A FEW CLIENTS







CLIENTS SAY
Dr Ashley’s seminar on ‘The Female Superpower’, delivered to a room of Northrop’s emerging female leaders, was powerful in that it provided insights into the skills and tools women can utilise to help them step up into positions they could potentially be overlooked for.
Her sessions are both informative and engaging, I highly recommend her services to any company that is looking to bolster their people and give them the best chance for success in their careers.
In my role of being a Learning and Development Enthusiast, I use a lot of her Training Materials for self enhancement and learnings.
She is a catalyst of change, an influencer who makes positive impact by globally uplifting the capabilities of Leaders, and this was witnessed recently when I had invited her to be a Guest Speaker/Mentor to our Organization Culture Change Agents Club which we operate in Fiji to support Trainers across our country.
The participants were fascinated by the incredible mentoring, coaching provided by Dr Stacey.
Thank you for Building Humans around the universe and allowing us to show up with authenticity.
Looking forward to engaging with you more and becoming a better version of me!
Stacey and I discussed ideas for a foundational building block program across the three teams, to help the managers lead their team and assist in leading the combined branch. Stacey put together a package of individual coaching for the 3 managers plus a high-power-team building block series of workshops. These ran from July to November and were a resounding success for the managers, the teams and to assist me in setting the tone.
I cannot speak more highly enough of Stacey’s collaborative approach, her ability to listen and hear what is required. Then her ability to design and deliver a fit-4-team program.
I would personally recommend Stacey and would encourage leaders to reach out, attend a webinar, read one of her books and see what resonates!!
As a leadership expert and speaker, she has professionalism at the very core and her presentation and insights were spot on. I absolutely admired the way she used graphs and illustrations to simplify matters. She has good interactive skills with the audience as well. Stacey’s expertise on social media and content can only be matched by her wit, which helps make every interaction with her a glowing experience.
I would love to recommend Stacey – She is a well-known speaker and expert of the field that definitely helps her clients achieve their goals.
There is one word I would use to describe how it made me feel –
“INSPIRED”
The pandemic clouded my headspace, I lost my vision and my mojo. In just one hour, Stacey inspired and motivated me to get back on track with my life journey, to recognise progress, have compassion for myself, take action and create opportunities for my future. She reminded me I am in control, and being positive is a choice – one that I can choose to make each day.
She spoke about the psychology of choosing positivity, recognising and appreciating the journey, and put life into perspective by enlightening me with the negative to positive ratio.
I’d definitely recommend Stacey as a leadership expert, someone who is highly experienced with transformational and adaptive leadership, coaching, mentoring and motivational speaking.
At a time where leaders are struggling to keep themselves and their people motivated and engaged, Stacey is able to provide simple yet effective tools to help lead ourselves and our teams, while building a collaborative approach that is focused on the celebrations of success, whilst in the journey.
Her facilitation of the virtual session was authentic and engaging. She really made you feel like you were in a room with just her and a handful of others – even though there were more than 120 of us online!
Thank you Stacey for helping me find my mojo!
Many thanks for helping us create a rejuvenating finale to the year, encouraging us to take stock of all that has happened in the past year, reflect on where we want to be in the coming year and the valuable opportunity that we have to design the life we want to lead.
Your session was enriching, practical and truly effective in providing possibilities for transformation. Your translation of complex concepts into easy and doable tips is simply brilliant. I think filling our cups, fostering connection, elevating our practice and operating in our zone of genius are illuminating & inspirational thoughts that will help us face up, show up and step up to a better 2021.
Once again, thanks a ton for sharing your expertise and giving us your valuable time. Your presence and contributions to APAC are precious and much appreciated.
- You must lead yourself.
- Leaders have a responsibility to create more leaders.
- Leading your tribe.
I am sure those will help the attendees who were in attendance.
Working with Stacey was delightful, she is professional, thoughtful and considered in her approach which contributed to a very successful webinar. Stacey contributed her thought leadership on Career Challenges, Changes and Choices and how the different styles and approaches to leadership show up when managing yourself and your teams.
Feedback from the webinar was extremely positive with some commenting that “Stacey was insightful and helpful with practical advice and tips” and “an excellent speaker with a great perspective on the topic and really enjoyed hearing her thoughts on women leaders during the COVID-19 crisis.”
I attended Stacey’s session at the AITD Conference in Sydney on Friday about Learning with Accountability. What an amazing, practical, and valuable session! I had a very major OMG moment and discovered the missing link. Thank you again, Stacey.
What I found the best part of your presentation was the practical application of coaching concepts that we can apply now. It wasn’t textbook stuff but valuable DIY concepts that we can apply today. The fact that you also left us with a daily reminder which we can take away from the conference simply reinforces what we’ve learnt. I thought I knew what coaching was until I listened to your presentation. Thanks again and look forward to continuing my coaching journey.
