This session invites us into conscious connection by returning to our own inner fullness- beyond comparison, beyond performance. Through reflection, presence, and shared experience, we’ll explore how authenticity and integrity are not goals, but natural states we access when we feel whole. From that place, connection at work- and everywhere- becomes more honest, easeful, and regenerative.
Ashley Davis is a rare kind of leader, one who is unafraid to be tender, raw, and deeply human. Her presence inspires confidence and trust, while creating the safety needed to explore transformative, compassionate solutions to some of the most complex challenges faced by individuals and society at large.
For more than a decade, Ashley led corporate responsibility at Cole Haan and Nike, where she coached and guided leaders, developed value-driven leadership practices, and implemented business operations designed to foster a more sustainable future. Her work focused on building shared values across the value chain and broader business ecosystem, bridging purpose and performance.
Despite her outward professional success, Ashley reached a breaking point in 2018. She discovered that relentless striving and pushing harder only deepened exhaustion, disconnection, and stagnation, both personally and in her efforts to reform the fashion industry. Through a series of inner and outer journeys, she began questioning long-held beliefs about identity, worth, and success, gradually reclaiming her intrinsic joy and sense of self.
Today, Ashley brings this lived wisdom into her work, supporting others to lead, live, and create change from a place of authenticity, compassion, and embodied presence.
