Speaking & Leadership Development

Bring A Leader's Energy Into the Room

Dr. John L. Ashby III brings together decades of leadership experience, higher education, ministry, communication, and organizational leadership to create conversations that are practical, engaging, and relevant.

He speaks to colleges and universities, churches, conferences, leadership teams, professional organizations, faculty and staff, and emerging leaders on leadership energy, communication, opportunity, mentoring, diversity, organizational culture, and legacy.

Leadership should not only sound good in the room—it should give people something they can use when they leave the room.

The A Leader's Energy Experience

More Than a Speech. A Conversation.

Dr. Ashby's presentations combine scholarship, leadership experience, storytelling, humor, audience engagement, and practical application.

The goal is not simply to give people more information. The goal is to create conversations that cause people to examine how they lead, how they communicate, how they develop others, and what kind of environment they create around them.
