Disrupt Everything Innovate for Impact Join us as Ashley shares why disruption isn’t a threat—resistance to it is. In today’s volatile marketplace, disruption is no longer an occasional event; it’s a constant reality. Market shifts, emerging technologies such as generative AI, and organizational shake-ups happen without warning. Yet it is great leadership that turns this type of uncertainty into clarity, making effective high-stakes decisions under pressure. Ashley has built a career partnering with organizations to maximize people initiatives and catalyst organizational results, as well as coaching leaders and executives to define, develop and leverage their strengths to achieve extraordinary success. With over 20 years of experience directly in leadership and organizational development, talent management, and coaching, Ashley has proven approaches, methodologies, and tools to benefit global leaders and organizations. |

TrainingPros is hosting the L&D Leader Exchange, a small-group conversation during lunch for Directors, VPs, and Heads of Learning holding the learning roadmap for their organizations. This is a facilitated conversation among peers carrying the same scope you are. The primary experience is a candid, peer-to-peer discussion focused on the issues leaders are navigating right now—what’s working, what’s changing, and where L&D teams are feeling stretched heading into 2027. The goal is to create a practical, leader-to-leader conversation where participants can compare notes, share perspectives, and hear what peers in other organizations are doing. Participants will be entered into a raffle for either a guest opportunity on the Learning Leader Spotlight Podcast or an invitation to a private national L&D benchmarking session with other learning leaders. Email TracyDee Lufkin, Relationship Manager, for further details and to reserve your seat as they are limited!
