| Meet the Team |
Our mission isn't just a professional goal—it is a vision for unity that is deeply rooted in who we are.
We understand that the strongest foundations are built on trust, shared values, and a commitment to one another. We’ve seen firsthand how unity can transform a dynamic, and we’ve dedicated our lives to bringing that same sense of connection to businesses and ministries alike.
Whether we are stepping into your boardroom to develop leaders, onto your stage to inspire a crowd, or behind the lens to capture your brand’s story, our goal remains the same: building unity one team at a time.

Ashley
Chief Executive Officer
Ashley Smalley is the Founder and CEO of Smalley Consulting
Her passion is for people to enjoy their work because they enjoy the people with whom they work, and she accomplishes this with dynamic leadership and people development strategies, including education, training, and coaching.
As a certified human resources professional, trusted consultant, and skilled facilitator, Ashley brings a uniquely comprehensive perspective to every engagement. Her eclectic work experience spanning retail, local government, oil and gas, and Christian ministry provides her with valuable insights into the human dynamic of various industries. She uses that perspective to bring practical strategies that can be utilized immediately to transform any organization.
Beyond her consulting work, Ashley has authored “Faith at Work,” a digital devotional designed to equip Christians to live out their faith in the marketplace in a way that isn’t illegal or obnoxious. She also co-hosts “The Faith at Work Podcast,” a platform dedicated to bridging the gap between Sunday morning and Monday morning and exploring what it means to live out faith in Christ in a messy, imperfect world. In 2024, she founded Kingdom in Action, a growing community built around encouragement to live like Christ everywhere we go.
Ashley is married to her high school sweetheart. Together they have three daughters – one who leads with responsibility, one who leads with laughter, and one who was grafted in against all odds.
Ashley’s life purpose is to use her life and platform to point people to the love of Christ and to stir people up to love each other well. One team at a time.
