Five stars! Ashley is warm and welcoming! She doesn’t sugar coat anything and tells the honest truth. At our session, she really took her time and went into detail not just about how to defend yourself, but the objects that you would want to have: such as a tourniquet, flashlight and pepper spray. She makes sure that you leave having a better understanding of how to protect yourself.
-Myah
Talk about amazing! I learned so much about self defense in such a short amount of time. Ashley took her time in answering questions and demonstrating lifesaving techniques. I would recommend Ashley and look forward to my next session!
-Terri (Myah's mom)
My daughter is a Junior at a large University and it's not located in the best part of town. Ashley pointed to the best type of defense products (pepper spray and a body alarm) and met with her to provide training on personal safety. I feel much more at peace knowing my daughter has these products and knows how to use them. Ashely was really good at relating to my daughter and understanding her needs.
-Leon
Ashley is very knowledgeable when it comes to protecting yourself from any kind of situation. I didn't have any experience with security, so we met up one day and she showed me how I would de-escalate situations if they were ever to arise, how to be aware of my surroundings and keep a safe personal distance, and how to be authoritative (kind but firm) with my verbal commands. She also suggested some equipment that would prove very useful when working in the field, or even just when I am out by myself in the general public. She definitely knows her stuff and her experience shows in her work. I would recommend her if you have questions, situations, or just curious about things when it comes to self defense, security, executive protection.
-Jenna
Thank you so much for you assistance today, and for all of your hard work and dedication. Without you, this project would have been a real "mess”.
Thanks again!!

Ashley, I want to thank you for calling me last night. I really appreciate an open and honest discussion. This WIN7 project is going to be around for a LONG time and I look forward to working with you! I made some incorrect assumptions earlier and I will not make those in the future. It took a lot for you to call me last night, that impressed me!!
- Rob, Project Manager

I want to thank you for all of the assistance you have provided to us these last few days. Being new to the SR system for hardware orders, I quickly learned there was a lot I didn't know. You stepped me through the process so patiently. You provided immediate turn-around and helped find the elusive piece of hardware. You are a pleasure to work with and your knowledge around this process is extremely valuable for such a large effort.
- Lori, Technology Manager
Wells Fargo
Sorry, but you can't go. You finally got me so well trained!! I can't possibly get my stuff to make sense to anyone else... in the world! Seriously, we didn't work together much, but I really have enjoyed the time. Hopefully we can get this order all the way through approval before you leave! Michael better be as much fun as you!

Although I have only worked with Ashley for a short time, her professionalism and process acumen for our enterprise wide migration project has been outstanding. I would highly recommend/endorse her for any project.
- Ted, Technical Project Manager
Wells Fargo
Ashley had a vital role in heading up hardware readiness for our migration project. Her skills of building, organizing and maintaining very complex spreadsheets, as well as, overall documentation on the proper process were invaluable. Throughout this initiative, Ashley was available to assist in any possible way with questions or concerns. Several times, Ashley would walk my Line of Business contacts through complex processes to give them the security of completing the necessary tasks. They would constantly call her directly with questions and concerns. Her energetic personality matched with her great talents and skill sets keep her motivated and on task. I would not hesitate to hire her.
- Katrinka, Project Manager

I did a previous review for Ashley. My narrative describing her wit, charm and knowledge of real estate sales and a caring lifestyle, quest for justice, and active help for homeless veterans still stand. Her clarity on personal responsibility still stand. She is a woman with a feminine heart that confronts macho attitudes that are hurtful. There is one item different from my last review. Ashley's negotiation skills are off the chart. She is five stars twice over in that area. I know because I am owner of a house that I got for a third less than I was thinking about paying. Thank you Ashley. You are the best.

Ashley said she would help us close on just the right house for us… and she did. This was the first time we used a realtor and we couldn’t have been more pleased. She listened carefully to us, showed us many beautiful homes within our specifications, and was diligent, patient, and always accommodating. She explained fully the complex details of considering and buying a home; protecting our interests all through the process. Home buying can be a stressful process but Ashley was very supportive; at the same time she made it FUN. Most important, she helped us buy the home we wanted. We are grateful for her professionalism, integrity, the results, and especially her sense of humor. We are so very glad she was our realtor. Krys and Gary Lange

She is very attentive. I never have to wait for a response. She is really interested in finding me the best house for ME. Never feel pressured. She only wants to sell me a house that is exactly what I want. She has been very flexible with the timings of showings. I have always felt that I could call her day and night and she would respond. She has made me feel like she is only interested in my needs. She really wants me to have an emotional connection to the places she shows me. I am picky and she has never once seems annoyed by it. She reschedules without a word when problems come up with my schedule. She is really a great person to work with.

Ashley was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the buying process, after looking at only a few homes she was able to discern what exactly our taste preferences for a home were. My questions were always answered in a timely manner no matter the time of day. She knew how to push for things that benefit her clients, in our case she was able to talk the seller into paying for a radon system. Over all we were very satisfied with Ashley's services and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home.

Ashley is great in all of these categories. She has worked hard in helping me find and purchase my first home. She puts the interests of her clients ahead of anything else and makes sure you are comfortable with any decision you need to make. She is very thorough with her work in making sure you are informed with everything you need to know and goes the extra mile to make sure you are happy with your decisions at the end of the day. On top of all that, she is a very enthusiastic person and very easy to get along with. I would recommend having her as your Realtor any day.

Ashley is genuinely interested in helping find the perfect house for me and has actually made the home search process enjoyable. She is a very good listener and will never pressure you into anything you are uncomfortable with. She is a hard worker and fantastic to work with - I recommend Ashley to anyone needing a realtor.

She helped me out and showed me couple listings online. She also educated me on different kind of mortgages and what would be best to get. She did a great job and she is friendly. I had to back out on finding a home but I will contact her when I'm ready to purchase.

Ashley cared about us as a buyer and cared about our wants and needs. Even though our wants and needs were impossible at times, she tried her best to please. Customer satisfaction. We would use her again. :)

Of all of the services I have used at Wakonda Club, I feel that the work done by Ashley and her company was second to none. We had Ashley secret shop all departments of the club for a summer and used the feedback she provided to help improve all service levels. We are still using the reports to train our staff in service areas. My experience with Ashley is really something that I would recommend to anyone.

One of the challenges of growth in business is managing that growth and our space and how we use it. After 5 years our team had been so busy growing the business we needed someone to help us step back to take a look at how we were using our office space, filing systems, and also those nooks and crannies where we all tend to be collectors. Ashley was a great help to the team, and a year later we are still using her recommendations!

Thank YOU for helping put organization back into my office. In the first two days of working in my now organized office about an hour of productivity was gained each day. The expense will be recovered in a couple of weeks, and the return on the investment will at least be 10 times over just the next few months.
Getting my office organized means I now have more time for the work involved in serving the community. This organized state could have never been achieved without Ashley's knowledge, ingenuity and hands-on help to see this through.

Ashley is a fantastic coach and strategist.
If you’re stuck and looking for accountability, a business coach, a personal organizer, a life coach, a research guru…she’s your go to! She was a tremendous help in getting me out of a stuck place and on to a new phase of my life when we first met - my first call to her was in search of an organizer for my home and in-home office that was out of control.
She helped me find a system that worked for me and still works everywhere I live.

Ashley made our fundraising event perfect! We have not had a lot of experience in the past with organizing and executing large events. Her professionalism and organizational skills shined as she helped with every little detail making our fundraising dimer a success!!
- Paul Sodders, Public Affairs Manager

Ashley did an excellent job in organizing this event. She successfully switched it from an untenable original format and smoothly handled all the details. I had to do very little except "show up". And, she kept right on the established budget. Thanks for pulling all of it together.

I was a little skeptical regarding the Celtic Women, but they were awesome! Great choice. Thank you for all of your work, I know it was less than ideal at times!
-Brett
I loved the Celtic women. The restaurant was good. Thanks for your help. I know it was a bit crazy. My favorite part was the wine and cheese at younkers w/ the pedicure. My friend and I were there for 3 hours and did the makeup too. That was a great idea. I really liked that. The golfers liked the golf as they always do!

Thank You - Thank you - Thank you!
You really are amazing. This year's telethon was a huge success in part to Volunteers, like yourself, who gave up an entire weekend to help Iowa's Kids.
The Money raised will give hope to those whose lives seem hopeless, love to those who feel unloved and help to the helpless. It was great working with you. I couldn't have made my first telethon without you.
-Rita
We love you!
Words cannot begin to express our gratitude to you for all that you did to make Telethon 2007 a success.
Thank you! - you are a treasure and we are so happy that you want to be involved with us.
Looking forward to a Prosperous year!
-Rita
Once again, we have pulled it off!
Another telethon under our belts. Whew! you truly are amazing. Thank you for your time & dedication to the kids of Iowa. We at Variety appreciate you so much.
March 7-8, 2009, Mark your calendar!

I immediately recognized that Ashley was a passionate, engaged, focused and committed problem solver that was dedicated to developing herself professionally and personally. It was based on our initial meeting, more than 12 years ago, that I was moved to ensure that Ashley would become a member of my Customer Resolution pilot team.
Ashley proved to be a highly motivated, self-starter that was quick to learn and exceptionally capable of applying her knowledge to a broad array of issues. Ashley could be relied on to manage multiple tasks with constantly changing priorities and/or deadlines with a positive attitude and successful outcomes. Ashley is very resourceful, using her expert communication and relationship building skills to construct a very reliable network of contacts that continue to allow her to succeed where others fail or fear to tread.
Ashley has met each challenge head-on and without hesitation, I would hire Ashley for any challenge she commits to. I know that I can count on Ashley to deliver top notch results that I could rely on no matter the circumstance. I believe Ashley’s attributes, charisma and leadership make her a revolutionary problem solver. Ashley makes an excellent addition to any individual, team, or organization looking for desirable changes!

We had purchased furniture of a substantial amount from a very reputable and widely known retailer. In a span of two months we experienced multiple quality problems with the furniture and even after they made two house calls for unrelated repairs, the furniture broke yet again. We naturally called the company and asked for some assistance, some consultation from the service department, but that didn't happen. We were given the run around and just when we started to feel like we would have to accept our losses I remembered Ashley.
I called Ashley, she told me to not worry and she would take care of it. Thirty minutes later Ashley called to tell me she had spoken with the manager and we had free rein of the showroom. Ashley met us at the store and made sure we received the attention we deserved. She did it in a very respectful demeanor towards the company making the entire experience pleasurable for everyone.
I believe Ashley’s skills and confidence made the end result possible. I also believe that because the company was approached by a fearless and competent professional hired by us, we were no longer seen as some isolated customer that could be pushed around, but rather a force to reckon with, making them stand to attention. She's good, she's more affordable and easier to work with than a lawyer or small claims court!

I just wanted to let you know how things went with the surprise. I arranged for a friend to hold the gift bag and sit in front of us. We have a time in our service when people share concerns or joys. I stood up and said, "Twenty-five years ago this Wednesday, God blessed me when Michele agreed to marry me. Sometimes I wonder why she agreed because I didn't have much and the saddest part was that she paid for our wedding rings. That's always bothered me and someday I'll have to do something about that."
She already had tears in her eyes at this time. Then I said, "Why not today?" Then my friend in front of us handed me the gift bag. I took out the box, bent down and opened it. She was so excited I didn't even get a chance to put it on her finger. She grabbed the ring (out of excitement, not greedily) and put it on her hand. Then there was an extended applause from the congregation.
I had many compliments from the women all saying how sweet it was and how it made them cry. And I was chastised by the men for raising the bar for them, but all in fun.
Thank you so much for your assistance!

Tom and I had a WONDERFUL Valentine's celebration. If you had anything to do with my beautiful necklace and presentation, you did a fantastic job. He 's very secretive about the whole thing. ;)

My wife's birthday would not have been as special without your help! She had seen a quilt at a friend's house, and she fell in love with it! With her birthday and Christmas on the way, I thought it would be the perfect gift, but I didn't know where to find it. You found just what I was looking for and more - all the bedding and linens to make our bedroom complete, and my wife's birthday perfect.
-Rick
You asked for feedback on what we thought about the surprise gifts. It felt like Christmas to all of us. We enjoyed peeking into the sacks to discover our goodies. Each and every one of us were excited and shared with each other what was in our sacks. Ashley, the gifts were very nice, packaged very pretty and very fun to receive. They were so nice to receive as a reward for our open/close ratio for October. Thanks!
-Gwen, Banker
Hi Ashley...she was totally delighted! I was on the phone with her as she walked around discovering everything. You did a fabulous job - we really liked the little touch of laundering the towels and pillow cases. I could see all the photos, thanks a lot...I know Pat will keep your card for her future purposes, and thanks again for doing such a great job on very short notice.
-Linda
Know you are glad to be "rid of us". :) Thank you so much for your patience. We felt mom needed to be pleased with her apartment to aid in her emotional acceptance of this move...hence we were "difficult" to please at times. Take Care!
-Bonnie
Ashley has a special gift for finding those important items that just seem to make life better. I was amazed at how well she was able to select items that matched with my ideas. She interacted professionally with everyone, and it is obvious she has created a valuable network of resources and uses them to her clients' advantage. Two thumbs up for Ashley!
-Shel
I have known Ashley since she was a student in my Introductory Financial Management course in the Fall of 2010. My class sizes are large - I teach approximately 400 to 600 students each semester -- so it is rare that I become well-acquainted with individual students. Ashley is one of the exceptions. Ashley consistently performed well in my class in terms of grades. More impressive to me though, is that she stood out at the time, and still does, as one of the most enthusiastic and conscientious students I've ever had the pleasure to have in my classes.
While the large lecture nature of my classes is not conducive to a high level of interaction during class, Ashley clearly demonstrated to me in our discussions outside of class that she had a genuine interest in learning the material for reasons beyond achieving a certain grade. She was continually making an effort to make connections across the topics she was learning in different classes, and even brought me some of the materials from her other classes because she thought I might be interested in them.
She strikes me as an extraordinarily quick learner, with the drive and ambition to succeed both academically and in her work life. I also appreciate Ashley’s candid and straightforward communication style, which I find to be both a great asset and very refreshing. In short, I think Ashley’s academic qualifications, work experience and skills, high degree of self motivation, and personality make her a valuable asset.

As a customer, I saw Ashley take an empty building, fill it with stock and arrange it so that it was not only customer friendly but extremely attractive to both young and old alike.
As a third party observer I watched Ashley train and develop my nephew into an extremely customer service orientated employee. In my observation of her as a manager, I thought she was very conscientious towards developing these skills within her staff. I guess that's why I like patronizing her store.
It is my opinion that Ashley possesses the necessary skills to be a success in any of her pursuits, whether it is business or simply life's pursuits in general.
