let's get started
Feeling overwhelmed? Spinning lots of plates but not impacting what matters most?
I coach busy people – individuals and teams – to confirm all the items you're currently juggling; then assess your unique skills, abilities & priorities,
to create a realistic, focused plan to be more effective going forward -- consistently making progress in the areas that matter most to You.
I also help those who want to go a step deeper, find practical ways
to integrate your faith & values into your overall plan,
bringing alignment to all aspects of your life.
If you’re constantly stressed trying to juggle everything, and you know you don’t want to spend one more week doing the same task(s) in the same way it’s time to reach out and work with an expert to establish a new way of life.
Let's turn the chaos into Calm & Focus
Individuals – as a Life Organization Coach, I will help you to Confirm reality, Identify your unique skills, Prioritize what matters, Create a realistic plan, and then Align your processes - to get FULLY FOCUSED.
Groups – I work with teams, organizations, churches and non-profits, to look at current work flows, learn the value of each team member's skills and discover how to work more efficiently & effectively together.
The Process
Using my 20+ years of experience with corporate teams and coaching business relationships, I have found that many of the same tools and processes – such as value ranking, brainstorming, process mapping and assessments – can help each person find innovative solutions that are uniquely designed for them. So I’ll use those practical tools - in a 6 or 8 week program - to help you confirm what works best for you or your team, where you are right now and into the future.
About Me
Leah Ashford, CPC
Coaching is my passion. Through the years, in different roles in HR, I found that coaching individuals through personal feedback, finding practical solutions for significant change, was my joy.
I also thrive on helping challenged teams establish strong respectful relationships and gain alignment to achieve their goals.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Religious Education from Prairie Bible College, and worked for several non-profit mission organizations before joining Gallo in 1997, focused on training & employee development. I have experience in Leadership Development, Talent Management, Performance Management, and Corporate Training. I have now stepped out on my own to provide coaching and teambuilding for people and organizations that might not otherwise receive that support.
I am a Certified Professional Coach through iPec, accredited by the International Coaching Federation.
I also love to try out new restaurants with friends, discover what's around the corner in a new city, visit family across the country and volunteer in my great community.

additional coaching
Faith Coaching
If you feel like you're struggling with your faith, after these past few overwhelming years...
I would be happy to provide a space where you can be real about your faith journey - with no judgement and no pressure - just confirming where you're at right now, and then helping you define what it will look like for you to live out your faith authentically going forward.
We’ll look at what you want, don’t want, struggle with, and value - to then define three key areas – your faith focus, your faith practices, and your faith community - so you can rebuild a vibrant, growing relationship with God and establish consistent life rhythms of faith.
