About
Hello, my name is Ashley Holloway
I'm a Digital Specialist, Sports Enthusiast, Agile Coach, Sports Coach and Women's Empowerment Coach. I've worked in the Digital Industry for over 15 years and have a passion to help young adults (and growing adults!) to thrive. Want to get to know me more? Read below or feel free to contact me - I'd love to hear from you!
Services
Just a couple key services I offer
Speaking Events
I enjoy working closely with like-minded collaborators! Some examples of my previous engagements:
-
Guest Speaker at Schools, inspiring the next generation of Girls in their STEM journey with bespoke content
-
Guest Speaker at professional events, focusing on topics like Women in Digital, Agile Project Management and general Career discussions
-
Host and panellist for key events such as International Women's Day, Racism in Sport and Women in Tech
​
Whether it's small groups or larger groups, an event session or multiple days, on site or virtual - I'd love to talk more.
Mentorship Program
A mentor is a wonderful ally, and quite a powerful opportunity for any young girl or working adult looking for support and guidance. It's something I wish I had going through High School and Uni, and thus something I'm passionate about.
​
Previously I've worked with mentee's in the following structures:
-
1-to-1 weekly, fortnightly or monthly
-
Small groups - subset or whole classes and Sports teams
-
Short programs (1-5 days) with focus areas and learnings as relevant
-
Long programs (6-12 weeks) - On-going cadence, structured program or regular drop in sessions
Focus areas
A few topics I'm passionate about
01
IT & Digital
Having Studied Information Technology in High School and University, and with over 15 years of experience working within the Technology and Digital Industries, I've equipped myself with valuable knowledge, experiences and learnings. I share these stories, insights and honest advice to many looking to get into or are already within these fields, with particular focus on working with Girls and Women in these areas, to guide and inspire them. It's a brilliant and ever-evolving landscape to work in, and my goal is to see more Women and minority groups working here!
02
Sport
I'm passionate about Sport and have been involved since the age of 4. I'm a Woman in Sport, who actively and successfully played Tennis, Football, Rugby, AFL, Touch and All-Star Cheerleading. I teach the power of mindset and how that is just as important as our bodies, as well as how the vast skills gained from participating in Sport are highly transferable - like communication, empathy and leadership. Having been a proud Captain and Successful Coach of many Teams, I now take great joy in talking to Teams to share learnings and help pave pathways for future Girls and Women in Sport.
03
Women Empowerment
Look, I've had my fair share of adversity, and thus have had to have a Growth Mindset. Honestly, it's been a tough but beautiful journey. That's why I became an Empowerment and Mindset Coach - it's important to empower other Women, support their unique journeys, positively contribute and ultimately help them gain momentum and meaningful fulfilment.
04
Critical life skills
I was born to be a Big Sister. It's something that has brought me the most joy in this life. And a lot of the 'Big Sister Teachings' comes from life skills and experiences that just aren't taught in School. Think transferable skills, goal setting, career exploration, personal branding, job interviews, decision making, strategic thinking, communication skills and emotional intelligence, just to name a few.
