Ready for More? Your Path to Purpose Begins Here.

Have you ever felt that nagging whisper inside, telling you you're meant for something greater, even if unseen barriers seem to get in the way? Maybe you know exactly what those obstacles are, or perhaps you just feel their weight without being able to put them into words.

Are you standing at a crossroads in your life, sensing a quiet pull for "more," but truly unsure how to get there? It's perfectly normal to feel hesitant about that next step, or even to wonder what that next step is.

And for the leaders out there, are you noticing a dip in motivation, engagement, or, perhaps most concerningly, retention among your team? You know a thriving team is essential, but figuring out how to foster that deeper connection to their work can be a real puzzle.

What if there was a clearer path forward? What if you had a dedicated partner to help you identify and navigate these personal crossroads, organizational challenges, and all the big "unknowns" that come with life's significant transitions?

My Story: From Personal Insight to Your Purpose

I am Dr. Ashley Thomas, and I started Elevanna Coaching & Consulting because I'm deeply passionate about helping people – and the organizations they're part of – truly unlock their fullest potential.

My journey to becoming a coach began during my Ph.D. research. I spent years diving deep into human behavior and how organizations work, and what I found truly transformed my perspective: the incredible power that comes from truly understanding your individual purpose in life. I saw that this isn't just about feeling good yourself; it creates a powerful ripple effect, positively impacting everything around you, especially in your workplace.

I witnessed firsthand how getting clear on your purpose could dramatically shift your confidence, your leadership style, your relationships, and your overall well-being. In fact, a personal experience I had in 2018 at a professional development conference cemented this for me. It profoundly underscored the power of understanding my own individual purpose. My research, combined with this personal revelation, showed me that we can look at life's tough moments not as setbacks, but as chances to uncover the resilience and purpose that have uniquely shaped who we are today. This profound understanding is why I felt compelled to create Elevanna Coaching & Consulting.

Your Purpose, Unlocked: My Coaching Philosophy

At Elevanna, the heart of my practice lies in the undeniable power that comes when you truly become aware of your purpose. But here's the thing: knowing your purpose is just the beginning. The real magic happens when we work together to identify and clear away the barriers that stop you from living that purpose authentically and unapologetically.

I've had the privilege of seeing my clients walk away with a profound sense of growth, confidence, and empowerment. Some have even told me that, for the first time in their lives, they genuinely feel proud of themselves. As your dedicated life and executive coach, I'm here to be your partner. We'll navigate those feelings of being stuck, gain clarity when things feel murky, tackle overwhelming transitions, overcome self-doubt, and ultimately help you live out your true potential without apology.

Coaching Tailored for Your Journey

My coaching practice is designed for individuals and organizations who are truly seeking "more" from their lives.

• Life Coaching: If you're navigating a big change in your life, I'm here to help you find meaning and clear direction.

• Executive Coaching: I empower leaders like you to lead with purpose, inspire your teams, and create meaningful impact. I also work with organizations, helping them align with their core purpose – which is so crucial for keeping your most valuable assets: your people.

• Academic Coaching: With over a decade of experience in academic advising and providing professional development for academic advisors in higher education, I have a deep knowledge of both the challenges of navigating education and what it takes to be successful.

• Career Coaching: Did you know that, on average, people spend approximately 90,000 hours (10.2 years) of their life working? If you are feeling unsatisfied with your work or career, this is a significant amount of your life energy being spent in that space! Let's work together to find out your deep passions and what gets you out of bed every day so that you can intentionally align your work with your purpose.

My Promise: Beyond Goals, To Your "Why"

No matter what kind of coaching journey we embark on, our partnership will always go beyond just setting goals. We'll dive deep into the profound "why" that drives them. My practice blends a robust, evidence-informed approach – directly rooted in my Ph.D. research – with a warm, highly personalized coaching style. My ultimate aim is to help you unlock not just what you do, but who you are truly meant to be.

My mission is simple: to empower you to stop simply existing and start truly living—authentically, powerfully, and purposefully.
