About Dr. Ashley Thomas
I am a life, executive, and academic coach with a deep passion for helping individuals and organizations uncover and live out their unique purpose.
With a Ph.D. focused on the transformative power of purpose in life and one of only 50 people in the world certified as a WHY Coach through Simon Sinek, my work is grounded in both academic research and
real-world impact.
My coaching is built around intentionality, guiding you to explore who you are at your core, what drives you, and how to align your decisions with a deeper sense of meaning.
Whether you are seeking to navigate a life transition, elevate your leadership, or reconnect with your “why,” I’m here to walk that journey with you.
This work is more than a profession—it's my calling. It is a privilege to witness people awaken to their potential and create lives and careers with clarity, courage, and conviction.
I have seen, firsthand, how gaining clarity of purpose can create profound shifts in confidence, leadership, relationships, and overall well-being.
If you are ready to live and lead with purpose, I would be honored to be your partner in that process.

"Discovering my WHY was truly an epiphany experience that provided me with complete realization and clarity about what drives my very being. Through that discovery, I have gained newfound confidence and motivation, reigniting my passion for life and empowering me to not only reach for but also take on new opportunities that would have seemed improbable me before. By not focusing on and stressing about the "WHAT" and allowing my "WHY" to guide what I do, the exhausting weight self-doubt and anxiety has been lifted, giving me the freedom and inspiration to create my own beauty in the world."
