    I help coaches, healers & spiritual entrepreneurs take their brilliance from IDEA to LAUNCH to create both INCOME + IMPACT You know that book you keep talking about writing? That course or group program that is just begging to be birthed into the world? The excitement and desire to build a massive audience on TikTok? How’s that been going for you? I can see you now, waking up and looking at your Google calendar to see what’s ahead for your day…. You’ve got four 1:1 client sessions and a strategy call. Everything you used to visualize and want SO badly in the early days of your business. But now… it has you feeling exhausted. Overworked. Bored AF staring at zoom all day. And wondering… Is this it? Does my impact end here? Look, I get it. I see it time and time again with my clients. And consistently these are the THREE reasons that you’re all IDEAS and no ACTION…. You’ve got too many great ideas - You’re a multi-passionate badass who is amazing and powerful at so many things, and it’s got you going in too many directions but not fully committed and “all in” on any of them The excuse that you don’t know WHAT to do or HOW to do it - You can Google anything these days, so this one isn’t even valid. It’s simply an old story that keeps you in the same place The overwhelm of where to begin & showing up consistently until completion - Beginning is the hardest part, and if there is some unconscious part of you that doesn’t feel ready to move forward [and there almost always is] nothing will ever get done. Because that group program you’ve intended to create for literally the last two years hasn’t made it beyond the pages of your journal. And it will never become a reality unless you massively interrupt your pattern and introduce an entirely different approach to your business. The Unique Magic that I bring as a coach, is blending strategic action with the power of the unseen - law of attraction, intuition and the ability to tap into the energetic (and unconscious) components of you and your business. I can help you with your brand identity, your offers, and even with the structure of your group program… but none of this matters unless you keep moving forward. In addition to the strategy, consider me your creative business doula. I can’t birth your brilliance into the world for you… But I can hold you accountable for the commitment you made to yourself. I can see through the BS stories that have kept you stuck and move you beyond them. And I can take what feels massively complicated and overwhelming and turn it into clear actions and consistent movement forward. There will be days that you doubt yourself and you question everything. When you’re caught in the grips of fear, or when past trauma patterning has you wanting to walk away from it all. An investment in working together, is an investment in yourself. It’s an investment in the new paradigm of your business + the impact you create showing up in an entirely different way. _____________________________________________________________________________ Here's what some of my clients are saying: "Ashley's been the biggest reason behind me being able to build a multiple six figure business" - Avi S. (Course creator & Group Coaching program) "First coaching call I had a major breakthrough and was ready to move forward" - Tara R. (Healing Center Owner) “I’m a bit scared to jinx it but, since working with her I haven’t had a single person not sign on to work with me after the initial free session. Batting a thousand.... You want her on your team!" - Andrea N. (Coach) YOUR NEXT STEP: Reach out to me today, and tell me the project or program you'd like some help getting out into the world! If it seems like a fit for my expertise, I'll offer you a free strategy session.

Today I’m down to 40 hours and working towards 30! Worth every penny." Are you tired of small, incremental improvements? Are you ready to make a REAL change in your business and your life?

A bit more about the guy behind these achievements (me!): I'm a 15-year veteran entrepreneur, I've got three 7-figure exits under my belt, I've coached & consulted over 1000 entrepreneurs. I’m not corporate. I won’t make you corporate. I challenge convention and I will challenge YOU. DISCLAIMER: Upwork makes me use my first name - but no one else does. Most people know me as S. Brian Smith, or just Brian 😁

In our sessions, we will identify and tackle what's been keeping you from your goals, uncover the roots of your procrastination, and devise strategies to overcome these hurdles while ensuring our sessions meet your individual needs, whether it's boosting confidence, developing a stronger mindset, or taking action towards what you want (maybe figuring that out too) Now, as your Confidence and Mindset Coach, I'm here to guide you through a similar profound shift. Together, we will gain radical clarity on your vision for a "dream life" and set meaningful goals that truly resonate with you, not just what others expect from you. With my background in psychology & anthropoloy, we'll tackle the self-doubts, fears, and other obstacles that have held you back. Here’s what I offer: Tailored Coaching Techniques: Using a blend of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), improvisation, and visualization, I customize our sessions to address your specific needs and aspirations. Actionable Goal Setting: We'll define clear and attainable goals that challenge and excite you, aligning perfectly with your ultimate vision for life. Boosting Confidence and Clarity: Through targeted exercises and reflective practices, I’ll enhance your decision-making and elevate your self-assurance, empowering you to seize new opportunities.

Our sessions will be a balanced mix of productivity and enjoyment, characterized by my signature blend of strategic empowerment, insightful depth, relatability, and timely humor. Say goodbye to delays, doubts, and living vicariously through others. It's your turn to step forward boldly and craft the life you truly desire. Client Success Stories: "Brian has propelled me towards realizing my fullest potential. Each session leaves me brimming with positivity and new insights that fuel my week. Brian’s ongoing support and his vibrant energy underscore his commitment—if you aim to reach your peak potential, Brian is your ideal coach." "I approached Brian feeling stuck, needing a fresh perspective on an obstacle. He not only shifted my mindset but also laid out all the necessary action steps that had previously overwhelmed me. I was astounded by our productive collaboration." "This coaching journey with Brian has been transformative, reminding me constantly of the possibilities life holds. Witnessing monumental transitions, I see more people embracing their dreams for a soul-aligned, purposeful existence. These experiences are nothing short of magnificent."

    One of the best full-service PR and communications leaders with over 20 years of corporate and agency experience working for the who's who of brands while based in Silicon Valley and Washington DC, Career spans over 130+ startups, midsize enterprises and public companies, which has included Axiom Law (the largest law firm in the world with over 15,000 attorneys on its bench), eBay, IBM, Microsoft, PayPal, Sygnified, ZEPP Health, etc. Currently, I head up global communications for one of the hottest EV sports car brands in the world, which has back orders for its EV's into 2025 and VC funding from the Bay Area. Recently launched the EV manufacturers brand in the U.S. during August 2024, resulting in direct sales stemming from a combination of tier 1 media results (i.e. Robb Report, Techcrunch, Classic Motorsports, Hemmings, etc.) and top line social media engagement that increased several thousand percent. Industry specializations include auto-tech/EV's, cyber security, fintech, health-tech, and legal/legal-tech. I've led corporate and agency integrated communication programs and teams for dozens of well-known brands that has led to feature level media coverage in almost every tier 1 media outlet with the exception of the Oprah Winfrey Show. My media relations work is so good that it helped land my client, Jim Stickley, the job of commercial pitchman (and face) for Norton's LifeLock as a result of hundreds of tier 1 print, online and broadcast stories when he was an executive at TraceSecurity. From time to time the media relations work I generate directly leads to sales for my clients, the largest one was a $1.2 million deal between my client TraceSecurity and the 2nd largest bank in Massachusetts. The bank CEO saw my client's 5 1/2 minutes NBC Today Show story and told his board about hiring the the security compliance company. From 2021 to March 2023 I was the #2 at a Bay Area high-tech PR firm. Before that I ran global PR for Red Harp, where I headed up North American PR and communications for Amazfit, a division of ZEPP Health (NYSE: ZEPP). and Phillips Water (NYSE: PHG). Outside of tech I've driven the global PR machine for Red Bull's entry (via its acquisition of the Minardi team) into Formula 1, the most watched professional sport in the world. Over 20 years of experience managing multiple vendors in the cybersecurity and fintech/finserv industries. Additional specializations in AI, Big Data, blockchain/cryptocurrency, eCommerce, infrastructure management, IoT, mobile/wireless, SaaS, vehicle telematics, and wearable tech. Background: •Over a decade of experience managing/owning a multi-state, full- service PR agency with full-time staff •Glorified Head of Communications for nearly a decade at Cellcontrol, the leading supplier of distracted driving technology •Extensive experience successfully launching tech pioneers/brands in entirely new markets (Big Data, Data Loss Prevention, Vehicle Telematics, Wearable Tech, etc.) •Master strategist in integrated communication programs both domestically and overseas •Deep experience working with cross-functional and integrated teams with both small and large enterprises in the U.S. and abroad
