When What Got You Here Doesn't Scale
Success often comes with its own set of strategies. You learn how to work hard, solve problems quickly, respond to urgency, rely on your expertise, and take responsibility for getting things done. Those approaches may work extremely well—until the demands of your role change.
As responsibilities grow, the work often becomes less about what you can accomplish yourself and more about how you prioritize, communicate, delegate, develop others, make decisions with incomplete information, and protect your attention across competing demands.
At the same time, the systems you've relied on personally may become harder to maintain. A packed calendar leaves less room to recover from interruptions. Keeping everything in your head becomes less reliable. Perfectionism becomes expensive. Being highly responsive can make it difficult to protect strategic work. And solving problems yourself may no longer be the best use of your time.
Coaching creates space to examine which strategies are still serving you, which ones have become costly, and what needs to evolve for the role you have now.
This isn't about abandoning the strengths that helped you succeed. It's about making sure the way you work can grow with the work you're being asked to do.
Individual & Organization-Sponsored Coaching
Coaching can be initiated by you or provided as part of a professional development engagement through your employer, law firm, or other organization.
Individual Coaching
You may seek coaching independently to address a specific professional challenge, strengthen executive functioning or work systems, navigate a transition, or develop more intentionally as a leader.
The work is shaped around your goals and can be short-term and focused or continue as your professional needs evolve.
Organization-Sponsored Coaching
Organizations may engage Dr. Ashley to provide individualized coaching for leaders and professionals as part of leadership development, professional performance, or targeted support around a particular area of growth.
When an organization sponsors coaching, the engagement begins with clarity about the purpose of the coaching, the roles of the individual and sponsoring organization, and what information—if any—will be shared outside of coaching sessions.
Effective organization-sponsored coaching requires enough alignment to support meaningful goals while preserving the space for candid, productive coaching conversations.
Coaching: Fees & Practical Information
Individual Coaching — $250 per hour
Individual executive and professional coaching is offered at $250 per hour. The frequency and duration of coaching are individualized based on your goals; coaching does not require a predetermined number of sessions or a long-term commitment.
Organization-Sponsored Coaching
Coaching may also be sponsored by law firms, employers, and other organizations. The scope, scheduling, goals, and fees for organization-sponsored engagements are established with the sponsoring organization at the beginning of the engagement.
Virtual Coaching
Coaching is available virtually to professionals throughout the U.S. and internationally. Because coaching is a non-clinical professional service rather than psychological treatment, it is not limited to the jurisdictions where Dr. Ashley holds authorization to practice psychology.
Coaching & Therapy Are Different Services
Executive and professional coaching focuses on professional goals, work patterns, leadership, executive functioning, and behavior change within the context of your work. It is not psychotherapy, psychological treatment, or a substitute for mental health care when clinical services are needed.
If you're unsure whether therapy or coaching is the better fit for what you're looking for, Dr. Ashley can help you think through the distinction during an initial consultation.
