EMPOWER

What allows us to thrive? How do we navigate challenges, realize our potential, and find meaning in what we do? These questions have shaped Ashley Johnson's life and career.

​

A professional equestrian athlete, entrepreneur, and coach for more than two decades, Ashley has experienced firsthand the intersection of mindset, resilience, and performance. Her curiosity about the science behind human potential led her to pursue an ALM in Psychology from Harvard University, an MS in human performance, and a Ph.D. focused on leadership from the University of Florida.

​

Today, Ashley brings together her academic research, professional experience, and passion for helping others through Empower Performance Coaching. Working at the intersection of performance psychology and leadership development, she helps individuals cultivate self-awareness, navigate uncertainty, and develop the confidence and clarity to pursue what matters most. Her work also extends to Horses Lead™, an experiential leadership development program that explores what horses can teach us about ourselves and how we lead.

​

At the heart of her work is a simple belief: thriving is not merely about achieving more, but about living and performing with greater purpose, intention, and perspective.
