Ashley Freeman is the founder of Flourishing Work, where she supports leaders through facilitation and coaching. Her background started in medical research, then leadership education, and a first experience as a people leader that changed everything: she discovered how leadership theory, applied with care, can help teams flourish and improve outcomes at the same time.
In this episode, we explore purpose at work, personal brand, and trust. Ashley shares why she runs a weekly book discussion club, how leaders build others through opportunities, and why leadership is not about title but about taking care of people.
