38. The Keys to Courageous Leadership: Inspiration Episode with Ashley Byers


Listen Later

The time for courage is now.  Our communities need the unique combination of leadership skills and style that only we can offer.

 We've talked about courage before, but in this episode you'll get to see it in action and discover the keys to courageous leadership that you can start practicing right away. You'll get to hear from Ashley Byers, as she shares her story of how she discovered courage from her journey as a young single mom to a happily married working woman who regularly challenges herself in multiple ways (including endurance races that span hundreds of miles and multiple days!).

About Ashley:
Ashley Byers of #TeamByers is a two-time IRONMAN Texas Finisher and ultra-runner, having completed two 100-mile distance trail runs and every other distance in between. As a mother, wife, and woman in the sport, she is passionate about helping other women reach their goals and is a run coach for beginners. 

 Ashley is a team member of Renegade Endurance, a national endurance club co-founded by her husband and is also on the Valhalla & Valkyrie Racing Team. She is an advocate for The Woodlands Chapter of Ainsley’s Angels, a national non-profit organization that aims to build awareness about the special needs community and gives individuals with disabilities an opportunity to experience endurance sports. 

When she is not training, she works full time as the Manager of Marketing & Outreach for The Woodlands Area Economic Development Partnership. She has received certificates in Economic Development Marketing & Attraction by the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) and Basic Economic Development by the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service. She is a 2015 graduate of Leadership Montgomery County and will graduate from Lone Star College with her Associate of Arts degree this year. 

 Since moving to the area 16 years ago, Ashley has volunteered with numerous community non-profit organizations. Most recently she is the Immediate Past President of Interfaith Young Professionals and serves on Interfaith of The Woodlands Development Committee. She is also on the Visit the Woodlands Marketing Committee and the PR subcommittee for Memorial Hermann’s In the Pink of Health Committee which brings awareness to breast and ovarian cancer. 

 While juggling different responsibilities and facing challenges, she imparts a motto to others that “If she can, YOU CAN.” Ashley encourages others to step outside of their comfort zone and to dream bigger.
