Being told, “Oh, I’ve never thought about that,” is one of the best compliments I receive as a mentor because it indicates I’m creating value and helping to broaden perspectives. I’m always curious to expand my viewpoint and enjoy helping others do that, too.
Outside of her new role at Trility, Ashley is a mentor for Drake University’s Business Accelerator Clinic. She partners with aspiring and small business owners to refine their business plans and go-to-market strategies. Her passion for guiding others is evident in her ability to encourage business owners to think about their challenges differently.
