekers reach out to me for help they are:
Underpaid — because they run circles around their coworkers (and supervisors), but their paychecks don't reflect it.
Frustrated — because they've applied for jobs and repeatedly get rejections even when they KNOW they are highly qualified for the targeted roles.
Defeated — because, despite their best efforts, they can't land positions/promotions with their desired employer. Walking in their true purpose seems impossible.
Overwhelmed — because they've sought career advice/services from people who have no vested interest in their success, no hiring experience, and no idea what current job search standards look like. None of what they're being told works and they struggle to fix it by themselves.
It's never too late to reach your full career potential.
Whether you're:
...a new grad hoping to land the first job in your field,
...a mid-level manager looking for that 6-figure promotion,
...an experienced director ready to take on an executive role, OR
...a seasoned professional wanting to shift gears into a new industry
I can help you speak with confidence and purpose so you land more interviews for high-paying roles at Fortune 500 brands.
"I am happy to announce that I not only received one job offer at a well-known company, I also may have another offer coming through in a week or two! I could not have made it through all of this without her. I highly recommend her for her resume writing, career coaching and job hunting strategy. If you haven't found a job yet, Ashley will help you get there."
