Career and Life Transition
Individual Coaching
Elke is a seasoned professional who managed a high performing team and did excellent work. After several decades of this type of work something felt off and she was unfulled in her role.
An amazing mom and wife, Elke looked inward to ask the bigger questions, such as, “How do I want to spend the rest of my career?”, “Yes, things are great, but I sense this chapter is ending, how do I transition with intention?”
Ashlee and Elke engaged in a 3 month coaching experience where they took a deep dive into Elke’s story, thinking and behavioral patterns, and then created a map or imaginative action plan to move forward into the future they desired. Now, Elke respectfully and fully communicates, has transitioned out their role and are starting their company with the knowledge and expertise they’ve collected over the years. Having transformed her relationship with her career, organizations that now work with Elke can experience her innate wisdom. Elke actively moved away from being stuck to carrying a plan for the new season of her career path.
In Her Words

Earlier this year I knew I needed a coach to help me work through some big decisions, including a career transition and overall shift in priorities.
I needed someone in my corner to push me and challenge me to be true to myself,
and that is what I got in my three month coaching experience with Ashlee at Sway Leadership.
I initially found Sway and Ashlee through looking for coaches who work with the Enneagram, which Ashlee is certified in and expert at applying to help generate self-awareness and pattern deconstruction.
Working with Ashlee was a very positive experience.
I always felt heard and respected; Ashlee was always 100% present and without judgement; she honored what I shared with her, and helped me celebrate my growth.
She knew how to support me with my big transition, from making a decision through following through and what came next.
The exercises and prompts in between sessions helped me self-reflect and move forward. Each time Ashlee gave me homework it was perfectly timed with where I was.
Lastly, questions such as, ‘What posture do you want to have when you talk to this person?’ helped me own the moment and adopt a new mindset, helping me feel empowered and confident to authentically show up to crucial moments in my life.
I am very grateful for finding Ashlee and Sway and would recommend them without hesitation. Ashlee is incredibly gifted and a joy to work with.
