Kerri Williams

- Triple Olympic Medalist

Individual Coaching 

I thoroughly enjoyed each session — they were well-organised and had a clear purpose. I learned so much about telling my story, along with valuable tips and tricks for managing nerves. With Confidence has been a huge help in developing my story. Ashleigh gave me the tools and guidance to shape my ideas into impactful messages. Now, I feel far more confident in my storytelling skills and can express my thoughts with imagination and creativity.

Brooke Francis

- Olympic Gold Medalist

Individual Coaching

I have had a successful rowing career spanning 10+ years. Ashleigh has helped me with public speaking to tell my story succinctly whilst focusing on key high and lows. We have drawn out key messages that relate to younger and older listeners. I love how Ashleigh listened to my needs and created a personalised course where she has been able to share her years of expertise in this area.

Siobhan Terry

- NZ Para-Athlete

Individual Coaching

I really enjoyed every session, especially the key take aways and work ons. Direct feedback and practice/repetitions I found most helpful. I like that the structure was clearly laid out, and we were able to review notes and content ahead of the sessions. Thank you for your support!

Cushla Holdaway

- Athlete and Dietician

I really enjoyed working with Ashleigh! I was looking to improve a few key communication skills. Firstly, my public speaking, specifically making seminars much more engaging. Secondly, generally being better at striking up conversations with strangers and being more charismatic. Ashleigh gave me so many tips and tricks and I now feel more equipped with tools in my toolbox. Would highly recommend!

Evandro Scherer

- Engineer

I highly recommend Ashleigh’s interview coaching services. I completed two sessions with her and found the experience extremely valuable. Following my interview, the panel described it as a “fantastic interview”, which speaks directly to the quality and effectiveness of Ashleigh’s coaching.
