Ashley has been a great help to us." - Arianne Foulks, Aeolidia

Next-Level Leader

A leadership development experience for female founders who are ready to become more confident, effective and impactful leaders.

You thought that having a team was going to take work off your plate.

But you’ve realized it’s actually a whole lot more work than you bargained for - and you weren’t ready for that.

You find yourself getting bogged down in the day-to-day grind of business and you’re not sure how to fully step into your role as a leader.

Sometimes, you wish you didn’t even have a team. Having a team is so.damn.hard! But you know in order to reach your goals, you need the support of a strong team to help get you there.

You’ve wasted an embarrassing amount of hours Googling #allthethings about how to lead a team.

But you’re no closer to figuring out this whole leadership thing on your own and you’re left thinking, “I need more help than another book or podcast.”

You wish someone would come alongside you to help you figure where things are going so wrong, so you can stop struggling and start leading with confidence!

What can I expect?

My signature Next-Level Leader Experience will help you develop the skills you need to step fully into your leadership role with more confidence, so you can lead your team effectively and have more impact. After years of being a leader, studying leadership and helping others successfully lead teams, I've identified 7 Cornerstones to help you build a strong foundation for your leadership journey.

During this 8-week group coaching experience, you'll implement the lessons for each cornerstone, get more time back in your day, learn how to lead your team more effectively and understand what higher level tasks you should be working on to move the needle in your business.

Next-Level Leader Cornerstones

Program Assessments

Assess Strengths + Challenges

You'll receive a pre-program survey to help us assess your strengths and challenges. You'll also receive one at the end of the program to help us track progress!


Cornerstone 4

Setting Expectations

An area where a lot of leaders struggle is setting clear expectations with their team. Which leads to a lot of other issues. Let's straighten that out.

Cornerstone 1

Develop Your Leadership Mindset

We’ll work on uncovering the toxic narratives you have about leading a team and areas you might be getting in your own way, then work on creating a healthier mindset.


Cornerstone 5

Individual + Team Accountability

It's not about being "mean" or "bossy." It's about working together as a team to accomplish goals. Don't worry, I'll teach you how to do it in a way that feels good.

Cornerstone 2

Getting Out of the Weeds

If you often find yourself stuck in the weeds, this cornerstone is for you. We'll identify what's not working and create healthier habits to focus on what's most important.


Cornerstone 6

Difficult Conversations

Because if you have a team, you will have to have difficult conversations. I'll equip you with strategies and advice to make these conversations easier.

Cornerstone 3

Communication Basics

Yes, it's just the basics. BUT do you have the basics down? The answer I find most often is no. And sometimes, you just don't realize it. We'll get those basics solid!


Cornerstone 7

Creating Momentum

In this final cornerstone, we dive into how to best support your team. From making recognition a regular part of your day to creative ways to build momentum with your team.

In their words...

“Ashley exceeded my expectations! She is incredibly knowledgeable, has a genuine interest in what she does and she understood how I needed her help. She can help you "handle" any HR issue that you have.” Heather Pranitis, Number Nerd Bookkeeping

“Ashley guided the conversation, listening and asking questions and then gave me clear feedback on where I need to be focusing and what I need to do next. She also offered me some valuable tips that I will be implementing immediately. All this with a smile and a sincere good heart.” Rivka Malka, Rivka Malka 

 “I cannot say enough good things. She's providing a service that is SO needed in our community: HR consulting for small biz owners like us that don't really have access to someone who's skilled in handling or advising HR and personnel matters. She is truly amazing and she totally put my heart at ease.” Cindy Maka, Cindy Maka Co.

 “Ashley has that wonderful combination of knowledgeable and professional but also is friendly and a pleasure to work with in all ways. She is an excellent communicator and a detail-oriented person. She will go the extra mile to make sure you have all of the information you need to be successful.” Angie Hyche, Shipshape Solutions

 “My favorite part about working with Ashley was her affirming, relaxed and confident manner at a moment of stress. Ashley is a quick study, a good listener and a helpful guide.” - Lallie Lloyd, All Our Children National Network

 “My biggest fear was that the process would be complicated and that I wouldn't get the help I needed. None of those things were true! It doesn't have to be complicated. Ashley makes it painless.” - Stacy Herman Lang, Lang Accounting Services

FAQs

Because sometimes, you’ve just got a feeeeewww more questions to ask! 😉

Couldn’t I just learn all this online...for free?

Sure! But how’s that been workin’ out for ya? Listen, it’s all out there in one form or another. But I imagine you’ve landed on this page because you’re looking for something more, right? You’re tired of wasting a ton of time Googling #allthethings, reading stacks of books and listening to every podcast under the sun trying to figure out this whole leadership thing on your own. You’re ready to get some focused help with constructive feedback so you too can become a confident leader. No more messing around!

Is this program for new or experienced leaders?

Experienced leaders will get the most out of this program. You need to have a few forehead-slapping moments of your own to see what's working (because we're all good at something on our leadership journey!) and what's not. This program is here to help you solidify the things that work and help you correct the things that have driven you off-course. So, if you’ve had your fair share of “Oops! Did I do thaaaatt?!” moments, ala 1990’s Steve Urkel-style, then you’re in the right place. I’ll help you learn from those challenges, implement solid strategies and create better practices that will have you leading like a pro in no time!

I’m not sure I can invest this much right now...is there another option?

My question to you is, “Can you afford to keep doing what you’re doing and getting the results you’ve been getting?” If you answered no, then it’s time to make a change, my friend. By working with me, you’re getting the shortcut to over 12 years of trials, tribulations, and tears leading teams. You’re tapping into my years of training, education, and certifications. And you’re getting all the heart and soul I’ve poured into this career - my passion - for more than a decade. Becoming an effective and powerful leader, who your team trusts and respects, takes all of these things, plus commitment. If you’re not ready to invest and do the work, then Next-Level Leader isn’t the right option for you. And that's okay too. I want to make sure this is the right time and the right program to help you reach your big goals!

This seems like a lot - which is awesome - but how much time is this going to take? I don’t have a lot to spare!

I get it! It seems like a huge commitment and a ton of extra time - but I promise, it’s not. Each cornerstone video lesson will be about 10 -15 minutes in length and the corresponding worksheet will take you about an hour or so to complete. Weekly Facebook live sessions will be no longer than 30 minutes, but they’re totally optional. And jumping into CEO conversations with your fellow classmates in the Facebook Group can take as little, or as much, time as you have available. Finally, you can expect the live Zoom "hot seat" calls to last a bit longer. These will depend on how many people want to talk through something they're struggling with. And again, this is totally optional. In total, you can expect to spend anywhere from an hour to two hours per week working through the activities in Next-Level Leader (depending on your participation level). Yes, it’s going to take some time out of your week to get the full benefit of the program. BUT, by investing in yourself now, you’ll learn lifelong skills to help you become more confident, effective and powerful, so you can lead a stronger team and run a more successful business - meaning a huge time savings for you in the long run. How’s that for a little motivation?! 😉

I’m still not sure I’m cut out for this whole leadership thing.

I know, it can be a pretty intimidating experience! When I led my first team, I was fresh out of college and only 21 years old. Most of my employees were 2 and 3 times my age - and had been working with the company for 30+ years. If I can overcome that obstacle, I assure you my friend, we can help you get over yours! Thoughts like this are so common and they generally come from a place of fear. Fear comes from the unknown. It also rises up inside of us when we aren’t equipped for the situation we’re facing. Inside Next-Level Leader, we’re going to be assessing your challenges, evaluating gaps in your knowledge and training, providing educational and experiential learning components, and giving you a safe place to work out all the fears, worries, doubts and insecurities you have. And we’ll be building up your confidence along the way!

What if this just doesn’t work for me? Can I get a refund?

I’m so confident that you’ll see results, that I offer a 30-Day Risk Free Guarantee. Feel completely safe and secure as you place your order, knowing you can get a full refund at any time in the next 30 days if you decide that Next-Level Leader just isn't for you. But there is one catch! Next-Level Leader only works if you do. So before a refund is issued, I ask that you send me your worksheets and meet with me to discuss what's not working for you. If you've done the work and the program just isn't cutting it for you, I'll happily refund what you've paid. I promise to be fair and honest in the refund process and ask that you do the same when requesting one. Fair? Just email me at hello@sprouthr.co to request your refund.

I have another question that’s not answered here. How do I get in touch?

I’d love to make sure this program is the best fit for you, so let’s chat! You can email your questions to me directly at hello@sprouthr.co or you can book a call with me here to discuss the program in more detail to make sure it’s the best fit for you. Confidentiality and privacy are very important to me, so you can rest assured that I’ll be the only one looking at and responding to your emails.
