When it comes to coaches, Ashton is one of the rare kind. He is the driving force for more than 100 5-star Google reviews for Step Change.

After graduating with a commerce/law degree, he turned his hand to street-performing, TV-presenting, stand-up comedy, and film-directing — and even literally ran away with the circus. Now that he has found his niche, these skills/experiences are crucial in developing relevant, topical, and engaging presentations/programs.

Applying his theories and utilising the tools with some of Australia’s largest brands, he believes that in order to constantly provide value, one has to be part of the change itself.

Using his extensive knowledge and experience, he has created and delivered several world-class leadership programs. Foremost of these is the Powerful Presence program, which has consistently been recognised by graduates as the best program they have ever completed.

Ashton is the catalyst of our Capabilities Masterclass Suite. The core module being the Leader's Mindset Masterclass which underpins the Strategic Problem Solving, Smart Decision System, Communications, and Engagement Masterclasses. Using a world-class learning management system, these programs are available via the Institute of Change online learning platform.
