The Awakening

Alicia Ashley is highly respected for her ability to move men and women to produce results in their lives. Her vast experience in the personal growth and human potential movement has given her the reputation as an expert in the area of making dramatic changes in people's lives. Alicia brings a wealth of knowledge to her clients and seminar participants in the areas of self worth, financial freedom, sexual empowerment, effective communication, and living a life without limits. Her entertaining and active learning presentation style is enjoyed by all who attend her experiential programs. Although Alicia is living a life of freedom, power and joy today, she has certainly known all too well what it was like to have none of these. Her Mother was physically and verbally abusive to her on a regular basis into her early adult life. Her self-esteem and self-confidence were nonexistent. She eventually developed a serious eating disorder and became overweight. Alicia was no stranger to financial challenges either. After her divorce in 2001 she was on the brink of a major financial disaster when she was able to turn her finances totally around and create a six-figure income in less than a year. And she was able to do so being a single Mother devoted to spending quality time with her son in addition to traveling the nation speaking to the countries largest and most prestigious hotels and resorts. In addition to her personal empowerment seminars for women, Alicia has provided training, coaching and management consulting for thousands of individuals at numerous well-known organizations throughout the world. Her impressive list of clients includes: Ritz Carlton, MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, American Express, Microsoft, GTE, Dow Chemical, Bank of America, Ernst and Young, Fleet Bank, Comcast Cable Corporation, American Building Maintenance, Marriott, Hilton Hotels, Courtyard, Renaissance, Omni Hotels, La Quinta, KSL Desert Resorts, LesConcierges, and many others. A cum laude graduate of Pepperdine University, Alicia holds a Master of Arts degree in Behavioral Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from Central Oklahoma University. She is an active member of the American Society for Training and Development, The International Coaching Federation and The National Speakers Association. In addition to her professional endeavors, Alicia includes being a Mom to a lively seven-year old boy, walking on fire twice and completing ten, 26.2-mile marathons as some of her greatest accomplishments. No, she has never taken home the purse, and her picture has never graced the front page of a single newspaper, but she definitely practices what she preaches about living a life without limits!
