Dr. Stacey Ashley, CSP

People describe me as the leader’s leader. The person who can help to make the complex simple. Able to offer the simple, practical, next step, in a strategic context. The person leaders lean on when they are facing situations and circumstances that are at the same time challenging, exciting, offering opportunity, and often moving through uncharted territory. A pathfinder if you like.

Today, I describe myself as a leadership visionary. I am focused on future proofing CEOs. Their leadership, their people, and their organisations. It is about leadership. Of self, of your tribe, and your world. I believe leaders have a fundamental responsibility to lead. No more placeholding a spot on the organisation chart. It is about navigating with intention through the unknowns that are part of the complex we operate in. It is about leading possibility.

This means leaders need to learn and grow, to experiment, to develop others and to stretch beyond what they thought possible. To continuously create capability, to question, to explore, to advocate, to innovate, to disrupt. Leadership today, requires a proactive approach. No more relying on yesterday’s performance. Our world moves too fast for yesterday’s success to guarantee a future.

I am focused on futureproofing CEOs. Their leadership, their people, and their organisations. With over 30 years’ experience, I have helped 1000’s to develop their leadership competence, confidence, and credibility so they can:

? Build the practical foundations for effective leadership

? Get out of the trenches, to lead strategically & with influence

? Transition quickly and effectively to leading larger, more complex portfolios

? Effectively lead change and transformation

? Create a leadership coaching capability

? Create the space to lead, for greater influence and impact

? Create HP executive teams – enabling rather than impeding progress.

? Develop horizon thinking



I typically speak at conferences, develop leadership strategy, and programs, consult, and coach with clients in Australia and all over the world.

APAC 2022 Conference Chairman

"We all know how instrumental an MC plays in a world-class conference, and it’s a world-class international coaching conference. As chair for APAC2022 which was held virtually on December 9-10, I felt privileged and lucky in choosing Stacey as our MC, and she performed her role extraordinarily well: natural, calm, prepared, controlled, pointed, and exhibiting a profound self-confidence.

With her indispensable contribution, the conference has been hailed as a sweeping success. Thank you Stacey for helping make the event tick and for our great partnership!"



SIM DHILLON

Regional Talent & Culture Manager

Accor Hotels

"I couldn’t recommend Stacey more highly. Her communication from the moment the enquiry was sent online was incredible – from personal phone calls, consultations and programs sent to us promptly. She supported our planning in the lead up to the workshop and was in regular communication to ensure we were all on the same page.

She tailored the program to support our specific needs and the topics she covered were relevant to the current climate many leaders are working in. Our group left armed with tangible actions we could implement in both our work life and personal life. It has changed the way we work and think – thank you Stacey!"
