    Transforming Your Stories: The Courage to Lead with Heart featuring Ashley Cox

    In this episode of The Connectors Podcast, Jolyn and Quinten sit down with Ashley Cox, founder and leadership coach at SproutHR, to explore how the stories we tell ourselves shape the way we lead, and how rewriting them can unlock a more human, heart-centered form of leadership. Ashley brings over 17 years of experience helping women leaders and entrepreneurs build inclusive, people-first workplaces that thrive on empathy, trust, and authenticity. She shares how her own journey from self-doubt and burnout to alignment and confidence taught her that the traits we often try to hide are the very ones that make us powerful leaders. You’ll hear about: • How to transform your inner dialogue into a tool for confidence and connection • Why emotional intelligence and compassion are the new leadership superpowers • The Triangle of Trust framework and how it builds stronger teams • Why assuming positive intent can turn conflict into clarity • What to do when leadership feels lonely and how to stay grounded in purpose Ashley reminds us that leadership is not about perfection or control. It is about courage, vulnerability, and creating space for others to shine. And the moment that changed everything came when she realized that the stories holding her back were not true, they were simply unedited.
