About Asali

“I enjoy helping leaders, creatives, and change-makers strengthen their mindset, polish their potential, and thrive with confidence.”

— Asali N. Locke-Ellison
Empowerment Coach & Work-Live-Play Strategist

Helping you remember your power, refine your presence, and show up confidently.

I show people how to be better, not bitter.

I’m Asali, a coach, strategist, and artist who helps people and organizations strengthen their mindset, polish their potential, and thrive with confidence.

My background blends the corporate and the creative. For years, I worked inside organizations leading recruiting, engagement, and team development, often becoming the bridge between executives and employees. I was known for influencing without authority, helping leaders see what others missed, and bringing people together through trust, clarity, and care.

Along the way, I learned that success isn’t just about strategy or skill; it’s about the mindset behind it. I’ve seen how perfectionism, overthinking, or self-doubt can quietly drain the best of us. Positive Intelligence gave me the tools to shift that—to quiet my inner critic, focus my creativity, and move through challenges with more grace and presence.

Through my Work–Live–Play approach, I bridge the art of leadership with the heart of human connection, helping people recover faster from stress, communicate with clarity, and lead with confidence. Whether I’m coaching a professional through their next career move, guiding a team to strengthen collaboration, or helping a woman reconnect with her confidence through movement, my goal is the same:

To help people remember their power, refine their presence, and show up confidently in every space they lead, live, and play.
