Ashley Kirkwood is an entrepreneur, speaker, award-winning lawyer, and the founder of sales training company, Speak Your Way To Cash®.

After leaving a $300K corporate law career to bet on herself, Ashley built Speak Your Way To Cash® into a multi-million dollar firm that has ranked at the top of the Inc. 5000 list for the past several years. Her work centers on a simple but powerful idea: experts are sitting on knowledge worth far more than they realize, and the right message in the right room can change everything.

Through her company, Ashley has taught tens of thousands of experts, including coaches, consultants, lawyers, doctors, and other credentialed professionals, how to package, pitch, and sell their expertise so they can land larger coaching, consulting, corporate, and speaking contracts. She is the author of Speak Your Way To Cash® and Millions From The Stage, where she translates her methods into practical frameworks readers can put to work immediately.

A former federal trial attorney, Ashley brings a rare combination of courtroom-tested persuasion and real-world business results to the page. She writes with a voice that is direct, warm, and rooted in lived experience, the kind of "big sister" guidance that meets readers where they are and pushes them toward what's possible.

Ashley lives with her husband and business partner, Chris, and their daughter.
