about me

I am passionate about empowering organizational leaders to build their capacity for effective leadership and peer coaching. With over twenty years of experience in education, I have had the privilege of teaching, mentoring, and coaching faculty, and I now bring that expertise to support professionals across a variety of fields.

Through my work, I help leaders—whether educators, physicians, or other professionals—develop the skills, frameworks, and competencies needed to coach their peers and foster a culture of growth within their organizations. By focusing on building leadership capacity at all levels, I work to equip individuals with the tools they need to enhance their own effectiveness while also fostering an environment of support and development for their colleagues.

My background in educational leadership, combined with my work in curriculum development, coaching, and mentoring, has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of how to build sustainable practices that strengthen both individual leaders and the organizations they guide. I have extensive experience designing professional development and coaching programs that are tailored to the unique needs of each leader and organization.

I hold a Master of Education in Educational Leadership and Administration from the University of South Carolina, a Master of Education in Divergent Learning from Columbia College, and a Certificate in School Management and Leadership from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Harvard Business School. I also have hands-on experience leading teams, which informs my coaching and leadership development approach.

My work is grounded in helping professionals develop their emotional intelligence, communication skills, and coaching abilities—empowering them to navigate complex challenges, foster collaboration, and lead their teams to success.

I would welcome the opportunity to work with you and your team to build leadership capacity and support the growth of your organization, helping to equip leaders with the tools to lead effectively and coach their peers with confidence.

Warmly,

Ashley Stokes
