Dr. Jacqueline Ashley, PCC - Executive coach with a psychotherapist's lens

You’re a strong leader. But something’s off. Your ideas get diluted in meetings. Feedback you receive doesn’t match the impact you know you’re making. People seem to respond to a version of you that isn’t quite right.

This is what it looks like when influence stalls. Not because you lack skill, but because the systems around you weren’t designed to read your leadership accurately.

I coach leaders whose influence is being filtered through bias, misperception, or organizational dynamics they didn’t create. Together, we work on how you’re heard, how you respond under pressure, and how you lead when the environment isn’t set up for you to win.

My background isn’t typical for a coach. I trained as a psychotherapist before becoming an ICF-certified executive coach, which means I work at the intersection of behavior, emotion, and strategy. I don’t just help you build a plan. I help you understand why certain patterns keep repeating and what to do about them.

Since 2010, I’ve coached 650+ leaders across multiple continents. I use CliftonStrengths, emotional intelligence frameworks, and a methodology I developed called DESIGN to help clients move from being underestimated to being unmistakable.

If you’re tired of doing the work but not getting the recognition, let’s talk.
