Ashley designs learning experiences people love.

In 2025, the most valuable currency isn’t bitcoin or the dollar—it’s your attention. And if you’re spending it on a workshop, it better not feel like a waste of time. Stage Coach workshops are smart, engaging, and actually deliver. No fluff, no nonsense—just something you’ll want to stick around for.

Ashley England, M.S., Ed., is an expert facilitator, instructional designer, and learning consultant. With 8 years in traditional education and 8 more in tech, Ashley understands employees at their peak need learning that’s practical, engaging, and actually helps them work smarter—not harder.

After training with top improv programs at The Second City Chicago and Upright Citizens Brigade NY, then performing on their house companies (and one cruise ship), Ashley knows humor, adaptability, and clear communication expand impact—especially in tech, where complex ideas need to be understood and executed quickly. Her workshops are not only impactful, people actually enjoy themselves!


Outcomes:

Part I: Hooked from Hello

  • Learn how to craft clear, memorable messages.

  • Use storytelling to make your content resonate with any audience.

  • Practice techniques to simplify complex ideas and wow stakeholders.

Part II: Your Authentic Edge

  • Master the art of delivery with personalized coaching.

Learn to simply present better!

Design presentations that people actually listen to and remember, then leverage your authentic style to get them to lean in. This is designed for high-performers who know their stuff but want to nail how they share it.

With 15 years of experience as an actor, improviser, and storyteller (plus the lessons learned from coaching leaders at Netflix, WeWork, and Northwestern University), I designed this to cut through the fluff to focus on what works: clarity, connection, and a little humor.

We’re talking more than slides and reading presenter’s notes—this is about telling stories that stick, delivering with impact, and making people actually care.


Where Every Voice Takes Center Stage: Presentation Skills Workshops

Team Improv Workshops

Become the person everyone wants on their team!

Improv teaches you to make choices bravely, adapt to what you’ve been given, and make the best of it. Practice strategies to get better at those skills through a series of games in a fun, positive environment.

Improv workshops can be very customized to any specific goals you have. In the past, we’ve supported Team Building, Team Trust, Collaboration, Self-Confidence, Bonding after a Re-org, and more.

You’ll Practice:

Taking Bigger Risks. Learn that when you take risks, you see big rewards.

Building Confidence. Trust yourself and make big choices when the “pressure” is on.

Really listening. Practice listening for understanding, not listening to speak.

Saying “yes… and.” We love having our ideas honored, but it also feels good to honor the ideas of others. True collaboration will always lead to better outcomes.
